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).”

As the creators of an entire Bacon Gift Shop, you know we love bacon more than almost anything. So it should come as no surprised that we were delighted and suddenly hungry when we first set eyes on these beautiful sugar cookies.

Jennifer of Not Your Mamma’s Cookie created the recipe for these awesomely enticing Bacon Cookies. They look so much like mouthwatering rashers of bacon! They’ve even got that distinct wavy form that all truly tasty bacon has as well as blackened peppery edges.

So how did she do it? Click here for the recipe and instructions.

As much as we love a tasty donut (and we really, really do), on April 1st, if someone offers you a donut it might be wise to think twice before taking a bite.

Jill from Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons came up with an awesome April Fool’s Day prank in which a complete meatloaf dinner has been convincingly disguised as half a dozen Dunkin’ Donuts. She calls them April Fools Dunkin Phonuts.

The donuts are made of ground turkey meatloaf, covered in mashed potato frosting, and finished with a chopped bell pepper sprinkles. But that’s not all. The deceptive donuts are served up with a piping hot cup of fresh… mushroom gravy.

We’re guessing that these “phonuts” are probably pretty tasty in their own right, but that’s only if  you and your tastebuds know what you’re getting into. But hey, that’s decidedly not what April Fool’s Day is about, right?

Please pardon us while we have a short glee and sugar-induced freak-out. If you’ve been following the Geyser of Awesome for even a little while you’ll know how much we enjoy anthropomorphism, googly eyes, and sweets. We’ve just encountered an awesome combination of all three:

A punny ice cream parlour in Barcelona, Spain named Eyescream sells shaved ice cream imported from Taiwan that they serve up with tasty pairs of sauces and toppings and… wait for it…  googly eyes made of sugar.

So your sweet frozen treat stares up at you while you eat it. Is the ice cream creature paralyzed with fear or excited that you’re about to enjoy it? It’s important to consider what one’s personified food might be thinking, so these are the questions we ask ourselves.

It looks like it’s time for another field trip. We hope you’ll join us. The more people, the more flavours and toppings we can try.

This grotesquely awesome Zombie Cake was created last October by Elizabeth Marek of the Artisan Cake Company as a display for the Portland Women’s Show.

Because the cake was made for display and not for eating (more’s the pity, we’d happily tear off and devour a piece of this rotting brain-eater) the Zombie Cake was made using Rice Krispy Treats. The skin is modeling chocolate and the shredded remains of t-shirt are fondant. The ruby red brain was created using a gelatin mold, possibly much like our very own Zombie Brain Gelatin Mold.

“I hope I get some more zombie orders because I think this is the most fun I ever had making a cake to date.”

Elizabeth, we hope you make more zombie cakes too!

We absolutely love these awesome Doctor Who cookies! They’re the work of The Cookie Cowgirl. Each of the eleven Doctors has been depicted with remarkable detail. There’s also a fantastic Dalek, the TARDIS, one of the Cybermen, three Sonic Screwdrivers, and even a haunting silhouette of one of the Weeping Angels. These treats might just be too awesome to eat. Maybe.
