I love the retro illustration on this box of Gerrit's Satellite Wafers, even if I have no idea what's going on. Snow capped mountains? Check. Giant tongue-wagging sun? Check. And...is that a crown peeking out from behind the satellite wafers? Uh. What? Okay. I could've owned this lovely box for just $9.95 from Economy Candy, my favorite candy store in New York City, but as I find Satellite Wafers to be one of the most pointless candies I've ever eaten, I couldn't do it. But if you like eating flavorless styrofoam-like wafers filled with 5% sour powder and 95% air, then go for it....

Photograph from cakespy on Flickr At first glance, I thought Jessie Oleson of Cakespy made a cake-topped version of candy salad, but it's a cake on top of a real salad—and the cake batter contains mayonnaise. Are you cringing? Jessie says this: If you're disgusted by this cake but you're one of the many who indulged in bacon-flavored baked goods in the past year, you take a long look at yourself in the mirror before you judge the mayo cake. Because what makes up mayonnaise—egg yolks, oil, vinegar—is all stuff that would go into a cake anyway. She said it was "the most dense, moist, rich cake we've ever made." Sounds good to me!

Photograph from Sarah Serendipity on Flickr If cookies were to congregate on a wooden surface for something really important in the cookie world, this might be the result. They seem to be paying homage to the center oatmeal lace one, which is clearly a deity in the cookie community. Though not all are pictured, this was part of one woman's 40-ish dozen retro cookies baking project, inspired by a recent Gourmet spread. You can make the same volume with 10 pounds of flour, five pounds of butter, a lot of sugar, and some swearing.

Photograph from jasonlam on Flickr Holiday potlucks bring together foods of all colors, nations, and flavors. When else would this slice-and-bake snowman cookie get to sit on a pile of pasta, near a salad and what appears to be a black bean patty? Jason Lam of Me So Hungry has the right potluck strategy—just pile it all on good....

Photograph from abbietabbie on Flickr It's hard to believe that Christine Hamilton, abbietabbie on Flickr, only makes cakes as a hobby considering how beautiful her cake designs are. Her intricately detailed Jack and Jill cupcake as part of her nursery rhymes series is particularly eye-catching.

Serious eater Cybercita forwarded this photo to me last night. At first I thought we had blogged about this lil' dog in a hot dog bun, but a quick search of the SE archives shows that, nope, we haven't. And that's sort of surprising, considering the panoply of weird-animal-food photos we've got on the site. So, in the interest of being completist—and because it's been a bit of a hot dog day today, here you go....

Photograph from manda_wong on Flickr Sometimes ice cream sandwiches stretch the truth a bit. Where's the white bread and mustard? OK, forget the mustard. But at least one Singaporean street vendor is taking the "sandwich" definition more seriously with this taro ice cream squished between multicolored bread. With crusts! Justice prevails....

To Jack Donaghy's declaration that New York is "off cupcakes and onto donuts", I say: holiday ceasefire! Lay down your weapons and coo over Wild Cakes' Lilliputian turkey dinner, crafted entirely from fondant. Yes, potatoes are perhaps over-represented (mashed and boiled?) on this Thanksgiving table, but who's counting? Not I. [via Yes But No But Yes]...
