YouTubeLittle Shop of Horrors Cake - Geeky Cake of the Week
By Great White Snark | June 30, 2009
My posts are nothing if not timely, people! In fact, next week–to the chagrin of exactly four people–I’ll be spilling the beans on the shocking secret behind… The Crying Game! So, you know… spoilers! You’ve been warned.
In the spirit of keeping things all 1986-ish and such, I bring you this Little Shop of Horrors cake in the likeness of Audrey II, courtesy of cake-maker Erin (formerly of TMNT cake fame).
I made [this] cake for my best friend’s birthday. I’m pretty much the best best friend ever.
Ah, yes. Erin’s humility is just as arousing as I remember it. Typing out the rest of this post will be quite the challenge, what with the fevered perspiration getting in my eyes and the blood rushing out of my head.

My Super Mario Bros Cake Is Better Than Yours - Geeky Cake of the Week
By Great White Snark | June 23, 2009
Marie of Celebration Generation Cakes spotted the Super Mario Bros cake I posted last month and was all, “Yeah, I guess that’s pretty good. If you’re into cakes that are LAME with a side of WEAK!” (or something thereabouts) and promptly sent me details on this epic, multi-tiered Super Mario Bros cake she made for a wedding back in December.
We do a lot of nerdy/geeky cakes. Nerds and Geeks are our favorite clients, being a nerd (me) and geek (hubby) ourselves! The couple was awesome to work with - *needed* a Super Mario wedding cake.
All of the goombas and troopas are all hand made out of fondant. Everything (Aside from the Mario and Princess toppers) is completely edible. Bowser and the Pirahna Flower are made from Rice Krispie Treat, covered and detailed with fondant.
The levels are accurate - we dug out the old original NES sitting in the basement, and played a ton of Super Mario Bros to.. uh.. research. Arduous research :)
Yes, super-accurate and true to the source material. Both prerequisites in a caketastic game of in your face!

Giveaway: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Season 1.1 on DVD!
By Great White Snark | June 23, 2009
The most important lessons in life, I learned from G.I. Joe public service announcements:
Never give up. Don’t hide in refrigerators. And don’t judge people until you give ‘em a chance, unless they’re from Florida. Or wear crooked baseball caps. Or laugh at the jokes on Two and a Half Men without feeling guilty about it.
And that’s why the best part of the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero: Season 1.1 4-DVD box set isn’t the first 22 episodes of the classic cartoon, the three 5-part mini-series, the “archival” Hasbro toy commercials(!!), or the rub-on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow tattoos.
The best part of this collection is the included G.I. Joe PSAs. Because you, too, should “know,” and then win exactly half of your battles.
The other half… I can’t help you with.
To sign up to win a copy of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero: Season 1.1 on DVD:
- If you haven’t already, get an e-mail subscription to Great White Snark. It won’t cost you nuthin’.
- Leave a comment on this post. In the “Mail (will not be published)” field, enter the same e-mail address of your subscription, so I know who you are.
- In the comment, name the G.I. Joe character you think is least-suited to be giving advice to little kids in public service announcements, and why.
I’ll select the winner at random and announce them in an update to this post next Tuesday, June 23.
