Try Not To Get Lost In This Demented Cake Maze

Rooms made from and filled with cake sounds wonderful. That is until we look a bit closer, and our cake fantasy quickly turns into a twisted fever dream.

Break Bread LA is a new art installation by Scott Hove, with rooms seemingly made from nothing but cake. Of course, the scenario of floor-to-ceiling frosting is not exactly what it seems.

Firstly, we cannot show up to the LA gallery with a fork, expecting to eat the exhibit… it’s made mostly from building materials, house paint and spackle. Secondly, throughout the rooms, items protrude from the cake walls — such as animal jaws, machine guns, and switchblades. Meant to add contrast to “that bougie cake look,” the items, according to Hove, “possess a real fierce quality that affects us on a very deep level.”

Break Bad LA also includes a watercolor gallery by Keith Magruder, aka Baker’s Son, and will run until March 13th at Think Tank Gallery in Los Angeles.

Ghostbusters Ecto Cooler Is Back, Sorta

When it was announced that we’d be getting a reboot of the 80s classic, Ghostbusters, the clamoring for the re-release of a certain neon-green beverage were inevitable.

Now, it appears that our decades-long wait for the return of Ecto Cooler may soon be over, and lunchboxes nationwide will never be the same. In what appears to be a working production sample, we may be getting our first glimpse into what the new Ecto Cooler might look like. Hi-C logo, trademark, neon-green branding, forty-one grams of sugar… seems legit.

If you need to get familiar with Ecto Cooler before it’s unleashed again, check out Foodiggity’s attempt at a history lesson from 2010, Ecto Cooler: Its Shady Past and Mysterious Disappearance.

Breakup Cakes and Pies Will Let You Down Easy

Breaking up is hard to do. So, to help make the process a bit easier, artist Isabella Giancarlo is encouraging the breaker-upper to become a baker.

Eat Your Heart Out is a fun project that takes the most passive-aggressive and cliché break-up lines, and turns them into delicious baked goods.

So, imagine how much easier it will be, to not have to write an impersonal text or email. And, for the heartbroken, there’s always pie. Giancarlo is actually encouraging submissions for breakup lines here.
