The awesomely macabre skull wedding cake is the work of culinary wizard and food artist Annabel de Vetten, aka Conjurer’s Kitchen. You might not guess to look at it, but everything about this cake is edible. Working from a theme of “‘Til Death Do Us Part,” Annabel created the incredible cake for the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza, which recently took place in Birmingham, England.

“It features solid chocolate skulls of 16 carrion crows, 12 domestic kittens, 3 Vervet monkeys, and 4 barn owls, all of which the artist sculpted by hand. Made from White Chocolate Mudcake, the cake took her over 100 hours to complete in total. There are two options of toppers: a chocolate conjoined kitten skull, or dried flowers from an actual wedding bouquet (ones shown here from her own).”

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.

Bacon and chocolate are both awesome things, which means these beautiful strips of Sweet & Spicy Bacon Coated with Nutella are indescribably wonderful. That’s right, it’s not just chocolate, it’s Nutella. *Cue the Homer Simpson drooling sounds*

They were created by Paula over at Bell’ Alimento for World Nutella Day. And, yes, you’ll find the recipe over there as well. Get to it! (And then please invite us over.)

Do you think you could eat an entire car made of chocolate? Philadelphia-based food sculpting duo Jim Victor and Marie Pelton made this awesome life-size chocolate replica of the No. 18 Toyota Camry M&M’s racing car. They layered melted chocolate, cocoa, and cocoa butter onto a frame to form the exterior of the race car. Yum!

These beautiful creatures, a European Eel, slug and a Great Crested Newt are completely edible. They’re delicious creepy crawlies made of solid chocolate and painted with pigmented cocoa butter. They were created by Chris Verrae, owner and operator of Cake for Breakfast, an awesome chocolate and cake shop in London. 

Chris made these edible creatures for a project entitled Robyn’s Chocolate Museum of Natural History: 

“New addition to chocolate ‘Pond Life – British Icons’: European Eel and the Great Crested Newt… Together with earthworm, snails, leech, toad and slug (coming soon) they were the main characters in a diorama mimicking their natural habitat, including pond ofcourse. Unfortunately the show was cancelled but I’m hopeful I’ll get a chance in the near future to put it all together. The exhibit would have been accompanied by a museum shop, serving as a buffet…”

It sounds like it would have been an awesome (and delicious) display. We hope Chris gets another opportunity to see it through.

Liz, of the food/cooking blog Girl Meets Bowl, concocted an awesome recipe for Golden Snitch Truffles. They’re easier to catch and decidedly tastier than the sort Harry Potter chased after. Click here for the recipe and step-by-step instructions.
