Awesome Cake

Can’t Stop The Distance

Can’t Stop The Distance

Hungry? Enjoy a slice of Cake wrapped in spicy Red Hot Chili Peppers in this amazing remix from DJ Cummerbund. The track perfectly melds the song Going The Distance with Can’t Stop, and sprinkles in a dash of R.E.M.’s It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) for flavor.

“Is It Cake?” Goes Off the Rails

“Is It Cake?” Goes Off the Rails

(PG-13: Language) We’ve seen some mighty impressive cakes that look like other things. In this hilarious sketch from Australia’s always-warped Aunty Donna, we learn what happens when the gang takes their cake fakery too far. Memo to self: if visiting their Coffee Café, always bring an Epi-Pen.

A Very Sweet Supercut

A Very Sweet Supercut

If there’s one thing we’ve struggled with in life, it’s having a voracious sweet tooth. So we were ready to run out the bakery by the end of this delicious supercut by Little White Lies featuring movie moments where people were chowing down on cakes, pies, pastries. Also, where’s The Great Pie Fight from Blazing Saddles?

Stop-motion LEGO Cake Factory

Stop-motion LEGO Cake Factory

We’ve seen a LEGO machine that could make pancakes, so the idea of a brick-built cake bakery isn’t that far-fetched. But Tomosteen made their LEGO cake factory using stop-motion animation. The fanciful facility is run by a team of tiny cats, who surprisingly don’t lap up the batter before it can be baked in the LEGO brick oven.

Baking a Water Cake

Baking a Water Cake

Slow-motion photographer wmhejiu shows us how to make a no-bake cake using a plate filled with water, a jumbo steel washer, and a high-speed camera. It’s too bad he couldn’t take a bite out of it in the fraction of a second that the cake-shaped splash existed.

Do you like your birthday cake with lots of layers? Then you need a proper tool to cut through all that cake and icing. Fred’s handsaw-shaped cake cutter should do the trick quite nicely while adding a fun new item to your kitchen toolbox. Its gently-serrated edge also makes quick work of heads of lettuce.

No Short Skirt or Long Jacket

No Short Skirt or Long Jacket

“I want a girl with shoes… and eyes that burn like a diamond.” The object of the narrator’s affection in Cake’s 2001 track Short Skirt/Long Jacket sounds like a pretty amazing woman. But in this version edited by William Maranci, she sounds a bit less desirable. Though she is into Minecraft.

You Want Some Cake?

You Want Some Cake?

(PG-13: Language) Sometimes it’s nice to take home a little bit of leftover cake from a party so you can enjoy it the next day. But this ridiculous comedy sketch from Aunty Donna’s “Haven’t You Done Well” proves the old adage that there can be too much of a good thing.

Stop-Motion Cake Slicing

Stop-Motion Cake Slicing

Animator Kevin Parry spent an absurd amount of time baking in the kitchen to put together this mouth-watering stop-motion clip. It features a hypnotic sequence of colorful cakes gradually being cut away, slice-by-slice. Now we really are in the mood for dessert. Thanks, Kevin.

Pomplamoose: Love You Madly

Pomplamoose: Love You Madly

I don’t you jumping… unless this music’s thumping. The talented musicians of Pomplamoose turn in a great cover of one of our favorite tracks by Cake, the 2001 hit Love You Madly. While we miss the brass of the original, we dig this funky and fresh arrangement too.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Ice cream sammies are pretty yummy all on their own, but Epicurious shows us how to make them just that much better by stacking them together into a decadent mint chocolate layer cake with them. We suppose you could substitute cherry, orange, or almond extract.

Edible R/C Dump Truck

Edible R/C Dump Truck

Hong Kong based Pandora Cake Shop created this amazing dessert that looks and works just like a remote-controlled dump truck toy, but it almost fully edible, including the “dirt” in its hopper. Turn sound on for full effect.

Projection-Mapped Cake

Projection-Mapped Cake

UK pastry chefs Angie Scott Cakes created what would normally be a basic box-tier cake, but its plain white surfaces quickly come to life through the wonders of projection mapping tech. The only thing better would be if you could actually play Pac-Man and Angry Birds on it.

Most Lit Candles on a Cake

Most Lit Candles on a Cake

We’re at the point in life where we’d rather not have a birthday candle to represent every year we’ve been alive. But members from the Sri Chinmoy Center turned their cake into a bonfire with a whopping 72,585 candles on top. CO2 fire extinguishers let the cake remain edible.

Dinara Kasko: Architectural Cakes

Color Changing Cake

Color Changing Cake

From the “what is this sorcery file” comes a cake that’s been frosted in a manner that makes it change colors as it’s viewed from different angles. Apparently it has to do with the combing technique, and wasn’t coated with Plasti-Dip, but you never know.

Hexagonal Cake Knife

Hexagonal Cake Knife

Carpenter Matthias Wandel decided that there’s no reason that cake needs to be eaten in wedges or rectangles, and created a special cutter that makes hexagonal slices of cake instead. We’d expect no less from the guy who built this.
