Artist Alexandre Dubosc is really good at making cakes. He also has a knack for zoetropes and blowing our minds.
His latest creation, Gâteau Gato, is loaded with trippy cats and cat-related objects. Watch it go ’round and ’round — kind of the way Fluffy chases that elusive laser pointer.

If you grew up in the 80s, then you probably spent a lot of time, and your parents’ money, trying to find your name on a Garbage Pail Kids sticker.
Sideserf Cake Studio has gotten in on the nostalgia, with the Garbage Pail Kids Cake. Using the card and cover-boy, Adam Bomb, Natalie bakes up and sculpts the adorable, albeit exploding child.
Apologies to the kids with unorthodox first names, who could never find their sticker. Here, have some cake.
Sure, you could slap a horn and pastels on virtually anything, and it immediately becomes unicorn-themed. But, what if unicorning our food wasn’t so glamorous, and our magical animal was nothing more than a pudgy cake-eater?
The Fat Unicorn Cake tries to answer this question — complete with pinks, purples and our horned beast. However, this unicorn got a bit over-indulgent, feasted on its own cake, and is now too stuffed to move.
Not so magical now, are you, fat unicorn? It’s OK, we’ve all been there.

Ketchup is wonderful. Mustard, when used correctly, can be even better. As of now, the two condiments managed to coexist, doing their own thing. That was until they were merged into a cake.
Ketchup and Mustard Cake is the unfortunate joining of two condiments, that may or may not haunt your dreams. Brought to us by Shared Food, the baking experiment uses actual ketchup and mustard. The result… something that looks like a cross between a high school archaeology project, and a birthday cake from McDonald’s.
Watch the “how to” below, if you dare. Let us know how far you get.
If you’ve ever had to replace a printer’s ink cartridges, then you know that almost everything is printed using a combination or four colors — cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
What you may not realize is that most colors can be achieved with only C, M and Y — even black, according to students Arnold Bakshayev and Alona Massasa.
To reinforce this point, they’ve created CMY is The New Black — a print ad consisting of a CMYK cake that uses no black. Although some designers, this one included, would argue that a true black cannot be achieved with only three cartridges, the cake does look pretty awesome. Either way, you’ll still need to have black ink at all times, or your printer won’t work anyway.
