Geek Cakes!

While I've been posting the occasional geeky cake here, I should have realized that there would be an entire blog devoted to the subject. Super geek cake categories:

• maths
• chemistry (check out the pictured cake!)
• physics
• gaming

Such yummy-looking geekiness!

Edible Solar System

A professionally-designed 3-D cake a work of art, at least compared to the boring sheet cakes I whip together in my kitchen. While the Food Network show Ace of Cakes showcases edible buildings, cars, and critters, they don't seem to have done many science geek cakes. That's why it's great to see cake artists like Cakes by Bob who have taken on that challenge. His solar system cake with four rotating planets would be awesome for an astronomical celebration, whether it's a birthday party or the successful repair of the Hubble telescope. Science geeks near Richmond, Virginia should check it out.

Physics Wedding Cakes

Let's say you are a physicist. Let's also say that your betrothed is also a physicist. What better way to share your love of physics with your family and friends than by celebrating your nuptuals with a physics wedding cake? The picture is from an article in Symmetry magazine about physicist couples.

Mii chocolates

Paul Pape Designs has made the perfect chocolate for your Wii gaming sweetheart: a candy heart that comes in a game unit-shaped box.

Unfortunately, it's sold out, but bookmark his site in case he offers them again next year.

If you pop the marriage question, keep in mind that Paul Pape Designs also offers personalized gaming cake toppers, featuring "MiiSpace" figures designed to your specs.

DIY Valentine's Day Gifts

The MAKE Blog has a roundup of do-it-yourself ideas for Valentine's Day. They include a wide range of projects, from bleeding heart cupcakes to LED "I Love You"s . There is nothing like making a LOVE sign or touch-activated valentine (pictured) to show your Geek Girl how much you care. (And there is nothing hotter than a man who knows his way around a soldering iron.)
