Artist Christine McConnell is all about creating dessert masterpieces to freak us out. Her latest series is no exception, with confectioneries to promote the release of Alien: Covenant.

The Chestburster Pie is part of the series, complete with edible symbiont bursting through the pie’s strawberry innards. The Xenomorph Cake, modeled after an alien’s head, is so true to form, that it wouldn’t surprise us if cutting into it would cause severe acid burns.

See more below and over at McConnell’s Instagram.

We assume that there’s no such thing as a Rum Runner or a Zombie available to drink in space. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have an Aliens-themed tiki party.

Aliens Tiki Mugs, by Mondo, are now available for pre-order. The Xenomorph drinkware is available in five colors, hand-glazed, and will hold up to 16 oz. of whatever party drink you can pour into its noggin.

And, when the party’s over and the place is destroyed, you can simply take off and nuke the entire site from orbit… It’s the only way to be sure.

If you’d like to lighten the mood at your next fancy dinner party, you might consider taking a cue from Calamityware by artist Don Moyer.

Using a set of dishware given to him by his great-grandparents as inspiration, Moyer added elements such as giant robots and UFOs to the tranquil willow-patterned themes. Hopefully your stuffy friends have a sense of humor.

Learn everything you needed to know about coffee, as adorably as possible, with Coffee Propaganda. The animated short is made to look and sound like a vintage newsreel from an alien planet, reporting on the discovery of the coffee bean.

The film, while extremely cute and educational, does make Earth sound like it’s full of nothing more than blue water and caffeine addicts. Just so you know, aliens… We can stop at anytime. Enjoy.
