Surreal sculpted cakes from Russia


Sure Fabergé eggs are beautiful, bejewelled and intricate as all hell, but you when you bite into them they really hurt your teeth. Perhaps the surreal sculpted cakes from Zhanna, a St. Petersburg baker are informed by the same passion that fueled the eggmaker to the Tsars.

Lord knows they're certainly detailed enough. Among the 50-plus intricate cakes pictured on English Russia are numerous structures, including bridges, cottages, a kitchen, a Pizza Hut and the Eiffel Tower. I'm not quite sure who Zhanna's clientele is but, based on the eye chart and mouth cakes, I'm guessing it includes eye doctors and dentists.

Many of the cakes sport distinctly American imagery including a blue Reebok sneaker, a Big Mac and numerous depictions of stacks of $100 bills. [via Boing Boing]

Easy Cheese, entertainment for kids of all ages

Although it goes against just about every parenting instinct I possess, sometimes the allure of a can of Easy Cheese is just too much to resist. Easy Cheese has almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever, except that it entertains my children for as long as there is goo in the can. I am not sure exactly what Easy Cheese truly is, anything dairy that can indefinitely remain under pressure and at room temperature has got to be suspicious. But my kids love it and from time to time I succumb to the grocery store yah-yahing, temporarily lose all cognitive functions and agree to purchase a can. I do this because I know that for as long as the contents last, my children will be busily squirting out the orange paste and happily lapping it off of any surface they deem fit.
