Sunday Sweets: Comic Con Relief

As you may know, the San Diego Comic Con has been taking over the interwebs this weekend with its superhero spandex and glorious geekery. Now, John and I are not at Comic Con, but in its honor, here are some Sweets to help you get your geek on.

Submitted by Christine C., & made by the amazing Courtney of Cake Nouveau

I hear this thing's so much bigger on the inside, it can feed thousands.

Sub'd by Eleri H., & made by Kierra Windsong

Um. I've never played Myst before. So...ah...hey! Cool little traffic cones!

One thing about Comic Con: they always debut the latest video games there.

I hear this one really steps it up.

Here's something you usually only see at conventions: multiples of the same sexy female character.

Sub'd by Clem B., baker unknown

And you thought it was going to be a slave Leia cake.

Lots of Mad Hatters running around this year:

Sub'd by Michael S., made by Cake and Art Bakery

Check it out: that is ALL icing - no fondant! Who knew? It CAN be done!

This character is a real con regular - not to mention a regular con:

Submitted & made by Ammar M., a baker in Pakistan!

Again, fondant-free. It's so cool when artists paint with icing.

Zombies tend to crop up a lot at conventions, too. Must be all the big brains there. ;)

Made by Michael L. and his wife. Progress pics at the link.

This is a wedding cake. A zombie wedding cake.

See?

You're welcome.

If that looks familiar, it's probably reminding you of this famous zombie wedding cake:

This is CW reader Noble R.'s wedding cake, made by Mike's Amazing Cakes

Admit it: the fact that there are now multiple zombie wedding cakes in the world is kind of awesome.

Then there's the Anime cosplay:

Sub'd by Katy, made by Signature Sugar Art

Now that's using your head.

Also, note how appropriate it is that I put the brain/head cake *after* the zombies. Eh?

And lastly, do you think this is an ice cream cake?

Sub'd by Corey, made by Charm City Cakes (aka Ace of Cakes)

You know, 'cuz he's frozen?

Yes? No? Is that groan a "yes?"

Me: "I love cake!"

John: "I know."

Have a Sweet to nominate? Then send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.

Ooh, TARDIS cake! Love it when Doctor Who pops up CW! Maybe one day we'll see a Doctor Who wedding cake? Maybe it'll be mine . . . Hmmm...

[Jen]

You have no idea how upset I am that the passes to Comicon sold out before I even knew they were available. D; And then everyone's talking about it this year.

[Arlene]

Wow that frozen Han is amazing. Lol it would be great if that was an ice cream cake. Too much to hope for I bet. All of those look fantastic!

[SarahJ]

Oh Myst! I once stayed up the whole night playing Riven (sequel to Myst)and the fact I just couldn't get past the one gate thing still haunts me. I had everything right, I worked it all out...Why wouldn't it let me through? Why? Why? *whimper*

[Anonymous]

My vote's for the Tardis too, more due to be a lifelong Dr Who fan. It looks a bit too new to have been up to much time travelling - perhaps it belonged to the first Doctor? The Han Solo cake is awesome.

[Donna]

MMMMMMM...the only thing that would make the Han Solo cake better is if Harrison Ford jumped out of it!

[Anonymous]

Hi! Yep, the Marge cake is from SweetArt (creator of the oh-so-fabulous Barbie Cake). I remember gawking at it in the window on Oxford Street, Sydney! I'm so thrilled to have seen a Sunday Sweet in the err... flesh?/frosting?/fondant?
Love your work Jen!

[LeighaM]

Love, Love, Love the Tardis cake!!

And I now want a zombie wedding cake....

[Ang and Mike]

um, has anyone else noticed the Han Solo cake seems to need a little censor bar? not that i squinted and moved closer to the screen or anything...

[Eleri Hamilton]

Yer Welcome, Kierra, it was an awesomely nommy cake. And no, those aren't the polymer cones, they're fondant. I know, cause I saved one and it is sitting right here on my bookshelf :)

[Luneowl]

Oh man, that Uru cake takes me back! I was one of the beta testers for the live game. We had to get creative playing with those traffic cones since you couldn't do much else in the public areas.

[Katie]

I recently fell in love with Doctor Who, and the TARDIS cake made me very excited. I'm so nerdy. :D

[little-t]

Thats TARDIS cake is amazing, methinks. I hope it IS bigger on the inside though...
:)

[corey]

just wanted to let everyone know that han in carbonite was indeed our wedding cake! the guys at charm city cakes were super stoked to do it and took a lot of extra care in the details. one detail in particular (ahem). unfortunately, it was not the one featured on the show. bummer. and yes, if you click the link, you get a bit more info on the cake.

thanks again!

Had to send the zombie cakes to a friend of mine. I'm sure that's what he would have wanted for his wedding if his wife would have let him. :)

[Terra]

I WANT THAT NARUTO CAKE!! BELIEVE IT!!!

[stephanie j.]

That TARDIS cake is awesome. My birthday is in a few weeks...I'll have to consider that one, because I'm a LOT older than I look :) or is that I'm a lot older on the insider than I feel on the outside, or is it... :)

[Valerie]

OMG - I love that Myst cake! It looks very much like the books they use in game to move to each sector! :)

I love it! :)

[Anonymous]

Love the TARDIS cake!

[Austin]

The TARDIS cake is freakin' awesome!!!

[Cupcakes Lady]

The Mad hatter is a wonderful looking cake. So much detail. xx

[KarateLady's Daughter]

OMG That Myst cake is the bomb! My parents bought the new version on our IPad, and it is, like, THE BEST GAME EVER!! P.S. I'm 13 now, YAY! My birthday party is this weekend. :)
