Boy Wizard Geekcakes

The Wikipedia for Harry Potter, opens by saying: 

Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British Author J.K. Rowling.

It’s a simple statement, but it doesn’t *quite* cover the fantasy phenomena that is Harry Potter.  
Seven novels, one (to date) spinoff novel, five films (at time of writing), twenty video games, one theme park (due to open in 2009), one proposed musical and almost enough merchandising to challenge the star wars commercial juggernaut. None too shabby considering the first book was only published in 1997.
Oh – and  two most excellent cakes as found on Flickr.  The first is by debbiedoescakes, and the second is by whiplashgirlchild. Check out both of their Flickr galleries for more cake art.

Weighted Companion Cube, Edible Elder Gods, and Pi !

Friday, July 18th, 2008
Jennyvier over at Flickr, got inventive with cookie dough and baked these delicious looking ‘Weighted Companion Cube’ cookies from the game ‘Portal’.

The dough was apparently leftover from making Battlestar Galactica Cylon cookies. Is there no end to this woman’s Geekcake genius?

Richard Crawford’s Wife used I’m-not-sure-what-ingenuity to create this fiercesomely cute Cthulu cake for his 40th Birthday.

Richard describes it’s complicated construction:
“She used a teddy bear cake pan as the basis. The wings are Styrofoam. The tentacles are marshmallows. And in addition to being the coolest cake ever, by the coolest wife ever, it was absolutely delicious.”
If Cthulu were ever to wake from slumber, I hope it’s in an edible cake form!


Last, but by no means least, Pi cookies created by Spugmeistress over at Flickr:
