Archie McPhee's Endless Geyser of AWESOME!

Inspired by the lavish HBO movie Behind the Candelabra, San Francisco-based mosaic portrait artist Jason Mecier (previously featured here) created this awesome edible portrait of Michael Douglas as Liberace.

Jason spent over 40 hours and used more than 4000 Mike & Ike candies to creating this fabulous mosaic. We can’t help but wonder how many pieces of candy he ate during those 40 hours. Had it been us, we would’ve have a hard time not eating all of our art supplies.

The inestimably awesome Sir Patrick Stewart took this fantastic self-portrait in which he fashioned a piece of pink cotton candy into a fabulous mustache. We’re speechless with glee.

And if that wasn’t enough to put a smile on your face, click here to see him molding a larger piece of cotton candy into another self-portrait.

We’ve featured the incredibly awesome and painstaking work of New York-based artist Kevin Champeny a couple times before: You may recall his beautiful and astonishingly elaborate mosaics or his wonderfully colourful and complex candy chandeliers, aka Candeliers.

So we were delighted when Kevin recently contacted us about this seriously impressive video featuring time-lapse footage of him building one of his awesome Candeliers. In fact, it’s the very same Candelier featured in this post.

Kevin spends over 156 hours on the construction of one Candlier. This particular piece was made using over 3000 hand-cast acrylic GummiBears and measures 18” in diameter. It’s a deliciously awesome sight to behold and we’re even more impressed now that we’ve seen exactly how it was made. Thanks Kevin!

Bacon Beans - There’s a lot of disagreement about which flavor of jelly bean is the worst. Some people hate black jelly beans, some hate the white ones. Why not end the whole discussion and get Bacon flavored jelly beans? The Easter Piggy is coming to town!

Jessie Oleson, our favourite Dessert Detective and maven of sweetness otherwise known as Cakespy (previously featured here), has outdone herself once again. This ooey-gooey creation is a Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg.

A traditional Scotch Egg is a savoury treat consisting of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. The Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg, while no healthier, is all about sweetness:

“The Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg is coated with a thick cocoa-kissed batter, then coated in cookie crumbs and deep-fried. When eaten warm, the taste calls to mind that of a deep-fried candy bars that one can find at state fairs. Though in my opinion, these have slightly more complex flavor thanks to the cocoa in the batter and the vanilla cookie crumbs. Speaking of the crumbs, they also give the treat a pleasing crunch, which acts as a nice texture contrast to the cakey batter and soft, gooey chocolate and sugar-filled interior.”

Looking at these photos makes our teeth hurt and our stomachs rumble. Oh sweet Cadbury Creme Eggs, how we’ll miss you once you’re gone for the year.
