There are certain days when I just need a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half-Baked frozen yogurt. Mr. Geek knows I mean business when I sit down with the pint and a spoon–I won’t be sharing. So when those days come where I don’t finish a pint in one sitting, this lock will come in handy. Alternatively, if you’re trying to avoid ice cream for a couple days, let your partner or roommate set the code for you. It beats ordinary willpower!

It’s good to know that baked goods created from pure evil still use sprinkles.
What’s your bake sale go-to?
Make breakfast and dessert a bit more interesting with this edible furniture mold. You can create scenes, “decorate” furniture with food coloring, syrups, and icing, or top cupcakes with furniture for a housewarming party!
The molds are created by Sapore dei Mobili, and although I don’t think they’re currently for sale, if you’re in the Milan area you can check them out in person. While you’re there, tell them to create a miniature people collection. I want to play D&D with cake–it would make killing minions so delicious!
I love Dippin Dots. It’s ice cream that makes you feel like an astronaut while eating it. How can you get any cooler?
This Dippin Dots maker will allow you to make your own at home, instead of tracking down a lone kiosk in an abandoned mall. I am confused as to why this is only being marketed to children, because I want it right now. It uses mixes or fruit juice to make an at-home treat, and it’s only $26.31. Consider me sold.

This R2D2 cake, complete with sounds, is AMAZING. Check out the video below to find out how Stacked Cakes made it:
Star Wars has never looked more delicious. Visit Stacked Cakes to see more cake-spiration, including an amazing edible Dalek. I’d exterminate that.

People thought they were crazy when they came out with a bacon syrup, but this new flavor from Torani may take the cake.
Bacon I could understand. But Chicken n’ Waffles? What can you use this for?
Torani suggests you make the following drink:
“Harlem Jazz Smash”
INGREDIENTS
¼ oz. Torani Chicken n’ Waffles Syrup
1 barspoon honey
2 peach wedges
1 ½ oz. Jack Daniels
2 dashes peach bitters
INSTRUCTIONS
Muddle peach wedges in Torani and honey. Add bitters and Jack Daniels, fill with ice. Stir well and garnish with a butter waffle cookie balanced on the rim.
Ok, I guess that does sound kind of good. Would you purchase Chicken n’ Waffles syrup? What would you make with it?
The syrup will be available starting in April, unless it’s revealed to be a long April Fool’s Day joke.
EDIT: As I joked above, it looks like this product was in fact an April Fool’s Day joke that started too early. Never fear, their bacon syrup is still real.
Despite my best efforts, my body has chosen to get sick on the eve of two weeks of conventions. I’m resting up and drinking tons of liquids, but I know I would be getting better more quickly if I had these Sherlock-inspired teas.
Made by adagio teas and blended by Cara McGee, each tea captures the personality of a different character from the BBC show. As the site says, “Whether your favorite character is Mycroft (cake!), Sherlock (smoke and mystery) or Moriarty (a bit insane and guaranteed to burn the heart of you if you’re not careful), you’ll hopefully find a blend to suit your taste.”
Teas, $10 for a 3 oz pouch at adagio.com.
I picked up a dozen cupcakes from Trophy for my Hunger Games Pre-Party last night, and was thrilled to go “behind-the-scenes” to learn how to decorate the cupcakes with the founder, Jennifer. Check it out!

It’s the first day of Spring, and dreams of sunny picnics and lazy afternoon tea parties have entered my head. Little sandwiches are a go-to at both of these events, but it’s best to avoid the cliche triangles, circles, and squares. Dress your sandwiches up with these fun sandwich cutters!
