Portal Companion Cube Wedding Cake With LEGO Atlas & P-Body Toppers [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 6, 2012 — 2 Comments

When it comes to wedding cakes, this wedding cake might just be the smallest one I have ever seen (although about in line with many groom’s cakes I have seen).  Most wedding cakes tend to be this giant cake with multiple tiers that is meant to feed a couple hundred people.  However, this cake looks like it is only big enough to feed me.

Anyway, despite its small size, this Portal Companion Cube wedding cake with LEGO Atlas & P-Body toppers looks really cool!  Although Atlas & P-Body aren’t edible (obviously), the Companion Cube cake was orange and chocolate flavored!

Sadly, I don’t know who made this or who the happy couple was that had this at their wedding.  If you know who this cake belonged to, let us know in the comments below so we can give them credit!

A MARVEL-ous Skirt [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 6, 2012 — 1 Comment

One of the things I find most rewarding about blogging on Global Geek News is being able to share the really cool and super geeky things I come across with people that will appreciate them.  However, what I really love is when people share the really cool and super geeky things they make with me!

This skirt was brought to my attention when Etsy seller Kimi e-mailed me about her Etsy store where she sells geeky skirts like this ranging from Star Wars to Batman.  The best part is that the geeky aspects of the skirts tend to be very subtle so they are appropriate for wearing to the office or a con.

Anyway, I think my favorite dress that Kimi is selling is this awesome Marvel skirt which features the covers of a bunch of Marvel comics.  She is selling this for $65 so if you are a female Marvel fan, I suggest you check it out!  If you like it, check out the rest of her store too!

Amazing Pixelated MegaMan Cookies [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

I am always blown away by the things that the folks over at Nerdache Cakes make.  In the past, I have posted a bunch of their creations including some amazing Legend of Zelda cookies and some amazing Doctor Who TARDIS and 11th Doctor cupcakes.  When it comes to baked goods, they really do make the best stuff I have ever seen.

Well, the Nerdache Cake folks have struck again and this time they have made a spectacular pixelated MegaMan cookie!  Apparently this is actually a jumbo sized sugar cookie that measures 16″ tall while his blast is around 6″!  If the size and incredible detail on this MegaMan cookie wasn’t enough, it took and incredible 12 hours to make!  That is a crazy amount of time to spend on a cookie but at least it was well worth the effort!

Epic Eye of Sauron Hobbit Book Display [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 4, 2012 — 2 Comments

Having moved over to ebooks years ago when I got my Kindle 2, I haven’t been in a physical book store in years.  However, I know there are a lot of people out there who don’t want to move into the 21st century and still prefer reading physical books and buying from brick and mortar book stores.  While I generally don’t understand why people wouldn’t want to move to ebooks as I find them to be much more convenient and usually cheaper than physical books, they do have one thing that us ebook users don’t have and that is awesome book displays.

Speaking of awesome book displays one store which I am guessing is probably a Barnes & Noble (although I have no idea where) apparently decided to try to cash in on the excitement over the upcoming Hobbit movie by selling sets of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books in a giant display made to look like the Eye of Sauron.  I declare this to be amazing!

This Dalek Christmas Tree is Ready to Exterminate Santa! [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

Its that time of year again when it looks like Santa Clause threw up all over my living room and my neighbor’s front yards after having a little too much eggnog.  While I am not a huge fan of the highly commercialized Christmas holiday and the outrageous electric bill that goes with it, like other sci-fi loving geeks, I know that the real reason to celebrate Christmas is the annual Doctor Who Christmas special!

Speaking of Doctor Who and Christmas, it seems one Christmas loving Whovian decided to turn their Christmas tree into a Christmas Dalek!  I’m not sure who decorated this Christmas tree like a Dalek (if you know, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them the credit they deserve), but I am very curious to know where one finds a Christmas tree with a rounded top?!

This isn’t quite as bright of a tree as the pink and gold Dalek Christmas tree I posted last year but I don’t suppose it matters what color the Dalek tree is when it comes to exterminating Santa!

This Stormtrooper Snow Sculpture is Impressive! [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

One of the things I love about this time of year is all of the cool snow and ice sculptures that people make.  Of course none of them are coming from around here as I can’t even remember the last time we got any rain or snow and even most of our ski resorts don’t even have snow!  However, apparently its always snowing somewhere because somebody(s) made this awesome Stormtrooper snow sculpture!

I’m not sure who actually made this awesome Star Wars inspired Stormtrooper snow sculpture as I just spotted it being shared around on Facebook, so if you know, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them credit!  This is definitely more impressive and monolithic compared to the rather small (but still cool) Stormtrooper snow sculpture I posted last year.

Boba Fett Mailbox [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

In my neighborhood, everybody’s mailbox is up at or in their front door.  The old curbside mailboxes aren’t something you see a very often and I can think of only a couple neighborhoods in town that are like that.  I find that to be a bit unfortunate because there are some great mailbox ideas out there like the Darth Vader mailbox I posted some time ago or in this case, a Boba Fett mailbox!

I’m not positive, but judging by the watermark on this picture, I would say this awesome Boba Fett mailbox was created by James Hance for somebody named Bob A. Fett (if this is incorrect please let me know in the comments below as my Facebook friends aren’t that great at crediting the original creator of the stuff they share).

If you are a Star Wars fan looking for a way to geek up your mailbox, this is a pretty good idea!

This Chocolate Dalek Cake is a Chocolate Overload [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 3, 2012 — 1 Comment

I wouldn’t say I am a chocoholic by any means, but like everybody else, I do enjoy some M&Ms or other forms of chocolate on occasion.  However, I think this chocolate Dalek cake would be a chocolate overload for even the biggest of chocolate lovers!

This Dalek chocolate cake is known as Extermination by Chocolate and it was created by the chocoholics over at Chocablog.  You can get the recipe for this 15″ tall Dalek chocolate cake over at their blog as well as see more picture and get a good description on how it was made.

As a huge Doctor Who fan I love this (even if I wasn’t it is still awesome) but just the thought of that much chocolate is enough to make me sick.

EXTERMINATE!

Amazing Millennium Falcon Gingerbread Ship [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 3, 2012 — 2 Comments

Making gingerbread men and gingerbread houses is a holiday tradition for many but it has never been something my family has ever been into.  To be honest, I am not a big holiday person in general but I do enjoy seeing the holiday themed geeky things that people come up with this time of year.  In the past, I have enjoyed things like the 8-bit video game holiday wreath (which you should buy if you love video games) and the Darth Vader Christmas tree.  Now we can add a gingerbread Millennium Falcon to the list of great geeky holiday things!

This amazing Millennium Falcon gingerbread ship was part of Canada’s National Gingerbread Showcase 2012.  The piece is named Canoe Wars as it was created by Canoe Brewpub.  I am blown away by the amount of detail on this gingerbread Millennium Falcon!

This gingerbread ship should be enough to put any Star Wars fan in the holiday spirit!

Tie Fighter Birthday Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  December 3, 2012 — Leave a comment

Birthday cakes in my family have always been rather plain.  Other than maybe some pictures or some writing on them that says something to the effect of happy birthday, cakes in my family aren’t fancy.  However, some people like to spent a little more to go all out on birthday cakes, especially for their kids which is what appears to be the case with this awesome Star Wars Tie Fighter birthday cake!

This cool Star Wars Tie Fighter cake was made for Tristan’s 6th birthday by Cake Diane Custom Cake Studio.  The Tie Fighter was made with Rice Krispes Treats (yum!) covered with fondant (yuck!) while the wings were made of gumpaste (I’m not sure what that is but it doesn’t sound tasty).  As for the actual cake, it was a buttercream iced cake with the stars made out of fondant.  I’d say it turned out great!
