Awesome Lord of the Rings Cupcakes [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 19, 2012 — Leave a comment

A few days ago, I posted some amazing Hobbit cupcakes to celebrate the release of the new Hobbit movie and since it seems everybody is still in a Tolkien frenzy, I figured it would be appropriate to post some awesome Lord of the Rings cupcakes too!

These delicious looking Lord of the Rings cupcakes were created by Maria Yebra, aka Cupcaketeer. These 14 Lord of the Rings cupcakes feature the major characters in the movie ranging from Gollum to Gandolf and even a Ringwraith. I think my personal favorite is the Boromir cupcake although they are all pretty cool!

Dang it, now I am hungry for cupcakes and with the blizzard outside, there is no way I am going to go out and get some. Who wants to deliver me some cupcakes?

Adorable Star Wars Wedding Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 18, 2012 — Leave a comment

Most of the Star Wars wedding cakes I have posted on Global Geek News in the past have taken the from of a Death Star wedding cake or a Millennium Falcon wedding cake. Well, this one is a little different which I think is a good thing because it gives the wedding cake a little more charm than your average Death Star or Millennium Falcon cake.

This Star Wars wedding cake was created by the awesome cake makers at Love Your Cake. This cake features Darth Vader tying the knot with Princess Leia on the top with other classic Star Wars characters such as Yoda, R2-D2, an Ewok and a Stormtrooper are on the other layers.

As amazing as this cake is, I do have one small nitpick about it. With as detailed as the cake is, why isn’t Yoda’s lightsaber straight?! This bugs me. I don’t know why, it just does. It is still a cool cake though!

This Winter Themed Hobbit Cake is Spectacular! [pics]

Jeremy Bray — December 18, 2012 — 2 Comments

It seems to be a rather rare occurrence to come across a cake with a seasonal theme to it. Sure, you will see a ton of gingerbread houses around the holidays like the gingerbread Bilbo Baggins’ hobbit hole, but not so much with cakes. Well, it seems one person decided to change that and make a Hobbit cake that looks like a winter wonderland!

Hobbit fan and Cake Central Member meemawof10 is the person that made this amazing Hobbit themed cake featuring a Hobbit hole, Gandolf the White, Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield. I didn’t know it, but apparently they also love to build snowmen in the shire!

I have to admit, this is one of the more impressive cakes I have seen in some strange way. I’m really curious to know if the snowflakes and the trees are edible or just the hobbit hole.

If you prefer a more evil themed Lord of the Rings cake, check out the Dark Tower cake I posted last week because it will blow your mind!

Spectacular Hobbit Cupcakes [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 17, 2012 — 1 Comment

Although I haven’t had the opportunity to catch the new Hobbit movie yet myself (I usually like to wait a couple of weeks to see a movie anyway to cut down on the number of people that I have to deal with in the theater), I have been hearing a lot of great things about the movie (although I’ve heard the high framerate version is making some people ill). To celebrate its release, I thought I would share some phenomenal Hobbit cupcakes with you guys!

These incredible Hobbit cupcakes were created by Imaginarium Cakes from Wellington, New Zealand. Not having seen the movie or read the book yet, I’m not sure who all of these Hobbits are, so if somebody cares to name them all in the comments below I would really appreciate it.

Gingerbread TARDIS and K-9 [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 17, 2012 — 2 Comments

It seems like I am always posting some TARDIS or Dalek related Doctor Who post, but K-9 never seems to get any love for some reason. Its not that I don’t want to post K-9 stuff because I do, its just that I never seem to come across any K-9 stuff to post. Well, today is different because with this gingerbread TARDIS is a gingerbread K-9!

This fantastic gingerbread TARDIS and K-9 appears to have been made by Megan Lara. If her name sounds familiar, it should! In the past couple of months, I have featured a couple of her amazing Doctor Who t-shirt designs including the Soufflé Girl aka Oswin Oswald shirt and the Rose Tyler Bad Wolf shirt. Whether it is her amazing t-shirt designs (seriously, she is by far my favorite t-shirt design artist) or her TARDIS and K-9 gingerbread creations, I don’t think she can make something that isn’t awesome!

Gingerbread AT-AT Because Gingerbread Houses Are Just Too Mainstream [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 17, 2012 — 1 Comment

Around this time of year, its pretty common to see some festive gingerbread houses that will give any kid a sugar high just from looking at them. Well, when it comes to doing holiday stuff, its should be pretty obvious to anybody who reads Global Geek News on a regular basis that geeks like to do things in the geekiest way they can think of rather than the mainstream, traditional way.

While it seems a lot of geeks like to nerd up their holiday with things like a Darth Vader Christmas tree or a Dalek snowman, apparently one geek decided to tackle the tradition of gingerbread houses and make a gingerbread AT-AT instead.

Unfortunately, I don’t know who made this awesome gingerbread AT-AT so if you know, please let us know in the comments below! Whoever made it, they need to invite me over to their Christmas party because they clearly know how to do Christmas right!

This Lord of the Rings Dark Tower Cake is Mind Blowing! [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 14, 2012 — 3 Comments

Back in April, I posted a picture of a really cool looking Eye of Sauron cake / cupcake tower but as cool as it was, it isn’t half as impressive as this Dark Tower of Barad-dur (aka The Fortress of Sauron) cake.

Lord of the Rings fans will have their mind blown by the cake cake below that was created by the clearly impressive cake maker Cakes by Erin. This Dark Tower cake featuring the Eye of Sauron sitting on a cake modeled after the One Ring measures over 2 feet tall! Not only is the scale of this cake rather impressive, the coloring and detail is amazing!

If you are looking for a way to celebrate the new Hobbit movie without commissioning an epic cake like this to be made, you should check out the fantastic Middle Earth map shirt I posted yesterday.

Super Mario Bento Box and How to Make Your Own! [pic + video]

Jeremy Bray — December 14, 2012 — 1 Comment

I’ve never been one to do the take your own lunch to work thing since I am the guy at work who goes and fetches lunch for everybody, but I still have a tremendous appreciation for the amazing bento boxes that some geeks create. In the past, I have posted a really cool Super Mario bento box (you really should check it out), but I think this is the first time I have found a bento box to post about that comes with a DIY video showing you how to make your own!

DeviantART user Minicuteclub is the creator of this awesome Super Mario bento box and Bullet Bill bento box. Not only does it include the red power-up mushrooms and stars, but even a question box! If you love Mario and bento boxes, this is right up your alley!

Bilbo Baggins Gingerbread Hobbit Hole [pic]

Jeremy Bray — December 13, 2012 — 4 Comments

UPDATE: Graham Putnam of Prince Edward Island, Canada is the creator of this Hobbit gingerbread masterpiece. Thanks to reverseflash for the info!

With everybody excited about the new Hobbit movie that is about to come out, I figured it would be great timing to share this picture of an amazing gingerbread house version of Bilbo Baggins’ Hobbit hole. I may not be a gingerbread person, but I love this great idea for a gingerbread house!

Sadly, I have no clue who made this awesome gingerbread version of Bilbo Baggins’ house so if you know, please let us know in the comments because the creator deserves credit! It may not be as detailed as the Millennium Falcon gingerbread ship I posted recently, but it is still really cool, especially if you are a big Lord of the Rings fan!

Now I am even more excited to go see the new Hobbit movie!

Fantastic Doctor Who Dalek and TARDIS Cupcakes [pics]

Jeremy Bray — December 13, 2012 — Leave a comment

With the Doctor Who Christmas special less than two weeks away, I figured to help get you excited for the Doctor Who Christmas Special (not that you needed another reason to watch it considering we are already getting a new companion) I’d share some pictures of these fantastic Doctor Who TARDIS and Dalek cupcakes!

The clearly talented cupcake makers at The Regali Kitchen in Quezon City, Philippines were the ones that created these cupcakes featuring incredibly detailed TARDIS and Dalek cupcake toppers. I am very impressed! I would rank, these up near the TARDIS and 11th Doctor cupcakes I posted not long ago.

I also want to give these guys props for the watermark on the images. I know that sounds silly but normally I find watermarks on most images to be incredibly annoying but these are so light and subtle that i don’t even notice them unless I am really looking for them and for that I am grateful.
