Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time, celebrated his 30th birthday in style...with a Beemo cake that was almost too cute to eat.
When someone did finally work up the nerve to slice into poor little Beemo they discovered a magically delicious surprise inside- rainbow colored cake layers divided by white frosting. Mmmmm...cakey!

Sweet, salty and cheesy? The first two sound great, but that last one -I'm not so sure there. What do you guys think -go or no go?
Even as someone who doesn't like coffe, I can tell you that at 98% sugar and cream to 2% coffee is still tasty to most of us "coffee haters" -so this chart is most certainly accurate.

The Loveless Cafe of Tennessee has quite a few tasty dishes on its menu, but perhaps the most impressive to those who love the salty, crunchiness of bacon is the bacon apple pie seen above. If you can't make it to Nashville to grab a slice for yourself, then don't miss the recipe at the link.
Soy sauce looks like an overhead view of a futuristic city amidst a crimson desert when examined under a microscope, with howling demon and skull spirits floating around scaring up salty flavor.
The microscopic view of crystallized soy sauce was taken by Yanping Wang of the Beijing Planetarium, and the image took tenth place in Nikon's 2010 Photomicrography competition.
Nothing like spending happily ever after in the Shire amidst the comfort of Bag End. This lovely creation was put together by Tiffany's Baking Company.

What may look like a typical mint cookie, is really a diabolical and possibly hallucinogenic absinthe cookie. Who wants one? Absinth has steadily been gaining traction as a popular drink since the beginning of the 1990s. It was originally banned from the US and many parts of Europe in 1915, somewhat rashly in retrospect. The claims of any real psychoactive properties have largely been exaggerated, and the drink is no more dangerous than any ordinary spirit.
The fine people over at A Fine Kettle of Ish have the perfect recipe to fill you craving for the mysterious liquid covered cookie. You don't even need that much to make it, just some standard cookie making ingredients, some high quality absinthe, and food coloring. Apparently it also goes very well with strong coffee.

Check out an entire party's worth of cocktails that are not only named for your favorite video games, superheroes, and fantasy worlds, but they look like them, too! Shown here is the fruit and rum concoction the Metroid. There's also the Castlevania Vampire's Kiss Cocktail, the Tick, the Minecraft Dirt Block, and the Giggling Yoda, among others.

Imnopeas has a great idea for a romantic marriage proposal. She baked an engagement ring inside a fortune cookie with an appropriate message. With a bit of decorating and a plate made for serving fortune cookies, it's a great presentation that may seal the deal.
A lot of food in developed nations is simply wasted: cooked, but never eaten. Freeganism, a culinary lifestyle, has developed around it. Freegans dine on discarded food. Now television producers in Austria have developed a cooking show around that idea:
A typical episode of Waste Cooking begins with a group of divers congregating on their bikes. They then set off into the night, their bike lights flashing, in search of trash cans specifically designated for organic waste — Austria has had an ordinance requiring separate collection of organic waste since 1995.
Invariably, the divers gather an impressive haul of pristine fruits, vegetables, cheese and other foods, packaged or not. Then Vienna food blogger and cooking instructor Tobias Judmaier transforms it into vittles in a kitchen set up on a public pedestrian thoroughfare, where he and others try to lure passersby to taste their fare. Many are titillated by the gambit, but some wrinkle their noses when they learn the provenance of the food.
Have you ever tried freeganism? What was your experience like?
