Geeky food to lighten up your weekend

Among the many food blogs I keep up with, there are a couple of geek-oriented and pop culture blogs I also check regularly. One of my favorites is Geekstir, a blog dedicated to all things sci-if/geek/video games.

Even though Geekstir is not focused on food, there will occasionally be a post about geeky food. This post caught my eye because it's definitely something you could do on a lazy weekend afternoon. Well, maybe not the R2D2 cake, but you could make the Ewok cupcakes, as well as the Darth vader and Yoda pizza's. Have some fun this weekend, and enjoy some geeky food!

Cute Kirby cake

three dimensional cake of a video game character, Kirby.

I'm a huge fan of cake decorating, and I love finding new idea's anywhere. Geekstir probably doesn't jump out as one of those places, but it can be. They'll post just about anything that has to do with video games or anything "geeky". True, most of the content on that site is inedible, but every once in a while you get a real gem like this Kirby cake.

I only wish Geekstir had provided information on where this cake came from. I'd love to see what other work this decorator has done. If you have a pop culture/ geek aficionado you could get some great idea's for a birthday cake at Geekstir, in addition to many other places.

Undead Twist on the Food Pyramid

The FDA's food pyramid has helped people from all walks of life decide what to eat every day. Now, however, there is a new walk of life, or I should say unlife, that will benefit from the pyramid. The Zombie food pyramid sets new guidelines for the undead in their insatiable pursuit of sustenance.

There's only one problem with it: Zombies like brains the most, so why is it the base group? Live humans have to consume fats and sugars sparingly. I think the FDA got it wrong when they put the food that zombies crave as the one they can eat the most. That's like saying you can eat 6-11 servings of ice cream a day!

I'm going to start a letter writing campaign to the FDA telling them they're wrong (like they don't get any of those). One of the pyramids needs to be changed. Either I get to eat 6-11 servings of sugar/fat a day or zombies need to gnaw sparingly on brains. I don't know how many zombies are out there, but I'm hoping for the ice cream so they get to keep the brains. Mmmmmm brains.
