Rice Krispy Treats Zombie Wants You to.. Eat Its Jello Brains?

By Hazel Chua on 03/27/13 • Leave a comment!

Zombie Rice Krispies Cake

Do zombies have brains? I used to think that they didn’t, considering the fact that they move like unthinking beings. At least, that’s what they do on The Walking Dead anyway. Note that I said I ‘used to’, because if this edible bust of a zombie is to be believed, then it means that the undead are walking around with a brain in their not-so-thick-skulls–a brain made of Jello.

Obviously, I only mean this extremely awesome-but-gruesome zombie cake that was made by the Artisan Cake Company using Rice Krispy Treats, fondant, petal dust, and a whole lot of food coloring.

The Cake Hotel: A Sweet Escape for One Night Only

By Hazel Chua on 03/26/13 • Leave a comment!

Cake Hotel

Hansel and Gretel’s gingerbread house has got nothing on the Cake Hotel. For one, the witch-made house in their story obviously can’t hold up to harsh outdoor conditions. It has pretty crappy interiors, too, considering the fact that it was pretty bare except for a huge oven (or cauldron–depending on which version of the story you’re reading) where the kids were supposed to be cooked in.

On the other hand, the Cake Hotel put up by refinery Tate and Lyle Sugars is all about comfort and luxury. The lush room was decorated with elaborate and edible trimmings and furnishings, with vanilla sponge cushions propped up on the bed and a hand-stitched meringue rug that you’re supposed to chew on, now walk on.

There’s Food In Your Hair: Would You Like Fries With Your ‘Do?

By Hazel Chua on 03/22/13 • Leave a comment!

Food Hair

I can imagine a bunch of crazy scenarios where food would somehow end up being spread all over your head. I don’t know when it became fashionable to ‘wear’ food on your head, either, but I guess I’m a little late on the trend because these foodie hair accessories are popping up all over the place–and I just heard about them today.

Apparently, walking around and looking like you’ve got some pancakes or fries on your head is hot these days. What’s even hotter is when you’re wearing a strip of bacon on your hair instead.

You can hit the break to check out a couple more shots of the delicious accessories.

Sleep If U Can App: Take the Exact Same Picture You Set Earlier to Shut the Alarm

By Hazel Chua on 03/22/13 • 1 Comment

Alarm Clock

The mark of a good alarm clock app is when people hate it–because then, it’ll mean that it actually works. The newest alarm clock app making the rounds is called Sleep If U Can. It’s funny that they should pose that challenge, because I’m sure most people who get this app won’t be able to once the alarm goes off.

What sets this app apart from the rest is what you’re supposed to do in order to shut it up. There’s no snooze button or password to enter. Instead, you’ll have to get up and take the exact same photo of whatever it was you chose to set as your wake-up shot earlier.

Rollie Eggmaster Makes Egg Tubes On Sticks

By David Ponce on 03/21/13 • 1 Comment

Screen Shot 2013-03-21 at 1.11.14 AM

Breakfast got you stumped? The Rollie Eggmaster turns the difficult task of… cooking eggs into one that’s as simple as making a toast. Simply crack your eggs right into its cylindrical non-stick container, press a button and wait for your fully cooked egg creation to, uh, rise out of there. There’s a heating element inside that cooks your eggs, and a mechanical ejector that pushes the contents out when ready. Like any self-respecting infomercial-grade product, the Rollie Eggmaster actually looks like something we might enjoy around the office… once we get past everything looking a little like turds. Because when you think about it, it’s kind of genius. You can eat your eggs on a stick, which is great when you’re running out the door and can’t sit for breakfast. Or you can make other things like burritos, or pizza rolls. We’re… we’re getting the credit card as we type these words. It’s $30!

Bonus: tons of giggles at the rising-boner appearance of the egg products as they eject slowly.

Face Stealer App: Letting People Steal Other People’s Faces, One Face At a Time

By Hazel Chua on 03/19/13 • Leave a comment!

Face Stealer

Eyes too small? Nose a little bit crooked? Cheekbones too high for your taste? Everyone has something to complain about how they look. Perhaps it wasn’t the intention of the Face Stealer app to make people feel better about their looks, but I think that’s what most people will end up feeling after they ‘steal’ a couple of faces and try them on for size using this app.

So it’s not the most sophisticated face merging app there is, but it does the job fairly well and it’s for free.

What Goes In Must Come Out: Rainbow Pasta Amidst Parmesan Clouds

By Hazel Chua on 03/18/13 • 1 Comment

Rainbow Pasta

As the title hinted, there are going to be some references to ass kabobs, so if you’re easily grossed out, then I suggest you just look at the pretty pictures and skip the not-so-pretty words.

You know how, as a kid, you’d wonder why you’d have bum nuggets that are black as coal or turds that are slightly greenish sometimes? At this point in your adulthood, you probably already know why your lumpy farts are that shade of gray: it’s all that damn coloring in your food! I’d normally stay away from food color bombs like the bowl of rainbow spaghetti you see pictured above–but St. Paddy’s day comes only once a year, and you know what they say about special occasions: it calls for special food, too.… Continue Reading

It’s Not Your Screen, It’s the Furniture: Ferruccio Laviani’s Hand-Carved Glitchy Cabinet

By Hazel Chua on 03/15/13 • 1 Comment

Ferruccio Laviani Furniture1

DON’T HIT THAT REFRESH BUTTON!

There’s nothing wrong with your screen, because that’s what the wooden storage unit pictured above is supposed to look like. This hand-carved cabinet of sorts is called the Good Vibrations Storage Unit and it was created by architect Ferruccio Laviani for the 2013 Furniture Exhibition. Even if you’re not into wooden furniture, you have to admit that it’s all sorts of impressive. What sets it apart is its glitchy design, which obviously required a high degree of skill and careful handiwork to pull off.

You can check out the entirety of Laviani’s glitchy creation after the break.

Woman Discovers Her Fiance’s Cheating Ways…On Russian Google Maps

By Hazel Chua on 03/08/13 • Leave a comment!

Google Maps Breakup

Discovering that your significant other is messing around with someone else behind your back sucks. The silver lining is that at least you found out about it now rather than later. In Marina Voinova’s case, it was her fiance (now ex-fiance) who did some canoodling with some unknown, random chick. What makes her case different is that she didn’t find out by snooping around or walking in on them or something.

Instead, she found out on the Russian version of Google Maps called Yandex Maps.
