2. R2D2 Cake Updated: R2M5 Cake

Mark Randazzo, who has a bakery, Mark Joseph Cakes, got a lot of buzz for his cake-making skills on BoingBoing, Gizmodo, Elite Choice and more. Now, you can get the instructions on how to make your very own R2D2 R2M5 cake at B-Side Blog from Mark. The legs are made from Rice Crispie treats too!

4. For the Dungeon & Dragons Geek (via Geekologie)

This delicious dragon was made by Mike’s Amazing Cakes for some kind of Dungeon and Dragon party. If you can’t afford to have one made, you can try to make your own dragon cake – but it probably won’t be quite as amazing.

7. Wii Cake for Gamer Geeks

Back in July, 2007 Wired Magazine’s “How To” feature included a Wii Cake that was inedible due to support structures.

Here’s instructions on how to make your own Wii cake and is another wii cake version by craftastica. I wonder if Martha has ever even played a Wii?

Found over at geekadelphia, made by Zoe Lukas this is made out of spiced carrot ginger cake with cream cheese icing. All those cute little details, the chopsticks, soy sauce bowl, snap peas… they aren’t plastic. Those are edible, made out of gum-paste, and the bamboo, wasabi, ginger… made out of fondant. The rice is coconut. If you have a hankering for twinkies, check out hostess snack cake sushi or look at these stunning sushi cupcakes on Flickr by Debbie Does Cakes.
