Video: Stop Motion Cake in 'Food About You'
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, French artist Alexandre Dubosc made this stop motion animation of making a cake in a laboratory-like kitchen.March Madness: Cake vs. Pie
What's more important than college basketball? The battle between cake and pie. In honor of March Madness, Jezebel is holding a Cake Vs. Pie Tournament with 32 contenders. In the first round, birthday cake won over fruitcake, and apple pie won over grasshopper. You can vote in the second round until 2:55 p.m. today, and the next round will take place on Monday.The Heckman Method for Putting Candles on a Birthday Cake
Industrial designer Carlo Heckman came up with an orderly way of putting candles on a birthday cake.Video: 'Yellow Cake' Animated Short by Nick Cross
Yellow Cake by Canadian animator Nick Cross tells the tale of a small town of happy little bakers driven to terrorism by the greed of their leader and cake-hungry fat cats, resulting in the town's ultimate destruction. In an interview with Slow Decade, Cross explains that he got the idea for the film in 2003 in light of speculation that Iraq was buying uranium powder called yellow cake.

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!

Even if you don't like percentages and figures, the financial crisis has caused everyone to be a little more aware of numbers. Lucky for us, the idea of number-crunching can be converted to chocolate-munching. Tina Roth Eisenberg of the blog Swiss Miss, clued us in to Mary & Matt's chocolate pie chart. At five and a half ounces, the chocolate breakdown works to, 70 percent milk, 20 percent dark, and 10 percent white. How do you like those numbers? I just wish there were something like this when I was studying the math section for the GREs, I am sure my score would have been higher....Punctuation-Heavy Olympics Cake
Do parentheses and quotes somehow cancel each other out? Seems a bit superfluous for this cake baker to go through all that punctuation trouble. Couldn't the extra icing have gone to a better cause? Like a few quote, unquote rings? (What the cake order form was probably requesting in the first place.) [via amanda0730]...What's Better than Tom Selleck? A Tom Selleck Cake!
Not sure what type of birthday cake to get the Tom Selleck fan in your life? And you're fine with staring at multiple photos of him shirtless for the cause? Blogger Alicia of Alicia Poicia realized that only this gooey chocolate toffee cake could rival Selleck himself. And only chocolate sprinkles could rival actual chest hair. (The pink flowers were also a nice touch.) "I have never made a cake that was so well received and complimented...and my friend truly did have and happy (and hairy) birthday." Emma is one lucky lady. [via Craftzine]...Cakesicle Pan
Eating cake with a fork is so last year. In fact, forget about plates too. These Norpro Cakesicle pans from Target offer a new alternative just in time for summer: stick a stick in it. One eight-cakesicle pan also comes with 25 sticks and a free recipe booklet.
