Swedish Chef Worthy Muppet Treats

There’s a lot to talk about food in the Muppets world. Sometimes the food can even talk, sing, and move like sentient beings. Even if they’re baked goods and vegetables. Really. Same goes when it comes to Sesame Street, especially when they’re trying to get kids to eat healthy. Don’t ask. Also, Hooper’s Store and Charlie’s are among Sesame Street’s premiere eating places. One serves as a resident hangout. The other is where Grover works as a waiter since he has ultimate job security despite massively sucking at customer service skills. I mean there was a sketch he basically ordered 6 cakes for a birthday party because he didn’t realize that the guests were referring to one person. Seriously. And that bald blue-headed customer is always complaining about him. On the Muppet Show we have the one and only Swedish Chef whose culinary endeavors always lead to some kind of cooking catastrophe. These include a turtle aiming at him with tank guns, being held up at gunpoint by lobsters, being attacked by spaghetti, being chased by a chicken wielding a cleaver, and more. He also uses a lot of unconventional kitchen implements like battle axes, blunderbusses, chainsaws, bazookas, and more. Off-screen, you’ll find plenty of Muppet treats out there mostly made for parties. So for your reading pleasure I give you a treasure trove of delectable Muppet treats. Enjoy.

For a Rainbow Connection cake, this one of Kermit is perfect.

Of course, the rainbow in this cake is in the inside. Because that’s the side that really counts.

2. These Sesame Street chocolates make it fun to learn your ABCs.

By the way, these are professionally made. But you wouldn’t mind putting this cuteness in your mouth.

3. If you love the Muppets, then take a look at this cake.

It’s a cake of the Muppets onstage at the Muppet theater. You know where they do the show.

4. This buttercream Beaker cake is a wondrous breakthrough in pastry creation.

Compared to some of the cakes you’ll see here, this seems relatively easy. Mostly because Beaker has identifiable features and his shape.

5. These Muppet bento lunches are a healthy treat.

These lunches consist of Kermit fruit snacks, Animal salad, and a Miss Piggy sandwich. So cute.

6. A Beaker twinkie makes a great tasty snack.

This one even has him screaming with icing. Also, like Beaker, the twinkie probably has a lot of artificial preservatives by now.

7. Nothing makes a party a hit like these Muppet Show cookies.

Sure they may be professionally made. But they include all your favorites. Well, they should.

8. This Miss Piggy bento lunch is sow fabulous.

It consists of a sandwich with pasta hair. Also bread ears and snout. But it surely resembles her.

9. Might want to take a bite out of this Electric Mayhem bus cake.

You might’ve seen the bus in the Muppet Movie. Also, I think the Electric Mayhem may be on the other side.

10. Seems like the Swedish Chef is on top of the pots with this cake.

Well, pots and pans. And they're all on top of an active burner. Love it.

Well, pots and pans. And they’re all on top of an active burner. Hope he doesn’t get, burnt, burnt, burnt.

11. This Muppet theater cake is simply a spectacle.

Yes, I know it’s another Muppet Theater cake. But this one even has boxes for Statler and Waldorf. Also the Muppets are in action.

12. Now that has to be a stellar Muppet cake display.

I think this might be for a wedding. Yet, the serving display has tiers featuring cupcakes of your favorite Muppet characters.

13. This Cookie Monster cake shows the lovable blue monster in cookie heaven.

Yes, Cookie Monster is in the cookie jar with his chocolate chip cookies. Hope he doesn’t overdo it.

14. This Elmo pizza is pure lunch time fun.

Unlike in most pizzas, the sauce goes over the cheese. Yet at least the got his smile right.

15. If you’re hungry on the go, make it a Beaker wrap.

At least you don’t have to put this in the oven. It even has carrot hair and a guacamole shirt and olive tie.

16. This cake is about as trashy as Oscar the Grouch likes it.

Strangely it has a recycling symbol on it. But it has a lot of crap that Oscar will think as a fitting tribute to him.

17. If you like peanut butter, these Fozzie Bear cookies will make you say, “Wocka, Wocka.”

They’re just peanut butter cookies shaped like Fozzie and decorated in his likeness. What more can you ask for?

18. As you may know, it’s not easy being the Green Lantern.

This cake has Kermit the Frog as the Green Lantern. Because being green kind of suits him. After all, he’s a frog.

19. If you’re not into superheroes, this Kermit cake will do.

It just has Kermit being his laid back self. Not minding anyone’s business but his own.

20. For more healthy options, try this Kermit fruit snack.

This Kermit has an apple head, a celery neck, and a beet mouth. But it’s a real good likeness.

21. Looks like Cookie Monster couldn’t resist what was in the cookie jar.

No wonder they have Sesame Street skits in which he has to learn self-control. Only to forget it shortly after. Because he’s Cookie Monster.

22. For lunch, this Swedish Chef sandwich will make you say, “Bork, Bork, Bork!”

Has a bread face with bread crust beard and eyebrows. But his hat is made from tortilla. Enjoy.

23. How would you like Animal to burst from the drum cake?

After all, Animal plays the drums. Guess this is for a kid’s 10th birthday. Fair enough.

24. Speaking of Animal, this Electric Mayhem cake rocks.

And they all seem to be tired after a show on the road. Then again, this group was modeled after 1960s and 1970s rock bands.

25. These Cookie Monster cupcakes look good enough to eat.

I especially like hoe they have cookies coming out of his mouth. That’s very ingenious and touching to everyone’s favorite junk food hound.

26. How about a cake of Gonzo the Great?

You know the daredevil with a chicken fetish. Don’t worry, his relationship with Camilla is of mutual love and respect.

27. For the curmudgeon who has nothing nice to say, you might want to celebrate their birthday with a cake of Statler and Waldorf.

Sure Statler and Waldorf are mean old men. But at least their insults are always PG rated. Gotta love these guys.

28. For Muppet Show lovers, this is a great cake for you.

After all, this shows how the Muppets are introduced. Even Statler and Waldorf who are usually in the audience.

29. Nothing makes a great Sesame Street party like these fruit platters.

This has a kiwi Oscar, a pineapple Bert, a watermelon Elmo, and an orange Ernie. Well, at least those are the prominent fruits on their trays.

30. These Kermit rainbow fruit kabobs will help kids establish a healthy rainbow connection.

This one has Kermit as an apple centerpiece. But it’s still a delightful Muppet platter.

31. For growing brains, this Sesame Street lunch makes learning fun.

This one includes rice balls of Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, and Cookie Monster. And they’re surrounded by salad.

32. Cookie Monster fudge makes a delectable dessert to violently gorge for.

These are in light blue and have cookies in them. Cookie Monster would be touched.

33. No one could resist this Muppet toy box cake.

This one only consists of the main Muppets along with Elmo and Cookie Monster. But it’s nonetheless adorable.

34. A singing Kermit under a rainbow always makes a great cake.

Like how it says, “Life is fun when you’re having flies!” Well, to a frog. To a human not so much.

35. Hope this bento lunch doesn’t make you grouchy.

Nice Oscar consists of a salad of leafy greens. Slimey even has his own trash can.

36. If you like Fozzie Bear, then these Rice Krispie treats will suit your fancy.

These seem to resemble him more than the peanut butter cookies. Like the icing face though.

37. Speaking of Rice Krispie treats, you can’t resist these ones from Sesame Street.

Includes Cookie Monster, Oscar, and Elmo. Each has a cookie mouth. Though Elmo and Oscar have Oreo for black.

38. This Kermit might remind an old frog of home.

After all, Kermit is a swamp frog from the American South. So playing a banjo makes sense though he doesn’t have an accent.

39. Help yourself to some Animal pasta salad.

Well, it’s the only kind of pasta with pink noodles. Just to match Animal’s fur.

40. For lunch time delights, this Swedish Chef bento has all the trimmings.

This one includes a Swedish Chef sandwich and chicken eggs. Seems he wants to cook them both.

41. This Piggy pasta salad will make you go hog wild.

Doesn’t hurt it includes ham. Or does it? Like how they used noodles for her hair though.

42. If you liked the Dark Crystal, take a look at this cake.

It’s one of those cult movies that feature Muppets in high fantasy. But I include this since it’s part of Jim Henson’s repertoire.

43. Swedish Chef fans would appreciate a cake of the cook in his kitchen.

Of course, the Swedish Chef’s kitchen environment makes Gordon Ramsay’s look tame. Then again, I’m sure if constant insults is better than a turtle shell tank or armed lobsters.

44. These Muppet bon bons are a small delight.

They’re all just sitting up around a candy. Not sure if they’re cakes. But these are cute.

45. A Sesame Street lunch like this is great for sunny days.

Seems of the bento box variety. Yet, though Ernie is made from rice, Bert is made from corn. Like the flowers, too.

46. No dessert platter is complete without these Muppet cake pops.

Includes Beaker, Fozzie, Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Rowlf. And I hope each one has a chocolate center.

47. No one can resist the sight of Gonzo eyeing spaghetti.

Yes, you have to look at Gonzo’s big eyes as he holds up a knife and fork. Adorable.

48. Learn letters and numbers with these Sesame Street cake pops.

Includes Oscar, Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Big Bird. And each looks good enough to eat.

49. Fans of Fraggle Rock will fall in love with this cake.

For a show that came in the 1980s, it has a strange pop culture presence to this day. Yet, I’m not familiar with it.

50. For appetizers, these Sesame Street snack platters shall serve you well.

There’s broccoli Oscar, strawberry Elmo, blueberry Cookie Monster, and cheddar cheese Big Bird. Like how Big Bird’s nose is made from Ritz crackers.

51. No Muppet party is complete without a Scooter cheese ball.

Like how his hair is made from baby carrots. And how his glasses are made from cucumber slices.

52. This Muppet totem pole cake will make your party tops.

Not sure about the concept behind this. But I think it’s quite original to say the least.

53. These Sesame Street cupcakes are a tasty treat.

I’m sure these are professionally made with the detail. But these do consist on some of the best characters save for the Count.

54. There’s nothing healthier for a midday meal than a Beaker sandwich.

Helps it has a lot of fruit and veggies in it. Not sure about the shaved orange nose though.

55. No child can ever resist the Elmo bento lunch.

Well, if they’re pre-schoolers, anyway. Still, like how it has 2 small buns. Adorable.

56. If you liked Rowlf the Dog, then this is the cake for you.

Here he is at a white piano and in a white suit. But he’s still typical Rowlf.

57. Fraggle Rock fans will find these cupcakes delightful.

Once again, I’m just including this to pander. Because I’m not familiar with Fraggle Rock which aired in the 1980s.

58. For Sesame Street fans, a cake like this is simply whimsical.

Of course, this isn’t a cake you’d see at most kids’ birthdays. Unless their parents are in the 1%.

59. These Kermit and Fozzie lunches are great midday delights.

Nice that Kermit’s has a rainbow for “Rainbow Connection.” Fozzie’s is barely recognizable.

60. Grace your dessert platter with this Ernie and Bert bed cake.

Boy, would some people on the Christian Right go nuts on this one. Though Bert and Ernie usually sleep in separate beds.

Boy, would some people on the Christian Right go nuts on this one. Though Bert and Ernie usually sleep in separate twin beds with their names on them.

61. Wake up in the morning to some Kermit pancakes.

Doesn’t necessarily resemble Kermit. But, hey, it’s not easy being green.

62. For a more Latin flair, try a Kermit quesadilla.

However, if you live in the US, proceed to try one with caution south of the border. Since it might make you turn green. No offense, Mexico.

63. These Muppet cupcakes are surely just desserts.

Of course, you can’t help but love these. But each cupcake is unique in its own way.

64. For baby showers, a cake with Bunsen and Beaker is none too shabby.

Though babies are much easier than any of their inventions. At least they don’t have mechanical glitches that lead to Beaker getting hurt all the time.

65. Raise healthy kids with these Sesame Street fruit snacks.

Includes, Ernie, Bert, and Elmo. Not sure about Elmo having kiwi eyes. Makes him look like a loon.

66. This Elmo spaghetti is always a hit with the little ones.

Doesn’t hurt that Elmo’s face can be done on top of tomato sauce. Like the olive mouth.

67. This Kermit bento lunch is fit for any amphibian.

Includes Kermit’s face on an apple as well as some pasta for the background. Not to mention, cheese.

68. These Muppet cookies each have a different color.

Sure they may be professionally made. But each has some degree of character. Like the Swedish Chef’s having a food border.

69. These Ernie and Bert cake pops simply belong together.

Yet, both seem to have noses the same color as their skin. On the show Bert has an orange nose while Ernie has a red one.

70. No one can resist these delectable Sesame Street cupcakes.

Almost each of these has an Oreo mouth. Included are Oscar, the Count, Bert, Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird.

71. This Bunsen and Beaker cake is a work of genius.

After all, it includes elements from the Periodic Table as well as atomic structures. Perfect for science geeks.

72. This Muppet cake is a strip of many colors.

Well, it’s not exactly a rainbow. But it’s quite cool to behold.

73. This burning Beaker cake is explosively fun.

Unless you’re Beaker. Because you know what usually happens to him at Muppet Labs.

74. With a cake like this, you’d almost think Kermit is carried away.

Well, it features Kermit with a bunch of other Muppet balloons. By the way, there’s a 3D version of this one.

75. Seemed like something spilled on this cake.

This one might be a wedding cake from how I can tell Kermit and Miss Piggy are dressed. Also, what’s with the strawberries?

76. These Cookie Monster cake pops should make a fine addition to any dessert platter.

Like how these have a cookie stuck in his mouth. That’s just so perfect.

77. For Muppet cakes, you might consider a customized option.

After all, this Muppet girl is just a Muppet girl. Don’t remember seeing her from any Jim Henson franchise.

78. This Muppet Rushmore cake seems almost set in stone.

Well, it’s a Muppet Mount Rushmore one. Never seen anything like that before.

79. A cake like this is bound to take anyone to the air.

You see I was right about the 3D version. But I’m not sure how making a cake like this is plausible.

80. For Sesame Street parties, you can’t go wrong with Oscar’s trash cans.

It’s basically chocolate pudding with Oreos on top. Still, these are very creative if you ask me.

81. This Big Bird lunch is anything to chirp about.

Best served with a birdseed milkshake as Big Bird would’ve preferred. Cute.

82. Grace your dessert platter with these unique Sesame Street cupcakes.

Another set of expensive pastries done by professionals. But their icing sculptures are worth noting.

83. Seems like Kermit’s notes have character.

Took me awhile to figure this cake out. But once I realized these were music notes, it seemed to make more sense.

84. These food faces of Bert and Ernie bring all smiles.

Not sure if these are for eating. But I like how Bert has the top of a pineapple as hair. The licorice lips are also clever.

85. This Cookie Monster Macaroon will make you go nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.

Has sugar sprinkles on for super fuzziness. Like how he has the cookie in his mouth. Brilliant.

86. With these Kermit cupcakes, the eyes have it.

If you want Constantine cupcakes, all you have to do is put a chocolate chip on it. Still, like the marshmallow frog eyes.

87. Even Cookie Monster would adore these Sesame Street cookies.

Yes, they may be made from a bakery. But they have letters and numbers as well as characters. These are adorable.

88. If you’re more into chocolate, these Sesame Street brownie bites should do nicely.

Includes Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Bert. And each brownie has its own cup.

89. A Beaker cookie pop is a treat for the future.

Well, he has nice pretzel hair in orange icing. Not sure what the cookie is underneath.

90. If you like Cookie Monster, then you’ll like these Oreos.

These consist of a cookie covered in icing eating another cookie. What more can you ask for. Love it.

91. Don’t look now, but Cookie Monster is eating the cookie cake!

Don’t worry, this is part of the cake. However, if it was real, Cookie Monster would probably reduce it to crumbs.

92. This Kermit fruit tray gives you a healthy rainbow connection.

Since he’s the one who sings about rainbows in the Muppet Movie. But his head always has to be in the center.

93. If you like fuzzy red monsters, then you’ll adore this Elmo cake.

Even has Elmo near the presents. Certainly a birthday cake for a little kid. So cute.

94. This Sesame Street cake comes stacked.

Has Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Elmo tiers. But Oscar the Grouch is on top.

95. This Big Bird cake will surely have you tickled yellow.

Well, Big Bird is the face of Sesame Street. Yet, here he is with his legs spread out to wish someone a happy birthday.

96. Speaking of Big Bird, here he is receiving a cake from Prairie Dawn.

I think this was featured in a show on the Food Network. Still, Big Bird looks so lifelike here.

97. Make a super birthday super great with this Super Grover cake.

Sure Super Grover doesn’t beat up any bad guys or save the day. But he’s super cute so that should count.

98. A Miss Piggy cake should always bring out one’s inner glamorpuss.

This might be derived from a photo of her in a black dress. But yes, she’s sow fabulous.

99. Animal fans would love seeing a cake of him at his drum set.

After all, Animal is the drummer for the Electric Mayhem. Though off-stage he’s a real animal.

100. For a Muppet wedding cake, the whole gang has got to be there.

Gold Medal Winning Olympic Treats

While the Super Bowl might be the biggest sporting event in America, there’s no bigger athletic event in the world than the Olympic Games save maybe the FIFA World Cup. But the US is more or less interested in the women’s tournament while the rest of the world would rather watch the men’s. This year we have the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Brazil which is turning out to be kind of a shit hole with Zika, crime, pollution, corruption, and well, it’s a mess. A real mess. You kind of wish it was like 2012 when they had it in London. Oh, wait now they have the Brexit going on which really is screwing everything up. And their Prime Minister has resigned. Seriously, Brits, the the hell were you guys thinking? Or perhaps like the Winter Olympics back in Sochi during 2014. Oh, I forgot, their track team’s been banned for steroid use and there’s been a major cover up over doping there. Why am I not surprised? Because sports is full of it. Nevertheless, people have a tendency to hold Olympic parties which is only fair since some people take this occasion more seriously than others. Yet chances are you’ll find plenty of Olympic themed treats on Pinterest if you know where to look. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a championship worthy assortment of Olympic treats.

The sweetest thing about Sochi were these cookies.

Must be professionally made. But they are so detailed in the icing.

And like the rings, they’re in 5 different colors. Makes a great champion addition to an Olympic dessert platter.

7. This Olympic season, have your smores torched.

Well, these are brownie smores that use ice cream cones. But they sure looked torched all right.

Each one is a ring of 5 different colors. Wonder if they go along with 5 different color syrups, too.

9. For the Olympics, each country has its own pizza.

Of course, these aren’t all. But each is according to their flag. Notice that Britain, France, the US, and Japan are on here multiple times.

10. These cookies are pure Olympic gold.

Doesn’t hurt that they’re attached to ribbons, too. But unlike real Olympic gold, you can eat them.

11. These Olympic cookies will keep you going.

Yes, these are Olympic shoe cookies. And they seem to be professionally made. But they’re great nonetheless.

Each Olympic ring on this toast is of a fruit or veggie. And it’s all on top of cream cheese.

Each ring is in 5 different colors. And each pop is decorated in its own way.

15. Grace your dessert platter with this Olympic cake.

This one even has an ice cream cone as a torch. Wonder how many cake pans it took to make that.

16. This pizza was made with some Olympic quality pepperoni.

Hopefully, none of contains any trace of human growth hormone. But I’m not sure. Still, like the pepperoni rings.

17. For Olympic cakes, this one goes for the gold medal.

This was made for the London 2012 Olympics. But you have to like the medals and torch at the top.

18. On your Olympic dessert platter, these weights are a real treat.

Made with chocolate pretzel sticks, shortbread cookies, and lifesavers. Easier to make than lifting big weights in the weightlifting competition.

19. For a winning breakfast, lunch, or brunch, get a taste of these Olympic bagel rings.

These have cream cheese with a different color sauce. Not sure which ones they are besides ketchup and mustard for the red and yellow.

20. These Olympic Oreo pops are great for any athlete’s just desserts.

Comes in 5 different colors as you see. But none of them are hollowed which is fine by me.

21. For summer Olympic fun, these cookies are just the ticket.

This one was also made for the 2012 London Olympic Games. And by professionals, no doubt. Like the sport silhouettes though.

22. This Olympic pretzel is a snack for the ages.

Like how the rings on this one are of 5 different colors and linked. Wonder if it’s something I want to try.

Contains fruits and veggies as well as includes an ice cream cone. So what’s not to love?

26. Any Olympic swimmer is bound to enjoy a dessert like this.

Yes, I know it’s of another Olympic swimming pool. But it’s a great cake design if you can call it that.

27. Each Olympic fruit or veggie should come with its own dip.

Consists of blueberries, black olives, cherry tomatoes, yellow peppers, and celery. And yes, they’re all arranged in rings. A winning Olympic veggie tray.

28. Nothing makes a prize winning dessert platter great than Olympic ring cookies.

Each are arranged to their color. And yes, they’re from 2012. Quite creative in my book.

29. With this cake, you get gold, silver, and bronze.

Because that’s what they give out to the 3 best in every Olympic competition. But everyone tends to go for gold.

30. These Olympic flag cookies are the desserts of champions.

And each ring is represented by an M&M. Shouldn’t be hard to decorate at all.

31. May these torch cupcakes keep your Olympic party bright.

Despite that the torch is an Olympic symbol, the ancient Greeks didn’t have Olympic torch relays. Their other sporting events did though.

32. Olympic ring cookies will surely delight any champion.

These are professionally made. But I had to include them on this Olympic treat post.

These cookies use icing rings that were delicately applied. Nevertheless, they’re quite lovely.

36. Nothing makes your Olympic dessert platter worthy of the gold than these cake pops.

Each of these is decorated in support of Team USA and in it’s own way. Also seem to come in a bucket.

Laurel wreaths are another Olympic symbol. Because they were once prizes given to Greek Olympic winners back in ancient times.

38. These cookies have Olympic fever all over the icing.

Some of these even feature sports in Olympic colors. Also include torches and Olympic flags, too.

39. At any Olympic party, you’d want to have international representation on the dessert platter.

Assuming the flags are of a country you know and a flag that’s easy to translate through icing on a graham cracker. If not, then that country is out of luck.

40. A veggie Olympic pizza has international variety.

However, since it has no tomato sauce and cheese, the term “pizza” is applied very loosely here. But at least it uses a different veggie for each ring.

41. For healthy options, this Olympic bento aims to please.

Helps that it has Olympic fruit rings. Adorable if you think about it.

42. I present to you now Rice Krispie Olympic ring treats.

Didn’t know these were even possible. Then again, never say never.

43. At any bakery contest, this dessert is bound for Olympic gold.

Guess it’s a cake of Olympic rings. And each one is over a delicious interior of chocolaty goodness.

44. These Olympic cupcakes are here to support Team USA.

46. These cookies may not be gold but they still taste of victory.

Yes, I showed Olympic medal cookies before on this post. But these have Olympic rings on them. That’s different.

47. Guess you’ve never heard of a popcorn torch.

48. This Olympic bento is sure to capture the winning spirit.

Well, it has a weighted dessert and a cheesy torch sandwich. But some kid is going to love it.

49. For any Olympic party, this pizza is the food of medal winning champions.

The blue ring doesn’t look right. But to be fair, there’s not a lot of blue things you can put on a pizza.

50. A cake like this possesses great Olympic spirit.

It’s smaller than the other one. It also supports Team USA as you can see.

51. A bento lunch like this is perfect for any Olympic swimmer.

This one even has veggie rings as well as pepper swimmers in rice. Very creative if you ask me.

This one even has veggie rings as well as pepper swimmers in dip. Very creative if you ask me.

52. If popcorn torches aren’t your think, you can always go with a Cheeto flame.

Of course, eating it might make you look like Donald Trump for awhile. But I’m sure people might like it as a snack.

53. If you want to eat better, these Olympic fruit rings might suit you.

At least you can have fruits for each different color. That’s not the case with veggies.

54. These medal cookies make a winning dessert platter for any Olympic party.

Sprinkles available in gold, silver, and bronze. Medals aren’t edible though.

55. Many people at your party may view these Olympic cupcakes as a real treat.

Unlike the other cupcakes, these use cake toppers. Still pretty neat though.

56. No one can ever resist these torch cupcakes.

These have cupcake filling in them with torch icing on top. Some of them even have flags, too.

57. Speaking of rings, you can’t exclude Olympic donuts.

They may not be healthy for you. But at least they’re in Olympic colors and resemble bright rings.

58. For young champions, you can’t do wrong with this torch breakfast.

Has a pancake receptacle and a flame of eggs. Also contains Olympic Froot Loop rings as well.

59. These bagels are part of a fruit filled Olympic breakfast.

Well, these seem like a healthy way to start one’s day. Of course, each one has a different color fruit.

60. These open faced Olympic sandwiches are sure to be golden.

Can’t believe you can make so many Olympic treats with bagels. Must be the bagel’s shape, I guess.

61. I guess this cake will make a winning medal platform at any Olympic party.

This one was made for the London games in 2012. But it has an original concept. So it goes in.

62. For fruit, each has to be arranged in its own ring.

I guess this one uses a certain dish for them, too. How ingenious if you think about it.

63. These torch cupcakes will make a great dessert for champions.

Unlike the ones I previously shown, these use a different cone and have candy flames. Not sure if that looks better or not.

64. All these Olympic ring cookies are decorated with are icing and jelly beans.

I hate jelly beans. But these are quite unique. So they go in the post.

65. A medal winning Olympic gymnast should always have a cake like this.

This one is for the balance beam from Team USA. It’s professionally made. But it’s cute.

66. These chocolate brownies would certainly take the gold at any Olympic party.

Doesn’t hurt that this dish is decorated with M&Ms. So lovely and tasty.

67. Any winning Olympic team is bound to enjoy sugar cookie rings like these together.

I know this had to be a delicate shape to muster. But somehow this baker pulled it off.

68. Now this is the kind of cake to have at your Olympics party during the Games.

This was made in 2010 for the Vancouver Winter Games. But it’s just as good for my post anyway.

69. These Olympic Rice Krispie treats come with 5 Olympic layers.

That’s unique. Never seen treats like that before. Like the layers on them.

70. This Olympic cake is decorated with rings of fruit.

Not sure if it’s easier to make. But at least on the surface, it’s healthier than some of the others.

71. For these Olympic sugar cookies, no icing is needed.

These just need M&Ms as decoration. For each cookie, one of each color will do.

72. Perhaps a pizza might go well with Olympic onion rings.

This has to be professionally made. But at least this is in a pie shape though.

73. I guess this is what makes a complete Olympic breakfast for champions.

This one includes a torch and fruit bagels. Same egg flame though.

74. This Olympic dessert was made possible by Hostess and M&Ms.

Because they consist of Hostess cupcakes decorated with M&Ms as rings. Pretty clever and adorable, too.

75. These open face sandwiches are befitting of any Olympic lunch.

And each one tries to correspond with their ring color. I’m sure some of them will make a mess.

76. Victory can’t simply be sweeter without these Olympic ring macaroons.

These might not have much to them. But you have to like how they interlock with each other.

77. There’s no breakfast like an Olympic pancake breakfast.

This one has 5 pancakes with butter and syrup. Not recommended for those with cardiac issues.

78. Guess this is a great way to wish anyone a fruity Olympics.

And boy, does it have a lot of fruit on it. Not something I could do for sure.

79. This Olympic pizza certainly has a lot of pep to it.

Well, it has 4 kinds of peppers on it anyway. Yet, some of them don’t stand out very well.

80. I’m sure this makes a great Olympic platter for champions.

And it even has the dip in the middle. Of course, the black and blue don’t have food that matches their colors. But that’s fine.

Salute the Red, White, and Blue United States of America with These Patriotic 4th of July Treats (Second Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 20, 2016

With Father’s Day being over, I can now proceed to 4th of July. For me as a blogger, the 4th of July is usually an odd one out since it takes place in the summer while other major holidays fall around during the fall, winter, and early spring. As far as Americans are concerned, the 4th of July is denotes the day in 1776 when the United States (then 13 colonies) officially severed ties with Great Britain during the American Revolution. However, the Brits might beg to differ on this account since the US was still a British possession as far as they’re concerned. Anyway, last year I did a treat post on 4th of July along with a series of Declaration of Independence signers and it was a measurable success. So I decided to do another one for the occasion mostly because the treat posts tend to be so popular for other holidays, too. Thus, expect a lot of treats to be in the red, white, and blue because they are the colors of the American flag. I’ll also have other ones coming up which are related to crafts and so forth. So we hold ourselves to be self-evident that all men are created equal and I want you to enjoy these patriotic 4th of July treats for your star spangled reading pleasure.

There’s no better way for a cake lover to show patriotic pride than with a mini cupcake American flag.

Notice how the sprinkles stand in for stars. Wonder how long it took to decorate this.

2. Nothing makes better 4th of July candy than patriotic gumdrop stars.

I’m not a fan of gumdrops. But since these are red, white, and blue stars, they go on this post.

3. Any American kid will certainly love these edible firework treats.

Includes Rice Krispie treats with marshmallows on them. Well, marshmallows with red icing on them anyway.

4. Snap, crackle, and pop this 4th of July with this Rice Krispie treat American flag.

Covered with blue and red M&Ms for a more patriotic measure. What more is there about this to love?

5. For more healthy patriotic options, these flag fruit kabobs are just the American ticket.

Yes, I put some flag fruit kabobs on my last 4th of July treat post. But these have raspberries and cheese.

6. It’s not a 4th of July trifle without some cake stars and whipped cream.

Well, I’ve had trifles in my last 4th of July treat post last year. But not with stars inside like in this one.

7. There’s no dessert better for a patriotic basket than these cookies.

Includes a flag, a flag star, hotdog, hamburger, fireworks, and Uncle Sam. In all, it’s an all-American dessert platter.

8. For sweet treats on the 4th, these lollipops got you covered.

I thought these were popsicles at first. But then I realize they were probably lollipops for cocktails and such.

9. There’s no better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with these star spangled cake pops.

Always have to have some cake pops on these posts. Yet, at least one in this set is of an American flag.

10. This red, white, and blue cheesecake will make a fine addition to any American 4th of July dessert platter.

Sure it only has one star. But come on, the star design is very hard to convert on a flag cake like this.

11. For Rice Krispie star spangled platter, this bowl with treats is at your service.

The bowl contains red, white, and blue in it and so do some of the treats. Also has red, white, and blue Rice Krispie stars.

12. Each of these American flag cups contains something fruity.

Well, something with a strawberry slice or a few blueberries. Still, this is quite creative to say the least.

13. For extra 4th of July fun, kids will surely enjoy these patriotic pinwheel cookies.

Each of these contain red, white, and blue on a stick. But please, don’t try to blow on them. They are for eating.

14. For frozen 4th of July treats, these ice cream sandwiches will do just fine.

These are just ice cream sandwiches with red, white, and blue sprinkles. Not that hard to do if you buy the ice cream sandwiches from a store.

15. Have your 4th of July dessert platter squared away with these red, white, and blue jello squares.

Wonder how they managed to get layers on these. Because I know how liquids tend to mix in with one another.

16. If jello treats on your thing, how about a jello dish with a fruity design?

This one has an icing design with blueberries and strawberries. It’s of a 7 pointed star as far as I know. Yet, it also has red, white, and blue layers, too.

17. If you want to celebrate America’s birthday the healthy way, this star spangled fruit salad is for you.

Notice how the scheme is red, white, and blue. Because you can easily pull that off with fruits thanks to blueberries.

18. Grace your patriotic 4th of July dessert platter with this fruit pie.

This is one of the many items I wanted to put in last year but couldn’t. Yet, I’m sure it’s a great star spangled addition to your platter. And is healthy, too.

19. For a real patriotic kick, try some 4th of July fudge squares.

Well, these are tie dyed fudge squares. But they’re red, white, and blue as well as all American just the same.

20. For a star-spangled lunch or appetizer, these star sandwiches are just the thing.

However, they are best used with white bread since it goes well with the red, white, and blue scheme. These ones also have peanut butter and jelly in them, too.

21. For some Latin and colonial fare, this Betsy Ross dish gives you stripes with salsa.

Nevertheless, contrary to popular belief, Betsy Ross didn’t design the first American flag. That story was made up by her grandchildren. But I think this treat is quite creative if you ask me.

22. No star spangled treat platter is complete without some patriotic pretzels.

This set is red, white, and blue with stars on them. What more can you want. Stars may not be edible though.

23. Show your love for America with these American flag heart cookies.

I’m sure these heart cookies are professionally made due to the star detail. But I’m sure they’re a fine addition to any American 4th of July dessert platter.

24. A trifle like this has the best star spangled banner display on top.

And it doesn’t hurt that the flag is made from strawberries and blue berries. I’m sure that helps tremendously. Another one I wanted to add last year but couldn’t.

25. There’s no fancier patriotic treat this 4th than these patriotic mini parfaits.

These look like small dessert firecrackers. But they’re small parfaits with a patriotic punch.

26. Red and blue jello stars always go great with 4th of July dessert platters.

Sure they may only be in red and blue. But at least you can put one in another on a dish.

27. For large star tarts, white icing and fruit go hand in hand.

This one contains raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Yet, it looks great just the same.

28. A sheet cake flag is always shows patriotic pride when you add some fruit.

Yes, I had one in my 4th of July treat post last year. But this one has raspberries and icing stars on it. So it's different.

Yes, I had one in my 4th of July treat post last year. But this one has raspberry stripes and icing stars on it. So it’s different.

29. For patriotic pancake breakfasts, add some red, white, and blue syrup.

Wonder how you can get that from a store. But it sure gives a syrupy firework burst if you ask me.

30. These cake fireworks push pops certainly have a rocket’s red glare.

These have red and blue cake layers wit h icing as well as shooting star cookies on the top. I’m sure any American kid will like these.

31. These macarons are made with 100% red, white, and blue glory.

Well, they have red and blue sandwiches with white icing. But they’re probably just as sickeningly sweet as macarons are.

32. These jello sundaes are certainly a patriotic summer treat.

Well, these have small jello squares with icing or ice cream. Either way, like the yellow stars on them.

33. You can’t have a 4th of July party without these red, white, and blue Oreos.

Also great for Bastille Day if your French. However, not sure if French people would prefer the light blue though.

34. A 4th of July bundt should be red, white, and blue through and through.

As you see from the slice cross section. Not like the flag one last year. But still has the same colors.

35. For easy firecracker treats, you might want to stick with marshmallows.

These use marshmallow for the white. And they’re decorated with red and blue detail as desired.

36. No star spangled appetizer platter is complete without a patriotic fruit tray.

Even has some stars in the dip. Includes marshmallows,strawberries, and blueberries.

37. A 4th of July gingerbread house is always decorated in red, white, and blue candy.

And they say that the blue roof is quite minty. Yet, the window candies still have wrappers.

38. For more refined patriotic treats, this cheescake tart is just the ticket.

And it seems like it came straight from a recipe book or magazine. Remember that the berries go on top by the way.

39. For a more patriotic chocolaty taste, go with these star brownies.

These have a white drizzle with red, white, and blue drizzle. Also look quite delicious, at least to me.

40. Nothing makes a dessert star spangled banner better than some cookie stars.

Well, sugar cookie stars anyway. I’m sure these are professionally made or made by someone with too much time on their hands.

41. For a great star spangled snack, try these patriotic pretzel sticks.

They have stars on top and stripes on the bottom. What more can you want?

42. For summer fun and American pride, these cookies will make a great addition to any 4th of July dessert platter.

After all, the 4th of July is a summer holiday. And these were certainly made to reflect red, white, and blue glory, too.

43. Cupcakes like these will make your American heart melt with pride.

It helps that some of these even have Captain America shields on them too. Probably professionally made though.

44. Nothing evokes more patriotic pride than this red, white, and blue gingerbread house.

Yes, this is another 4th of July gingerbread house. But this one uses more candy and I couldn’t pass it up.

45. No appetizer captures the spirit of America than red, white, and blue deviled eggs.

Sure I had deviled eggs on last year’s post. But these are of a different configuration entirely. See for yourself.

46. For something unconventionally sweeter for your 4th of July party, these meringue cookies will do nicely.

However, they tend to resemble red, white, and blue garlic cloves to me. But that’s beside the point.

47. Sometimes a great flag sheet cake can be made with both fruit and icing.

Well, we kind of established that. But this takes it to a whole new level. Love the blue part the best.

48. For patriotic pizza lovers, this is a cheese fan’s delight.

Because it’s a flag cheese pizza with mozzarella stick stripes and cheddar stars. And I’m sure it’s quite tasty.

49. For your dessert platter on 4th of July, these flag cookies will sure make a tasty addition.

Didn’t have flag cookies in my 4th of July treat post from last year. But these are kind of cute.

50. This sheet flag cake would make a wonderful star spangled dessert platter centerpiece.

Unlike some sheet cakes on this post, this one is all icing. And it has all the 50 stars, too. Definitely came from a bakery.

51. As far as your guests are concerned, these 4th of July cookies will go off with a bang.

Sure they may be professionally made. But a lot of these tend to consist of fireworks and their sounds.

52. These red, white, and blue donuts are great for any patriotic 4th of July brunch.

Sure they may not be good for you. But they seem quite easy to decorate and someone will find them tasty.

53. For 4th of July candy, these chocolate bars always come with the flag.

Well, the flag is inside. These may be promoted as wedding favors. But I’m just putting them in for parties as well.

54. This fruit pizza surely takes a great stars and stripes shape.

And it doesn’t hurt that it resembles Captain America’s shield. Consists of raspberries at stripes and blueberries at the center star.

55. This Hershey’s firework cake is a chocolate and fruit lover’s delight.

I think this came from Hershey. But it sure has lovely decorations on it. Love the chocolate the best.

56. 4th of July jello shots are always healthier with fruit in them.

But note that they may contain alcohol that’s not legal for those 21 and under. Consult the host before you or your kids consume.

57. I’m sure there could be no more American cake with stars and stripes like this one.

Yes, this is an American flag star cake. And it has sections with stars and stripes. Looks pretty cool.

58. These jello stars come with their own red, white and blue layers.

Yes, I had red, white, and blue jello stars on here before. But these are made much differently than the ones I showed previously. So they go on the post.

59. Nothing graces a 4th of July dessert platter than this fruit star cake at the center.

Yet, another 4th of July treat I wanted to put in last year’s post but couldn’t, Still, love the sparklers on it.

60. For July 4th, this star spangled sheet cake will certainly wow your American guests with pride.

Yes, I know I showed a sheet cake like this before. But this one is in a different shade of blue and its stripes go over the edge. Besides, I think it’s better made.

61. For your 4th of July BBQ, this hotdog tray will sure delight your guests.

This even comes with some star chips for good measure. What American couldn’t love that?

62. An American flag cake like this should have an Old Glory center.

With its exterior coated in chocolate icing and M&Ms. Not sure if the interior looks doable though.

63. These patriotic pancakes can be part of any star spangled breakfast.

Just be sure to add blueberries for the extra red, white, and blue touch. Not sure about the red pancakes though.

64. Nothing makes a more American 4th of July than this American flag cake roll.

Wanted to put this one on last year’s 4th of July treat post, too. But I do like the stripes and stars on this.

65. Sometimes the best American flag cookies don’t come with icing at all.

Because these flag cookies use food coloring and are assembled before they’re baked. Seem pretty easy to make at any rate.

66. A fruit pizza cake like this is said to be berry patriotic.

Yes, I know I put one on my post last year. But this one has blackberries instead of blueberries though.

67. Show your guests American pride with this 4th of July snack mix.

Well, it’s called “Patriotic Snack Mix” at any rate. I’m sure it just takes Chex mix and adding things edible that are red, white, and blue.

68. For a quality 4th of July dessert platter, this blueberry pie has bright stars.

Sure it may not have the stripes. But I think any full blooded American would certainly like it.

69. This American flag fruit pizza will have 4th of July party guests coming back for more.

Yet, another American flag fruit pizza. But this one has strawberries, blueberries, and banana. So it’s much healthier than the other one I showed.

70. This American flag cake has stars and stripes all around.

It also has decorations to resemble fireworks. Definitely professionally made by the way.

71. Any American patriot is bound to enjoy this red, white, and blue chevron cookie cake.

And here it is in a pan. Red, white, and blue as well as covered in M&Ms.

72. These American flag cupcakes are full of patriotic goodness.

Yes, these are cupcakes of the stars and stripes itself. And I certainly couldn't do a better job decorating them then its bakery.

Yes, these are cupcakes of the stars and stripes itself. And I certainly couldn’t do a better job decorating them then the bakery responsible.

73. These flag cupcakes will make you want to wave Old Glory.

These also have blueberries and fruit roll ups for decorations. Quite clever if you ask me.

74. These pinwheel cupcakes are certainly a 4th of July dessert to behold.

And I’m positive these came straight out of a bakery. But I love the pinwheels on them.

75. These red, white, and blue fruit stars will be a real 4th of July delight.

After all, they’re probably healthy and have an ingenious design. These are kind of neat to look at, too.

76. Cookies like these have quite star spangled stars.

Sure these star flag cookies are professionally made. But I like them just the same because of the lovely design.

77. There is a no better American treat for the 4th of July than American flag pretzel squares.

They may look easy because they require few ingredients. But they require a fine eye for detail though.

78. No 4th of July lunch can be complete without some patriotic pasta.

And yes, it includes red, white, and blue pasta with alfredo sauce. But I’m sure any patriotic child will love it.

79. Nothing shows American patriotism than strawberries in the stars and stripes.

And here they are. Sure they may look easy. But they’re probably a lot harder to decorate than they initially seem.

80. Old Uncle Sam lends his hat to this cake.

And what an amazing cake it is. Like how it has 3 stars at the bottom.

Be Our Guest for These Disney Treats

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 1, 2016

960

So I give you Disney costumes, merchandise, and crafts. Now it’s on to the treats. Since even Disney characters have to eat, there’s a lot of stuff revolving around food. In fact, there’s a Disney Pixar movie called Ratatouille that revolves around a rat who aspires to be a chef in Paris. You also have the famous spaghetti scene pictured above from Lady and the Tramp where our two lead dogs share a romantic dinner to “Bella Notte.” Then there’s the “Be Our Guest” number from Beauty and the Beast where Belle is entertained by a production of singing and dancing inanimate objects. Yes, you will find tons of food moments like this in plenty of Disney movies throughout the years. Hell, there are even movies when the characters are seen as food like in Bambi (since I know a thing or two about deer hunting season even though Bambi’s mother was poached). Or in The Little Mermaid when there’s a scene of a chef making a mess in the kitchen when trying to kill Sebastian (who eventually gets served to Eric’s butler). Yes, it’s bound to give some children or parents nightmares. Outside of the Disney movies, you’ll find plenty of Disney theme park cuisine at the parks. There are also plenty of treats on Pinterest where I’ve found plenty which people make for Disney themed parties. Now for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Disney goodies to fawn over.

Since she’s the first Disney Princess, let’s start with a Snow White Bento lunch.

And it seems this is the first time I’ve seen Snow White on cheese. But she still looks adorable.

2. You don’t have to go to the Hundred Acre Wood to get a hold of this delicious Pooh snack.

Well, I’m sure even a honey loving bear would find these cheese and cracker treats tasty. So adorable.

3. For your Alice in Wonderland party, make sure you have cookies like these.

However, since we don’t live in Wonderland, you don’t have to worry about them making you larger or smaller. Well, maybe gaining a few pounds but that’s about it.

4. Monsters Inc. fans might want to take a bite out of these Mike Wazowski cake pops.

As far as mythological creatures are concerned, Mike Wazowski is one of the most lovable cyclops monsters I’ve ever seen. However, Monsters Inc. is really about his friend Sully.

5. Fans of Cars might enjoy these traffic cone cakes.

Just have some ice cream cones, graham crackers, and cake filling. Don’t seem too hard to make at all.

6. If you like Up, then you’ll like this mass of cupcakes.

The bottom cupcake is the of the Up house. The rest our balloons. So creative but probably professionally done.

7. Fans of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence of Fantasia might enjoy a cake like this.

Let’s just say, Mickey shouldn’t have used his magic to avoid doing chores. That just caused a lot of trouble.

8. Cars fans might want to take a bite out of this Mater sandwich.

I know Cars isn’t one of Pixar’s best. Nor is Mater one of its best characters. But having a sandwich shows that the film had ample popularity.

9. Now that’s one big loaf of Mickey bread.

Guess this is made from a Disney park chef. And he seems to be proud of it, too.

10. There’s nothing more sweeter than a gingerbread Up house.

I know it’s not for eating like most gingerbread creations. But it sure is amazing to look at if you agree with me.

11. A Sleeping Beauty cake like this will make any birthday girl feel like a fairy princess.

Not sure if you can eat the book. But it sure makes this cake stand out to some extent.

12. There’s no magical cake from Disney than one of Cinderella’s castle.

This is especially when you have Cinderella and her prince in front of it. Of course, no on really cares for her prince much.

13. A Maleficent candy apple is a fitting treat for any Mistress of All Evil.

Doesn’t hurt if it’s green like Maleficent’s skin. Like the horns, too.

14. This Belle bento lunch shall be more than enough to tame a hungry beast.

And this seems to be a good likeness of her. Wonder what the hair is made of.

15. There’s nothing fishy about this Finding Nemo bento lunch.

Not sure if it contains any fish. But we all should agree that this rice Nemo is so adorable.

16. Wake up in the morning to some Mr. Potato Head pancakes.

Said to be a great treat for those with angry eyes. Not sure if there’s a Mrs. Potato Head equivalent though.

17. Any little girl is sure to delight in these Disney Princess gingerbread cookies.

Only 8 of these are featured. Some with the dress variety. But these are cute and doable with the right icing and food coloring.

18. This Disney Princess cake seems to have the whole castle bunch.

I’m sure this was made for a 4 year old before Frozen. Otherwise, you’d be bound to see Elsa and Anna on it.

19. No Toy Story party could ever be complete without cupcakes depicting the little green men.

Even better if you serve these via the claw like in the Pizza Planet scene of the first movie. Still, seem quite easy to make and very expressive.

20. Remember that Pixar short with the birds on wire? Well, there’s a cake for that.

Like the movies, Pixar shorts have their fans. I forget what this one is called. But the cake design is spot on.

21. These Monsters Inc. donuts will sure give you a scare.

Sure they're not scary. But you have to admire how this person could get their faces just right.

Sure they’re not scary except in nutritional content. But you have to admire how this person could get their faces just right.

22. This Pinocchio bento lunch will help you munch upon a star.

Includes a Jiminy Cricket apple and a Pinocchio sandwich. The cheese on the crackers are depicted as stars since “When You Wish Upon a Star” is from that movie.

23. This cake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will make you say “Heigh-Ho.”

I’m sure this guy is proud of the cake he made. Even has the Wicked Queen in her old hag disguise.

24. Make this Ariel bento lunch part of your world.

Ariel may not be one of my favorite Disney Princesses for obvious reasons. But they really got this lunch in her likeness.

25. These Mickey Mouse pretzel bites are a real Disney treat.

Like any pretzel bites, these are quite easy to make. Except you have to use different sized M&M’s.

26. No magical party on an Arabian night is complete without an Aladdin cake of the sultan’s palace.

Definitely professionally made due to the attention of detail. But you have to admire the design.

27. Nothing makes a better Toy Story lunch than a little green man on toast.

He’s mostly made from guacamole. But he’s so adorable you can just eat him up.

28. Fans of Roz from Monsters Inc. will surely enjoy this ice cream sundae.

She’s that slug monster with the raspy voice who administrates the floor Mike and Sulley work on. And this is almost captures her perfectly.

29. This WALL-E cake is impossible not to love.

Because WALL-E is such a cute, expressive, and sweet robot that brings you to tears. This cake is so adorable.

30. These enchanted stained glass rose cookies are perfect for any Beauty and the Beast occasion.

As you’ve seen the movie, the intro is told with stained glass windows and there’s an enchanted rose involved. I’m sure these were professionally made as well.

31. You can’t go wrong with stuffed Mickey Mouse peppers for satisfying your Disney appetite.

I may not be a fan of Mickey. But I’m sure if you know how to make stuffed peppers, you’ll know how to make these.

32. No Up house cake? A Spirit of Adventure blimp is as good as any.

The Spirit of Adventure blimp was the ride Carl’s hero Charles F. Muntz. He’s the movie’s bad guy, by the way.

33. No Pooh party is ever complete without some “hunny” pots.

I bet these are made in a similar way to the cupcake cauldrons. Yet, these are quite clever and adorable.

34. No Disney party could ever be complete without some Mickey Mouse pizza.

They’re made the same way as regular small pizzas. But with Mickey Mouse ears of course.

35. You’ve heard of sushi. How about Poohshi?

Yes, that’s Winnie the Pooh sushi. Not sure if has honey. But it’s so cute that you just want to eat it up.

36. A headstrong princess can always do with a Merida lunch from Brave.

This is in the bento style with Merida in a seaweed dress, a rice face, and noodle hair. Comes with a side of tomato soup.

37. You can’t have a Disney party without serving up some Mickey Mouse pizza.

I think this might’ve come from some pizzeria that makes them. Maybe at the Disney parks. But this looks doable.

38. There’s no such bother with this Winnie the Pooh lunch.

Yes, it’s a bento Winnie the Pooh lunch. And it has Pooh made of cheese. But it’s adorable to say the least.

39. You can’t go wrong with these Mickey Mouse buns.

Comes with cheese to dip in according to this picture. However, these seem rather easy to do and look tasty.

40. Try to munch on this Cinderella lunch before midnight.

I know Cindrella is in a pink one instead of blue or silver. But there’s not a lot of blue or silver food around. Plus, her hair looks cheesy.

41. Melted Olaf always makes a great Frozen treat.

Okay, this might be kind of crazy for the little ones around. But I think it’s kind of clever, especially around summer.

42. This Lumiere lunch will brighten your day.

And I assure you that it’s quite healthy, too. As Lumiere is made from cheese and banana.

43. Those who love Disney will find this macaron set hard to resist.

Well, they consist of plenty of Disney characters from movies and cartoons. You see some from Winnie the Pooh and Monsters Inc.

44. No Disney Princess party is eve without cupcakes like these.

These may be professionally made. But will go nicely with the castle cake I showed earlier.

45. No Frozen party should ever exclude these marshmallow Olaf bites.

And they really seem to resemble Olaf, too. Let’s hope he’s not on a beach towel at the moment.

46. Wonder how this Beauty and the Beast cake manages to strike a balance.

I’m sure this cake was professionally made and not cheaply. Still, makes me scratch my head just looking at it.

47. If you liked Toy Story 3, then you might take to a cake like this.

Of course, it might make some parents cry, especially if they have kids all grown up and have been to college. Still, this is kind of neat to see.

48. For a monster party, try some of this Mike Wazowski guacamole dip.

We call it because it’s green and has one eye. Might be good with crackers.

49. This Belle bento is a lunch befitting any princess.

Somehow Belle seems to be quite cheesy. Then again, she seems mostly made from cheese in this one.

50. You can’t have a Pooh party without these “hunny” pot cake pops.

You see these “hunny” pots a lot in Winnie the Pooh. Because the bear really loves honey.

51. But I didn’t think I’d see everything when I see a cake of an elephant trying to fly.

This is from Dumbo. It’s a movie about a cute baby circus elephant who eventually learns how to fly. And is separated from his mother.

52. No Frozen party is complete without a marshmallow Olaf in blue jello.

Here he is lying in jello in a fantasy of lying in water. Doesn’t seem to know that by summer, he’ll be melted and evaporated by that point. Because he’s made of snow.

53. Let it go in the morning with an Elsa pancake breakfast.

Sure she may be an icy snow queen. But this pancake breakfast doesn’t have to.

54. No Aladdin themed party is complete without a cake like this.

Mostly consists of a Genie lamp and cushions. But I think it’s very well made and matches with the movie perfectly.

55. This Buzz Lightyear lunch will take you to infinity and beyond.

And this benton really seems to capture Buzz's face that it's almost creepy. Like how they used carrot stars.

And this bento really seems to capture Buzz’s face that it’s almost creepy. Like how they used carrot stars.

56. If you loved Ratatouille, this is the cake for you.

Normally, such a sight might be a chef’s nightmare. But since it’s on a cake honoring a Pixar film, it’s adorable.

57. Any Disney party will always have to include cookies like these.

These are cookies depicting well-known Disney characters. Some from movies you’ve seen. Some you haven’t.

58. This Bambi lunch is fitting for any forest creature.

However, despite it’s reputation, Bambi isn’t a cute little deer story, especially since his mother gets shot. And it wasn’t based on a children’s story either.

59. This Mickey ice cream bar cake will never give you a frosty reception.

This was made for a boy called Vinny who was turning 49. You see, Disney kids could be of any age.

This was made for a boy called Vinny who was turning 40. You see, Disney kids could be of any age.

60. This Sheriff Woody bento lunch will help you reach for the sky.

Like how they made it really look like Woody here. And put him over Buzz Lightyear table cloth.

61. Nothing can bring you the magic of Disney at your party than a cake like this.

This castle cake features many of your favorite and important Disney characters. Includes Mickey and friends, princesses, and Pixar.

62. If this is the night for your party, then this Lady and the Tramp cake will make it bella notte.

Yes, it depicts that romantic spaghetti scene I put in as an introductory picture. And it’s so cute.

63. If you are more crazy about cats, then perhaps this Aristocats cake might suit your fancy.

This depicts a movie in which an alley cat helps a cat and her kittens return home. Also has a jazzy musical number, too.

64. For healthy desserts, this Minnie Mouse fruit pizza will do.

Minnie is Mickey’s female counterpart and girlfriend who’s just as annoying. But this fruit pizza seems doable and nutritious.

65. You have to have no heart not to love this Bambi cake.

Yes, this a cake that captures a heartwarming moment. Too bad the hunters got to his mom during the winter. However, it’s clear that she was poached.

66. A brave princess has to have a Brave cake like this one.

It’s of Merida shooting arrows in the forest. Also has trees that are made from icing and pretzel sticks.

67. You can’t have a super party without these Incredibles cupcakes.

Well, mainly these are Mr. Incredible cupcakes. But everyone in his family has the same kind of uniform so I’m going with the plural.

68. This Piglet bento lunch will have you tickled pink.

It’s also kind of interesting that Piglet’s original voice actor was in 12 Angry Men. He was Juror #2.

69. Hope this Mulan lunch makes a man out of you.

Well, I was just kidding on that one. But this Mulan lunch is befitting for any female badass.

70. These Mickey and Friends pretzel snacks should be great for any party platter.

And they should be no trouble to make. However, Mickey Mouse and his buddies are annoying as hell in the cartoons.

71. Didn’t know a house cake can be held up by so many jellybeans.

Actually it’s not. But this is a great cake of the house from Up. Like how it looks raised.

72. Remember the starfish from Finding Nemo? Well, say hello to these cookies.

Well, her name is Peach. And she functions as a lookout for the aquarium fish at the dentist’s office. Still, these cookies are neat.

73. This WALL-E and EVE bento lunch will melt their heart.

Who knew that Pixar could make a robot love story that would make you cry? This is so adorable, by the way.

Well, at your Lion King party anyway. Still, like how they used nachos and peppers for some of the features.

75. A Rapunzel Tower cake is always great for a Tangled affair.

I think it’s for a wedding. But I like the flowers on it. Very pretty.

76. This Pocahontas bento lunch is said to paint all the colors with the wind.

Sure Pocahontas maybe one of the stronger Disney Princesses, but as a history major she’s not one of my favorites. Mostly because her historical counterpart didn’t have a romance with John Smith because she was 10 or 11 at the time.

77. If you don’t have the dough, you can always do a Mickey Mouse pizza with pepperoni.

Make sure you use a different size for the head and ears. Still, looks pretty easy.

78. Candy poisoned apples are always befitting for an evil queen.

Well, these aren’t actually poison. But I have to like the icing skull decorations on them.

79. You might be able to fly with this Tinkerbell fruit salad.

Truth be told, I didn’t put any Peter Pan stuff on my Disney posts because I’m not a fan of the film. But I think this is well done.

80. Toy Story fans will surely delight in a cake of Andy’s room.

Really like this cake. And it really seems to capture the kid’s room. So cool.

81. A dream is a wish your heart makes with this Cinderella glass slipper cake.

I wonder why the glass slippers seem to remain after everything changed at midnight. However, it’s easier to see that you can’t fit a foot into glass like into leather.

82. Anyone who simply doesn’t like this Mary Poppins cake is simply quite atrocious.

Yes, this is a Mary Poppins cake from the movie. Like how it has her umbrella and Burt’s porkpie on top.

83. You can’t deny that this bento will make a fine lunch in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Consists of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. And yes, they’re all so cute you’d want to eat them up.

84. This Mulan cake is fitting for any kick ass heroine.

This is a cake of Mulan in a Chinese garden at home. Considering her circumstances, she’s not from peasant stock to say the least.

85. Guess the feelings on this cake are all mixed up.

This is an Inside Out cake. And it seems that Fear and Anger have to share a tier.

86. What’s not to love about this Eeyore cake?

Sure he’s depressed all the time. But there’s a reason why he’s so popular, especially when there’s a butterfly on his nose.

87. Pooh is always in his element when he’s in honey.

Yes, Pooh is certainly loving this. Cake may be professionally made but it’s adorable.

88. It’s no lie that you can’t do without Pinocchio cookies for a Disney dessert platter.

Sure they may only show his head. But I’m sure some people can’t help but love them.

89. This Princess Aurora bento is a lunch that seems once upon a dream.

I don’t know about you but Aurora seems to be among the least active Disney Princesses. Then again, she’s supposed to be a sleeping beauty, but still.

90. These Snow White posioned apple cookies are certainly to die for.

Oh, wait did I say to die for? Maybe knocking you out until someone kisses you. Hope that doesn’t happen to me.

91. For an easy Little Mermaid cake, try one of Flounder.

You know, one of Ariel’s fish friends. This one has blue cookie fins to spare.

92. If you like Pixar movies but can’t decide, this cake is for you.

I guess this is for a boy since it has Cars, Toy Story, the Incredibles, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo. Not on there are Brave, Ratatouille, WALL-E, A Bug’s Life, and Up.

93. This Olaf cake is great for any Frozen occasion.

And it doesn’t seem to take much trouble to make either. And unlike Olaf in the movie, can withstand the heat.

94. Not Pooh party can be complete without some Piglet cookies.

These are icing covered Oreos with jelly bean noses and marshmallow ears. So cute.

95. This Jafar bento lunch will leave you hypnotized.

Like when Jafar is with ths Sultan. Okay, maybe not that far.But this is kind of cool.

Like when Jafar is with the Sultan. Okay, maybe not that far.But this is kind of cool.

96. It’s about time Disney villains had a cake of their own.

Kind of wish Maleficent is on there because she’s a well known bad girl of Disney. But this is sufficient.

97. These Tangled cupcake treats certainly let their hair down.

As you can see by the cones, if you please. Like the purple icing tops, too.

98. There’s simply nothing sweeter than some Pooh buns.

Hopefully they have honey in them for Pooh’s taste. So adorable.

99. This is a kind of cake that can melt a Frozen heart.

Since it has Anna and Elsa on them. After all, Frozen is the kind of story depicting sisterly love.

100. Finally, this Jasmine bento lunch will put you in a whole new world.

Well, her outfit wasn’t that color in the movie. But this is a fairly good rendition.

Star Trek Treats from the Mess Hall

Posted by historymaniacmegan on May 17, 2016

While there’s not a lot of craft projects being made in Star Trek, there is a lot of talk pertaining to food. After all, Starfleet officers always need to eat somehow. And most of the time, a ship always has to have a mess hall unless you’re on Deep Space Nine. There, you have Quark’s Bar and Casino which is like Rick’s Cafe Americain in space. That or Mos Eisley Spaceport. Not to mention, there’s probably other places as well with some officers cooking their own food such as Commander Sisko who wouldn’t dare replicate his ingredients. Though spaceships on Star Trek tend to have some food, many would be lost if it weren’t for replication technology. Mess halls also have to account for resident aliens on the ship as well since they might prefer their food prepared differently than what humans are used to. For instance, while Captain Picard might prefer a lobster that’s already been in a pot, Worf would probably want to eat his while it’s still alive. And he might strongly prefer one from his home planet which might seem more menacing than its earth counterpart. This is where replication technology also comes in hand as well. Still, don’t ask me how it works. Nevertheless, outside the Star Trek universe, you have plenty of Trekkies who also have Trek themed parties with Trek themed treats. And this is where I come in. So for your reading pleasure, I give you Star Trek treats from the final frontier.

Fans of the original series would enjoy these Star Trek cookies.

And it seems to consist of all the main characters. So adorable you’d just want to eat them up.

2. Those who enjoyed “Devil in the Dark” might like this Horta from chocolate crackles.

Yes, it looks disgusting. But it seems way less gross than what you’d see on the original show.

3. Any young Starfleet officer is always going to need what’s in their Star Trek tricorder bento lunch.

Well, a sushi tricorder, some meat balls, and an American cheese Starfleet insignia. Still, that tricorder looks like a work of art.

4. Starfleet jello shots always make great desserts.

Well, for adults 21+ anyway if they contain alcohol. But it consists of colors you’d find on the Starfleet uniforms.

5. These cookies with Starfleet insignia are surely bound to shine.

After all, they’re made from stars and decorated with icing. Kind of clever if you think of it.

6. When it comes to Captain Picard, always bake it so with these cookies.

Oddly, some of the cookies here say, “Bake it so.” Also like the teapots on these, too.

7. This Spock bento lunch is surely the logical choice.

After all, it has a cheese Spock over a sandwich. Still, it’s nutritional content should allow your kid to live long and prosper.

8. These cookies are a must have at any Trekkie’s baby shower.

Yes, I know they’re professionally made. But the sayings on these are so funny.

9. An Enterprise topped cake is great for any party that’s boldly going where no party has gone before.

Like the space motifs on this. Probably made by someone who’s either a professional or has too much time on their hands.

10. This bento gives a nutritious lunch for any young Starfleet cadet in your life.

Well, it’s nutritious all right. Doesn’t hurt that the sandwich is shaped like the Enterprise.

11. No party on the Enterprise could ever be complete without cookies like these.

Since these cookies are of Starfleet officer insignia. Might not be for all alien tastes.

12. No Klingon bash can ever be complete without some Klingon rolls.

Since such bread makes an ideal side dish for a warrior. I’m sure Worf will be pleased.

13. Resistance against this Borg cube cake is futile.

It even lights up. But it’s presented at any Trek themed party, you will be assimilated.

14. Those who like the Doctor from Voyager will surely enjoy this cake of him from his sickbay.

This is especially if your name is Robert Picardo who played the guy. Interestingly enough, the guy initially auditioned for Neelix and add libbed during his audition for the Doctor. However, the Doctor on the show ended up becoming much more popular.

15. At Star Trek parties, it’s not unusual for gingerbread men to be Starfleet security officers.

Because we all know what happens to them on planets in the original series. After all, there’s a reason why a lot of them don’ come back.

16. A cake like this is great for ensuring the Trekkie in your life to live long and prosper.

However, I don’t think the Enterprise topper is edible on this. Still, cool that it lights up if you ask me.

17. On Starfleet, these jello shots seem well suited for any space vessel’s mess hall party.

Only for those 21+ if they contain alcohol. Available in 3 colors. Of course, those who get red shouldn’t beam down to the planet for awhile.

18. Nothing makes a Star Trek party like a Starfleet roll cake.

After all, it’s patterned with Starfleet insignia. What’s not a Trekkie to love?

19. With these Borg cupcakes, you will be assimilated with frosting.

These are clever and adorable. Nevertheless, you don’t say that about the Borg very often since they’re among the most sinister Star Trek villains to date.

20. It’s very apparent that no Klingon could ever resist the taste of a pie from home.

Of course, I’m sure a real Klingon pie would be much more disgusting. However, I think this one is well made with the Klingon logo included.

21. Fans of the original series might enjoy this cake of a communicator.

Funny how that technology from the future is less advanced than my cell phone. Still, this cake bears a very close resemblance.

22. Nothing brings a Trekkie party to life like these cookies of undead captains.

And I guess Captain Picard is holding his own head. Well, at least they got the uniforms right.

23. No Klingon party could ever be worthwhile without a cake like this.

Yes, this is a Klingon cake. Not sure what it’s supposed to look like. Some fans might though.

24. I guess any member of Starfleet celebrates their birthday with this cake.

Seems about right since it has the Starfleet insignia. Probably professionally made though.

25. If you’re a fan of the United Federation of Planets, then this cake’s for you.

This is pretty cool, too. Like how everything’s lined in gold. Probably didn’t come cheap.

26. Grace your Trek party with this cake of the captain on bridge.

This one is from the original series as you see here. But I’m sure any Trekkie would like it.

27. A gingerbread Enterprise is always said to shoot down candy cane laser beams.

Sure it’s not for eating. But you have to admire how this Trekkie pulled this off. Very creative if you ask me.

28. A great Star Trek cake always has to include Captain Kirk and Spock.

After all, these two guys are really best friends. And the art on this isn’t too shabby either.

29. This cake was brought to you by the United Federation of Planets.

And. boy, this cake seems to have a lot of detail. Probably made from some high end bakery in the galaxy.

30. Resistance against this Hello Kitty Borg cake is futile.

Never have I ever seen Borg assimilation look so adorable. That said, this is kind of disturbing.

31. Looks like this Enterprise bridge cake is a bit bare.

Well, this is from Star Trek: Enterprise. But yes, it kind of looks gray if you ask me.

32. Fans of Deep Space Nine can only dream of a cake like this.

From how it’s detail, it’s certainly professionally made. But it looks really cool, too.

33. Trekkies who like making money might enjoy a cake of a Ferengi.

The Ferengi aren’t really good or evil because they only wish to make money. And they don’t care where the cash comes from either.

34. For those holier than thou Trekkies, this is just the cake for you.

Yes, I know this cake might seem sacrilegious to some. But there are plenty of religious people who enjoy Star Trek and might find this awesome. So to each his own.

35. This Janeway cake will surely go well with the Borg cupcakes.

Okay, Janeway might not be the best Star Trek captain. But this cake is quite awesome if you ask me.

36. Red Shirt Oreos are always a hit at any Starfleet bash.

After all, they seem quite easy to make that they’re almost expendable. Get it?

37. Celebrate a young Starfleet officer’s birthday with this uniform cake.

This one is from Next Generation so you don’t have to worry. In fact, many of the main cast from that show wears one and they usually return from the planet.

38. Any Trekkie dessert platter can’t be complete without these cookies.

These include a phaser, Starfleet insignia, Klingon insignia, the Enterprise, and the Vulcan salute. But they all seem well decorated.

39. A Horta loaf always goes well with a Starfleet biscuit.

Not sure what those gray things are. But this dish looks rather edible for some humans.

40. A gingerbread communicator always makes a tasty Trekkie treat.

Unless if you’re a gingerbread Starfleet officer. Then it’s essential for getting in touch with the Enterprise. Just kidding.

41. Remember, it’s always okay to be Takei.

Well, that’s according to this bento. Those who know about George Takei’s sexual orientation will sure get this.

42. Well, these Star Trek cookies seem like they’re happy.

Except good Spock and evil Spock that is. Also includes a couple of redshirts. I wonder why.

43. Seems like something is bursting from this Starfleet cake you don’t see every day.

Guess this is a mashup of Star Trek: TNG and the Alien franchise. Where’s Ellen Ripley when you need her?

44. Your guests will find it hard to not get greedy with these Ferengi ear rolls.

Okay, they may not bear a close resemblance. But I like this dish. So it goes on the post.

45. No Starfleet party dessert platter is complete without these cake pops.

Each one bears the Starfleet insignia. Comes in 6 types.

46. What could Captain Picard do if he didn’t have scones with his Earl Grey tea?

Okay, he might not have scones with his tea. But if he did, these would be perfect.

47. Star Trek cupcakes like these are surely hard to resist.

These also consist of stuff you might find from the original series. Even a green girl and tribble. Adorable.

48. This Trekkie cake is bound to be a chocolate lovers delight.

Since it has chocolate icing, chocolate chips, and M&Ms. And it looks so delicious as well as easy to make.

49. I guess this cake has phasers set to stun.

However, the uniform seems like it’s from The Next Generation. So I’m a little confused.

50. This bento lunch will help any Vulcan kid live long and prosper.

Then again, Vulcans are vegetarians. But this is a great edible Spock tribute if you ask me.

51. Resistance to these Borg jello shots is futile.

The official recipe contains alcohol so it’s for those 21+ only. However, I’m not sure if the Borg would eat these though.

52. Fans of TNG’s “Conspiracy” episode might enjoy a plate of meal worms and parasite bread.

Don’t worry, the meal worms are pasta. However, I do like the breaded crabs though. So creative.

53. For Worf, a dish of Klingon octopus is just the ticket.

Yeah, Klingon food looks like that but more disgusting. After all, Klingons eat their meat live and bloody.

54. Fans of the original series will find sugar cookies like these quite delightful.

Well, these consist of members of the main cast on Enterprise. And they’re so adorable in frosting.

55. For fans of “Amok Time” this is the cake just for you.

Not sure if Kirk and Spock’s fight scene is appropriate cake material. However, I understand that some Trekkies might not care.

56. Grace your Starfleet dessert platter with a quality redshirt cake.

After all, it’s most likely the most expendable Star Trek cake available. As I know what happens to redshirts.

57. Seems like this Enterprise boldly came with more meat than it did before.

I think this is an Enterprise meat sculpture. So unfortunately, it’s not for eating and won’t help you live long and prosper.

58. Nothing makes a better addition to a Trekkie party than a gingerbread enterprise.

Yes, this is another gingerbread Enterprise. But this one is covered in icing while the last one wasn’t.

59. Wish your guests to live long and prosper with this Star Trek cookie platter.

Comes with uniforms, Starfleet insignia, and Spock. And all cookies are covered in icing.

60. Of course, any Trekkie doctor is bound to enjoy this Dr. McCoy cake.

Yes, this is professionally made and some of the decorations aren’t edible. But it’s pretty funny and in the true Dr. McCoy spirit.

61. These Starfleet tarts are certain to make any Enterprise party a hit.

Guess they have 3 different fillings like strawberry, lemon, and blueberry. And are all shaped like Starfleet insignia.

62. Guess this bento carries a phaser lunch set to stun.

Well, it contains a phasier sandwich and stars at least. But that's beside the point.

Well, it contains a phaser sandwich and stars at least. But that’s beside the point.

63. Andorian fans will definitely want these cupcakes at any party.

And these seem especially easy to decorate since they only require white icing and blue antennae. Not sure if the antennae are edible.

64. I bring a cake of the starship Enterprise boldly going where no cake has gone before.

I guess this cake was meant to display. But it seems someone couldn’t resist to take a bite out of this thing.

65. Wonder where the Enterprise is going on this cake.

I hope it’s to a planet that’s able to support some kind of life. But as far as the original show goes, you’ll never know.

66. Anyone at Starfleet Command will surely approve of these cupcakes.

Because they come in all 3 uniform colors and have chocolate Starfleet insignia. But I like them anyway.

67. These Star Trek pancakes are part of a complete breakfast.

I guess someone spent too much time on these because they sure look like the characters. I don’t know why such dishes even exist.

68. As we all know, these Star Trek gingerbread cookies can’t be beat.

Let me guess, the one in the red shirt isn’t Scotty. How was I to know that?

69. A bento lunch like this is certain to be Starfleet approved.

Well, it consists of stars and the Starfleet insignia. But I think kids will be sure to love this.

70. Fans of Captain James T. Kirk should always have a cake like this.

For we all know that Kirk has rock hard abs. And once he gets in trouble on the planet, the shirt comes off.

71. At any Starfleet party, you can’t resist these cupcakes.

After all, they’re chocolate and have the Starfleet insignia on them. Look so delicious.

72. Fans of TNG will certainly find this Data bento lunch delightful.

Of course, Data will probably won’t eat this because he’s an android. But this is quite cute.

73. I guess this cake seems to come with its own scanner.

This one has to be from TNG due to the uniform style. Then again, I’m not sure what that gadget is.

74. An Enterprise cake like this is sure to make a fine centerpiece at any Starfleet party.

Well, this looks quite intricately decorated. But it took a lot of time on someone’s hands at the bakery.

75. This 3 layer Borg cake is said to be impossible to resist.

Because resistance to this cake is futile. We know since Captain Picard learned the hard way.

76. Klingon fans would be delighted if a dessert platter contained a cake of a Klingon bird of prey.

That is a cake of a Klingon ship. Best to board this with caution since we know what Klingons are like.

77. Guess this bridge cake is from the Next Generation.

And it seems to have more people on the bridge than some of the other bridge cakes. Wonder why that is.

78. Fans of Deep Space Nine might also enjoy a cake of The Defiant.

Well, this kid seems to. Still, I know it’s not a classy ship like the Enterprise. But it doesn’t have to be.

79. Seems like that Star Trek alien dog has a treat of its own, too.

And it seems to bear a rather close resemblance. Still, there weren’t a lot of good special effects during the 1960s. They had to make do with what they had.

80. Let’s see how this Voyager cake stacks against the Borg Cube.

Well, they apparently seem to be the same size. Guess these two cakes were for a big party.

81. In this part of galaxy nobody could resist these tribble bites.

Because these are bound to cause trouble. However, Klingons are known not to like them.

82. A Star Trek cake like this is said to be a Trekkie’s dessert delight.

Contains the Enterprise, the Vulcan salute, and the 3 Starfleet uniform colors. What more can a Trekkie want?

83. These Star Trek cookies are sure to please at any party.

These seem to be based on the original series. Nevertheless, they seem so adorable an almost impossible to resist.

84. When it comes to Star Trek parties, you can’t go wrong with a cake and these cupcakes.

Well, these tend to be more or less inspired by the reboot movies. But at least the cake has Kirk and Spock together.

85. This pull away cupcake cake is brought to you by a bakery in Starfleet.

Yes, I know I have a lot of cakes on this post. But sometimes you have to make do with what you have.

86. Well, at least this cake has a Stardate.

However, I’m not sure what this means. Not sure how they come up with these things in Star Trek.

87. This Enterprise bento will sure make your kid the envy of other Starfleet cadets.

This one also has an Enterprise sandwich as well as stars. But it doesn’t seem as thick as the last one I put on this post.

88. Guess this starship wants to blow up the Borg cube.

However, I’m not sure if that ship will have any success. Because under the Borg, resistance is futile.

89. These gingerbread Star Trek cookies will surely rock any party at Starfleet Command.

Well, these do tend to have a real homey feel to them. And don’t seem to take too much icing.

90. A Star Trek bento like this may wish you to live long and prosper.

After all, it says so on the sandwich with cheese. Still, it’s quite creative.

91. Shoe your love for your favorite Trekkie with this cookie platter.

I guess these cookies are professionally made and are from TNG. Still, they’re quite sweet if you ask me.

92. There are no better chocolates aboard the Enterprise than these candies.

Yes, these are Star Trek chocolates. And yes, some are sure to find them awesome.

93. Seems like this cake really reaches for the stars.

Well, it seems to be the Enterprise surrounded by space, the final frontier. Not sure if the Enterprise is edible on this though.

94. When you can’t get an Enterprise cake, a shuttle one would do just as well.

And this seems like a rather nice cake. However, you don’t really see the shuttles on the show very often since they tend to beam up a lot in the transporter.

95. When it comes to Enterprise cakes, nothing beats homemade.

And it seems like whoever made this, did a very good job. Like the icing detail.

96. A redshirt cupcake is always easy to make.

So easy that they always seem expendable at parties. Of course, I think these might be from Next Generation. But you see what I mean.

97. I guess a cake like this encourages one to boldly go where no man has gone before.

It might be made from a sheet cake, but it’s quite clever. Of course, you know the rest of that sentence.

98. Fans of the Next Generation might enjoy this set of cupcakes.

Well, TNG wasn’t the best Star Trek series. But these cupcaeks are so cute. Like Data with his cat.

99. This set of cookies was made especially for Mr. Sulu.

George Takei received these cookies for his 75th birthday from a bakery. Quite nice of them since I found this on Pinterest.

100. Finally, I’m sure no officers has seen cupcakes like these at Starfleet.

These use buttercream icing by the way. And they’re all in 3 different colors, too.

Marvel Comics Treats Straight From Deadpool’s Kitchen

Posted by historymaniacmegan on April 2, 2016

Of course, while some superheroes have powers, this doesn’t mean that some of them have to eat to sustain themselves. And if you don’t have superpowers like a lot of those in Marvel, you need to eat a balanced diet. And spend hours a day working out and training because a vigilante crime fighter always needs to stay in shape. Seriously, while female superheroes are always thin and pretty, there’s not a big body image problem among them. Because most of their male counterparts basically have six-packs anyway. And the genre tends to be geared toward boys and young men anyway even if it does have a big peripheral demographic. That’s because a lot of your superhero stories tend to operate on different levels. Captain America’s story with the Winter Soldier can’t be more poignant if the Winter Soldier isn’t his best friend Bucky Barnes whom he thought died in WWII but apparently he received a fate far worse than death. And this story line was created before the Peeta hijacking idea in the Hunger Games. Spider Man is popular because he’s really a guy named Peter Parker who’s trying to balance his life as a masked vigilante along with normal every day problems. He also has a boss who utterly hates Spider Man (ironically). People love Iron Man because even though Tony Stark can create a reactor heart, he’s still an incredibly selfish guy with unresolved daddy issues as well as struggles with drinking and relationships. Seriously, look how he treats Pepper Potts and you see what I mean. Wolverine enjoys incredible appeal mostly because despite being utterly indestructible, he’s such an utter mess that nothing seems to go right for him. And if it weren’t for his mutant powers and his sense of justice, Wolverine probably wouldn’t be able to function as a human being. Nevertheless, superheroes are so popular that people have parties pertaining to them, mostly for young boys. So it’s not unusual to see some superhero themed food. And I here I present the Marvel set.

Wish your kid a smashing birthday with this Hulk Smash cake.

Hulk smash through wall. Alex smash through cake. Cake more suited for toddlers.

2. There’s nothing more patriotic than this Captain America shield cookie platter.

And it helps that these cookies consist of red, white, and blue stars. Not sure if they’re all the same size.

3. For a healthier fruit snack, this Captain America salad is right for you.

To add the red, white, and blue this consists of raspberries, banana slices, and blueberries. And yes, it looks great.

4. For an alternative fruit snack, you might want to munch on Spider Man strawberries.

These are basically strawberries with Spider Man icing eyes on them. Seem rather simple to make.

5. Spider Man pita pizza is always a tasty treat to make.

So what would it be, olives or not? From the look of it, seems like a tough question.

6. Avenger pizzas, assemble!

You have to like how which Avenger goes with which topping composition. Not sure if I’d want to taste the Hulk’s.

7. A cake like this is bound to go with your Avengers’ pizza party.

On this cake , each Avenger has a respective layer. And it seems Black Widow has one, too. Or is it Nick Fury?

8. This is kind of sandwich for anyone with a hulking appetite.

I guess this is an Incredible Hulk tortilla sandwich? Or is it a quesadilla? I can’t tell.

9. For an easy cookie treat, try these Iron Man hands.

At least these cookies don’t shoot laser beams. Still, these are quite creative.

10. If you liked Guardians of the Galaxy, you might want to take a bite from these cupcakes.

These cupcakes show aspects you might see from the movie. Some I remember. Some I don’t.

11. This Iron Man Cake surely lights up a party.

This one is said to have LED lights embedded in the cake to create the effect. Seems pretty expensive and unnecessary.

12. For any Guardians of the Galaxy party, this Rocket cookie cake is a real treat.

Yes, that’s a raccoon on a cake. If this wasn’t an icing one though, you’d be in trouble.

13. Deadpool stuffed peppers are sure to make a great super meal.

And it seems this one thinks in slices of American cheese. Not sure what’s on his mind now.

14. Nothing packs a healthy punch like Spider Man fruit salad.

This one has a watermelon Spider Man head along with some blueberries mixed in. It also has sound effects in it, too.

15. These dancing baby Groot cupcakes will make a fine addition to any Guardians of the Galaxy dessert platter.

Of course, these use cupcakes for the pot and cookie for Groot. Nevertheless, they’re adorable.

16. Start your day with Captain America’s super powered pancakes.

Because a pancake decorated with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream is all your little super soldier needs to start their day. Still, clever.

17. Seems like Spidey knows how to scale this cake.

Apparently, he’s squaring off against Doctor Octopus. Wonder where he is in this beyond the tentacles.

18. For your Spider Man dessert platter, you can’t go without these macarons.

Well, these are red Spider Man cookies with icing. They’re probably incredibly sweet. However, at least they look good.

19. Pancakes like these are perfect when you’re angry.

I’m sure these are for anyone who wakes up feeling like the Incredible Hulk. Then again, nobody wants to be with the Incredible Hulk in the morning.

20. These Captain America cookies sure have great patriotic flair.

As you see, each one is painted like his shield. Great for any birthday or 4th of July picnic.

21. When it comes to Avenger parties, nothing beats this cake.

Like how they went with Thor’s hammer at the top. Not sure if the green layer is for the Hulk though. But I wouldn’t be surprised.

22. There’s no worth appetizer than a plate of Thor’s hammers.

These hath cheeses and meats attached to sticks of dough covered in salt. Yet, must they provide excellent sustenance that will make thou say, “Another!”

23. For secret agents, you can’t get better than S.H.I.E.L.D pull apart bread.

Okay, it’s a little dark and I’m not sure if it’s bread. But it certainly has the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on there.

24. For a dessert platter, you can’t do without some Spider Man bark.

Yes, this is Spider Man spider web candy bark. I know because it’s red.

25. At Vahalla, you have to guarantee that they’ll have Thor hammer cupcakes.

The hammer is made from pretzel sticks and marshmallows. Available only to those who are worthy.

26. These Hulk cupcakes are sure to be an incredible smash.

And these seemed homemade, too. Just add 3 colors of icing on the chocolate cupcakes.

27. Nothing makes a better lunch in the galaxy than a Groot sandwich.

No, I don’t mean Groot as a sandwich. I mean a sandwich that looks like Groot. There’s a difference.

28. Speaking of sandwiches, how about try some Iron Man cheese and tomato?

The cheese has Iron Man’s face on it. The tomato is for background. Bound to do Stark Industries proud.

29. No evil in the MCU could ever resist a HYDRA pie.

This would be a great addition for the annual HYDRA bake sale. How do you expect such an evil organization to raise funds?

30. Try to claw your way into this Wolverine cake.

And it seems that you might want to be careful with the adamantium claw on top. Perhaps use it as a knife since it can slice through anything.

31. Nothing makes a Spidey party than these Spider Man cookies.

These are sugar cookies with icing Spider Man faces on them. Still, I’m sure any fan will love them.

32. This Spider Man cake is surely surrounded by webs.

I’m sure this was professionally done considering the Spider Man at the center. Nevertheless, I think it’s quite clever if you ask me.

33. Those who might like Japanese cuisine might appreciate some Deadpool sushi.

This only has Deadpool’s eyes. But I’m sure any diehard fan is bound to appreciate this.

34. Nobody can resist a cake in the galaxy like this of baby Groot.

Definitely professionally made as I see from the artistry. Nevertheless, it’s so adorable.

35. I’m sure this apple would make a healthy Spidey snack.

Because it’s an apple with Spider Man’s face carved into it. Portable but probably takes some time to make.

36. For tearaway cupcake cakes, this one certainly is great for patriotic occasions.

Well, at least the red and white outer circles are. Not sure about the blue cake with the star in the middle.

37. This lunch was made courtesy of your neighborhood Spider Man.

This one has Spider Man in a salad as well as spiders in the other dishes. Parents, try to make sure your kid isn’t arachnaphobic before serving them this.

38. No Avengers party is complete without some Black Widow bars.

Because as a member of the Avengers, she has to have a treat of her own. Sure she’s a girl but she’s an Avenger. And she should be treated like one.

39. How about a Spider Man platter with a spider in it.

After all, that’s Spider Man’s trademark. He was bit by a radioactive spider, you know.

40. If you love your friendly neighborhood Spider Men, then you will love this pizza.

Not a lot of cheese used on top, but that’s the point. Still, this is quite clever.

41. Only a Captain America appetizer platter is super worthy of any patriot.

This includes strawberries, cheese, raspberries, and blueberries. Mostly fruit but the colors are consistent with the shield.

42. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with some Spider Man jello.

It’s just red jello made to resemble Spider Man’s head. And yes, icing is involved.

43. Nothing makes your Guardians of the Galaxy veggie platter complete like a Rocket Raccoon veggie platter.

Well, it doesn’t have all veggies. But it’s surely so cute.

44. Never seen a Groot cake like this.

Yes, this is a cake bust of Groot’s head. Professionally made and probably rather expensive.

45. Apparently, you can see Iron Man rising from this one.

Not sure if I remembered this scene in the movies. Then again, I’ve never seen the first one, anyway.

46. For a smashing party, check out this smashing salad.

Yes, this is a Hulk salad. And sure, it’s not green. But the watermelon it’s presented in is.

47. Nothing makes your dessert platter ever more smashing than these Hulk pudding cups.

These mostly consist of green pudding with chocolate chips on top. Nevertheless, like the faces.

These mostly consist of green pudding with chocolate chunks on top. Nevertheless, like the faces.

48. Captain America cupcakes always make a fine patriotic addition to any dessert platter.

Sure they’re not chocolate. But they’re surely easy to decorate than some of the others on this list.

49. When it comes to Marvel superheroes, you can’t do wrong than these bento lunches.

Includes Captain America, Spider Man, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Wolverine. I’m sure each lunch has something different to offer.

50. If you want some super soldier pizza, this Captain America pie can’t be beat.

This one has pepperoni for the stripes. And blue food coloring for the center around the star.

51. Top your Marvel dessert platter with this Captain America shield cake.

Well, this one has the comic Captain America. But the shield is quite nice.

52. For your Spider Man party, go all out with these Spidey cupcakes.

Well, at least these have either webs and spiders on them. Still, if they’re red, they’re from Spider Man.

53. This Captain America cake will make any party patriotic.

This one has a helmet and shield on top. And it’s in red, white, and blue.

54. These Spider Man cake pops are worth spinning a web for.

Since these webs have red underneath, they’re Spider Man. But they’re certainly not for arachnaphobes.

55. For your Marvel party, take a taste of this Captain America tart.

Well, it’s a berry shield tart with strawberries and blueberries. Captain America action figure not included.

56. Nothing makes your Avengers party more assembled than these cake pops.

These include Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Avengers log. Black Widow and Hawkeye not included.

57. In the realm of Rice Krispies, there’s nothing more incredible than these treats.

Hulk snacks on these Rice Krispie treats. Treats green with sprinkles, too.

58. Those into Deadpool might find these cookies quite tasty.

These are cookies with Deadpool’s face on them. But I’m sure non-fans wouldn’t notice it.

59. When it comes to saving a city, this Spider Man cake is just the ticket.

This one is from Cake Boss. It was probably for some spoiled rich kid’s birthday party. Considering how big it is and how it’s a cake Peter Parker can’t afford.

60. Those at HYDRA might take delight in these Red Skull marshmallow pops.

Yes, they look like red marshmallows with faces on them. Kind of makes Red Skull seem like a lovable figure, which he’s not.

61. Nothing makes your Avengers party complete like this cake.

Man, this Avengers cake uses a lot of detail in this. Hulk is smashing through walls while Iron Man is just hanging out.

62. In this galaxy, there’s nothing more worth munching on than Groot cookies.

I’m sure some pastry mechanism was involved with this one. Still, these are Groot- I mean great.

63. For a smashing good time, try some Hulk pops.

Not sure are marshmallow or cake pops. Either way, they seem rather easy to make since they’re green with sprinkle hair.

64. Nothing graces not your appetizer platter like Thor hammer snacks.

Okay, I might’ve shown these before. However, those had other cheeses and meat. These ones are mostly of cheddar.

65. For a healthy appetite, try something from this Spider Man fruit salad.

Yes, this fruit salad in the form of Spider Man. And it’s filled with apple slices, pineapple, strawberries, and grapes.

66. What’s more awesome in Guardians of the Galaxy than Awesome Music Mix Vol. 1? Well, this cake.

Okay, I’m kidding about that one. The music from that film practically made the movie. Still, this is a really awesome cake.

67. No Iron Man party should ever go without these hand cookies.

Yes, I put up Iron Man hand cookies before. But these don’t use any icing.

68. These Avengers cake pops are surely well assembled.

Includes Hulk, Iron Man, Yhor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Nick Fury. Apparently, Hawkeye isn’t nearly as popular to have one, is he?

69. This Mjolnir cake should only be for the birthday of whom is worthy.

I know I’ve posted a Thor hammer cake before in last year’s birthday cake post. Still, at least this one doesn’t resemble anything phallic. At least as I see it.

70. There’s nothing more smashing green at a party than this Hulk face cake.

Sure it may not look quite like Mark Ruffalo. But still, this cake looks really pissed.

71. At Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, every meal is served with some Cyclops bread.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Cyclops is the most popular character on X-Men. Because despite being married to Jean Grey, most fans would rather see her with Wolverine.

72. To celebrate a birthday at S.H.I.E.L.D., this is the kind of cake to mark the occasion.

Now we know the kind of cake someone should get for Nick Fury’s birthday party. After all, even though S.H.I.E.L.D. is a secret organization, its logo appears everywhere.

73. For your fiesta, you can’t do without your very own Captain America nacho tray.

Includes two colors of chips, dip, and some cherry tomatoes. Not sure if Captain America eats Mexican though.

74. You can’t have a patriotic party without a quintessential Captain America shield cake.

Well, this is probably the kind of Captain America cake you’d get at a bakery. I suppose the others were custom made.

75. Those who like X-Men might like these punk Storm cake pops.

Let’s just say that Storm didn’t always stick to the same hairstyle over the years. Still, she looks better without a mohawk.

76. Grace your Marvel dessert platter with these Captain America shield cookies.

Okay, this is another set of Captain America cookies. But these don’t have icing as you see.

77. For a feast at Vahalla, you can’t possibly do without some Odin bread.

Surprised that I couldn’t find many treats associated with Loki since he’s a rather popular character. In the movies, Odin is kind of a jerk (though he’s a better guy than in the myths).

78. Anyone into Deadpool might want to get a taste of these mask cookies.

Yes, this is another set of Deadpool cookies. But these mask ones look quite different from the others. So they count.

79. Those who are into Spider Man vs. Venom might appreciate this cake.

Sure Venom may seem like Spider Man in a black suit. However, he’s not and he’s far worse than that.

80. At Asgard, there’s no worthy sustenance than some Thor hammer snacks.

These include Ritz crackers, cheese lightning bolts, grapes, and pretzel sticks. And I ensure they’re worthy snacks for a Norse god.

81. Each of the Avengers get a piece of this cake.

As long it’s Hulk, Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man. Because they’re the most significant in the Marvel Comics franchise.

82. Nothing makes a Spidey party better than this Spider Man cake.

This one is a cake of Spider Man’s face. And it comes with some web cupcakes. Looks pretty neat.

83. Your Avengers baby shower simply can’t happen without these cookies.

Of course, I’m sure the Avengers weren’t wearing such outfits when they were little. Still, these are cute.

84. When it comes to Guardians of the Galaxy, these Awesome Music Vol. 1 cookies would make a fine addition to your dessert platter.

Because nothing says Guardians of the Galaxy like its awesome music soundtrack. Nevertheless, these are great.

85. Start your breakfast with whole Groot muffins.

Well, these are just muffins with eyes in them. And they’re uneven for Groot’s hair. So cute.

86. Nothing packs the punch like some Hulk hand cake pops.

Yes, these are little Hulk hand cake pops. Not good for smashing. Though they might be delicious.

87. These Avengers cupcakes are surely well assembled.

Includes The Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Spider Man, and Loki. Sure Loki is a bad guy. But you can’t help but like him.

88. On your Spidey shack platter, you can’t go without some Spider Man gouda.

Well, these shells have webs to match Spider Man’s spider suit. Kind of clever if you think about it.

89. For a Mexican treat in the galaxy, perhaps take a bite out of a Groot churo.

I’m sure the dirt is made from pudding and Oreos that you can dip churo Groot in. Still, this is quite clever.

90. No Iron Man dinner is complete without some Iron Man pizza.

Well, this one seems to have the suit down quite right. Like how they used onion for the heart.

91. There’s nothing more soft and fluffy than some Hail HYDRA bread.

Well, this looks pretty disgusting. Still, I’m sure the people at HYDRA enjoy this in their cafeteria.

92. Get ironed up for this Iron Man cake.

This one seems to have a reactor light inside. Probably not edible. But I’m sure the rest of cake is.

93. For a special Avengers treat, taste some of these Black Widow dark chocolate pinata cookies.

And these are filled with Mini M&M’s. At least Black Widow has a great treat like this if you ask me.

94. There’s nothing grander at a party in Asgard than these chocolate Thor hammers.

All you need are chocolate, pretzel sticks, and possibly marshmallows. Serve only whom is worthy.

95. If you like Marvel, then you’ll sure adore these cupcakes.

I’m sure these were professionally made with all the detail. Nevertheless, they’re pretty cool if you ask me.

96. Delight your Spider Man party guests with these Spidey pizza bites.

These are covered with tomato sauce, cheese, and olives. Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Spider Man.

97. This Marvel cake seems very full of color.

Since it has at least 2 Avengers as well as sound effects galore. Love the bright colors.

98. Get a patriotic healthy taste with this Captain America fruit platter.

Yes, this is another Captain America fruit dish. However, this one has marshmallows and dip.

99. No Marvel superhero party is complete without these Deadpool cupcakes.

I don’t know much about Deadpool. But I hear he’s really popular. Also, these cupcakes have red filling and chocolate icing for the mask.

100. Finally, there’s no better Guardians of the Galaxy treat out of this world than these chocolate Groots.

And here they all are in their pudding cups. Made from pretzels, marshmallow, and chocolate. Adorable.

DC Comics Treats from Wayne Manor

Posted by historymaniacmegan on March 21, 2016

TheDarkKnight1186

When it comes to comic book superhero movies, the food doesn’t get a lot of attention. But if the superhero is very rich, then there will probably be a party at some point in the film. And let’s just say, parties almost always have to have food. For instance, while Bruce Wayne normally spends nights fighting crime in Gotham City as Batman, there are some nights when he can’t put on his bat suit. Because as one Gotham City’s richest and leading citizens, Bruce Wayne has a lot of social obligations he can’t avoid. Hosting parties at Wayne Manor as well as attending them elsewhere is among them. After all, Bruce Wayne is very much a public figure in Gotham City and that’s what public figures do. And figuring that Bruce Wayne spends a lot of time in his batcave and fighting bad guys, you probably can assume he doesn’t have much role in the party planning. So I can guess that the party planning job most likely goes to Alfred or someone else. Nevertheless, somehow there’s some party or another in almost every Batman film. Still, outside the movies, it’s not unusual for many fans to have superhero themed parties with such themed treats. A lot of these tend to pertain to young boys but not always. Besides, while superhero fans tend to be stereotyped as male nerds, they tend to have a lot of mainstream popularity spanning over generations since the 1940s. How else could you ever explain why The Dark Knight did so well at the box office? Sure the nerds might be the ones reading the comic books. But it’s not just them watching the movies, TV shows, or cartoons. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of DC Comics inspired treats. And be sure to catch Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice which comes out in theaters on Friday, March 25. Also, most of these will be Batman and Superman by the way.

No Batman themed party should ever be without a cake of the Caped Crusader.

I have to admit that’s an awesome cake that any big fan would want. I’m sure it’ professionally made and doesn’t come cheap.

2. Any die hard Batman fan is bound to appreciate a cake like this.

This one is of the batcave and Wayne Manor. And I see that the Batmobile is down the road. Like the bats on this though.

3. Batman fans in Japan might take delight in some of Gotham City’s finest sushi.

Okay, maybe I’m being a little stereotypical. But I couldn’t resist showing off such sushi with the Batman sign. That’s clever.

4. Cookies like these can go with any Batman cake.

These Batman cookies were inspired by the comics. Still, I like the ones with the bat signal.

5. No Superman party is complete without these super cookies.

Yes, these are Superman cookies with the Superman symbol. Not sure what it means on Krypton though.

6. For a super healthy snack, this Superman fruit tray has got you covered.

This one contains pineapple and strawberries. Sure it’s not a lot of variety. But Superman’s symbol only comes in 2 colors.

7. A pizza like this can surely do a man of steel justice in Metropolis.

This is a Superman pepperoni pizza. May not be the healthiest thing for you. But I surely appreciate the artistry here.

8. Those who love homicidal clowns would surely adore a cake like this.

This one features Harley Quinn and the Joker who have their fans. However, not sure why anyone in their right mind would get a cake like this.

9. No DC Comics superhero party could be complete without these Justice League cupcakes.

Although I can’t tell you who some of these people are, these do look great. So creative.

10. Whenever Gotham City is in need, they could just flash a bat signal.

Well, this is great bat signal cake. However, when you see this during a party at Wayne Manor, don’t be surprised if your host decides to leave early. Wonder how often that’s happened.

11. Batman cheese sandwiches are bound to make a great Gotham worthy lunch.

On one side you have cheese bat sandwiches. On the other you have cheese bats. Which to choose?

12. Grace your Gotham dessert platter with these Batman cookies.

These are Batman sugar cookies with the Batman symbol on them. Will go well with the bat signal cake I showed earlier.

13. Seems like Batman landed his helicopter on this birthday cake.

Not sure if the chopper is edible. However, I think this cake is pretty cool if you ask me.

14. No Superman party could ever be complete without a super cake like this.

As you see, this cake is for a 40 year old man. Yet, it’s one that shows Superman’s symbol, Metropolis, and some rocks.

15. Nothing makes an awesome Batman party at Gotham City than a cake like this.

Sure this isn’t a cake that comes cheap. But it sure looks awesome to look at.

16. When it comes to Justice League cakes, take your pick.

Includes Green Lantern, Superman, Batman, and the Flash. Guess which 2 will sell the most.

17. Your wonderful superhero party could never be without some Wonder Woman heart cookies.

Not sure what to think of how Wonder Woman’s outfit could be made into heart cookies. But these are quite clever, nevertheless.

18. Now this is a lunch fit for a child in Gotham City.

This batman bento includes fruit bats and a sandwich Batman. I’m sure any kid would appreciate it.

19. No baby shower party in Gotham could ever be a hit without a cake like this.

Not sure what to think about a Batman themed baby shower. Then again, I suppose there could be more inappropriate themes like the Hunger Games.

20. Those with a grittier sense of cuisine might appreciate a Batman cake like this.

I think this one might be inspired by The Dark Knight Trilogy. But you can never be sure.

21. Nothing makes the ultimate Superman party like these cupcakes.

Not only do they have blue, yellow, and red filling, they also have green stuff on them. That’s supposed to be Kryptonite. So Superman probably can’t eat these, even if it’s his own birthday.

22. A Superman fruit tray is sure to be a hit at any super party.

Includes pineapple, watermelon, and blueberries. Still, quite an improvement than the last Superman fruit tray.

23. At a super barbecue, you can’t go wrong with these Superman cheeseburgers.

Nevertheless, these require you to put American cheese on the burger since you’ll need to use ketchup with the details. At my house, my parents usually put the cheese on the buns.

24. To go with your Justice League cupcakes, this cake will make a perfect addition.

This one consists of Superman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Wonder Woman, and Batman. Certainly professionally made. And certainly not cheap.

25. Wonder what’s inside this Riddler cake? Perhaps I’ll never know.

Seems to me that the Riddler is a very popular Batman villain, next to the Joker and Harley Quinn, of course. Still, like how the hat has a question mark.

26. Desserts like these will surely make your Wonder Woman party a blast.

Guess this is for someone who’s turning 50. Still, like how some cupcakes are blue while others are red.

27. A cake like this is fitting for any dark knight in Gotham.

Other than needing to get something for the bat signal, this sheet cake almost seems doable. Like the flour effects on this, too.

28. Grace your super dessert platter with these Superman Rice Krispie treats.

Seems like almost ever treat post I’ve done includes at least one thing pertaining to Rice Krispies. This is no exception, apparently.

29. When it comes to Batman cakes in Gotham City, you can’t get more awesome than this.

This depicts Batman watching over Gotham City. Guess this is for some little kid with very rich Batman fans for parents.

30. These Justice League cake pops would make a fine addition to any DC Comics superhero dessert platter.

I also tend to include at least one cake pops treat as well. These consist of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Robin, Wonder Woman, and the Flash.

31. You can’t have a Superman party without cookies like these.

Includes Superman, Superman’s symbol, Metropolis and lit bombs. Let’s hope Superman disposes the bombs safely like in the water.

32. For a Wonder Woman party, cupcakes like these will surely cause a sensation.

And yes, they seem to emulate her outfit. Still, I think these are quite clever if you ask me.

33. Seems like Batman is on top of the bat signal.

And I guess Robin can see it. However, I’m not sure if Batman can. Still, this cake is great.

34. A party needing evil laughs can’t go wrong with this Joker cake.

This one seems to depict him in a jester hat. Nevertheless, he’s his usual terrifying self as always.

35. At any Batman party in Gotham City, no dessert platter can do without Two-Face pretzels.

Called such because one half is blue and the other is yellow. But let’s just say Two-Face is no longer a decent fellow.

36. Within this cake lies a legend.

This one depicts Clark Kent changing into Superman. He always wears his suit underneath since he’ll never know where a hero may be in need.

37. For a healthy snack, this Wonder Woman fruit salad might be what you’re looking for.

This watermelon is shaped like Wonder Woman’s symbol. And many fruits are on skewers with watermelon stars.

38. No super cake could be as majestic as one of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

It’s Superman’s place of solace in the Arctic. However, it’s varied from place to place. And I think Superman might need to find a new one because this Fortress of Solitude is threatened by a menace called climate change.

39. A Flash fruit platter will surely help you health quite fast.

Maybe not at the speed of light. But it's no doubt healthy.

Maybe not at the speed of light. But it’s no doubt good for you.

40. For any party at Paradise Island, this Wonder Woman cake can’t be beat.

Inspired by her outfit, it contains her tiara and her Lasso of Truth. Still, I think some fans might enjoy this.

41. Those who like a DC Comics superhero from under the sea, might like a cookie of Aquaman.

Compared to a lot of cookies I've seen this is quite ornate. However, I don't come across anything Aquaman that often. So it goes on this post.

Compared to a lot of cookies I’ve seen this is quite ornate. However, I don’t come across anything Aquaman very often. So it goes on this post.

42. Any little Wonder Woman is bound to enjoy a cake like this.

This one has Wonder Woman’s outfit with a skirt. And it includes wrist cuffs and tiara.

43. For a simple cake design in Gotham, this is the Batman cake for you.

It’s a 2 iered white cake icing cake with a bat on it. Probably professionally made though.

44. If you like the Green Lantern, then this is the cake for you.

Includes a Green Lantern mask and a green lantern. Still, I’m sure fans might enjoy this.

45. No party favors could compare at your super party than these Superman chocolate pops.

Well, they’re just chocolate Superman logos. Probably professionally made but they’re in a tray though.

46. Any boy wonder can always do with a Robin lunch.

It’s main course is a Robin sandwich. Sure it’s not as good as Batman. But I still think it’s quite clever.

47. No wonder lunch could ever compare to this one of Wonder Woman.

Sure it’s over some rice. But I think this is quite cute. Not sure what happened to her legs.

48. Fruit salad like this is always suitable for any caped crusader.

This is a Batman fruit salad. The fact that the watermelon has the Bat symbol cut into it should be obvious.

49. Apparently, the Bank of Gotham City is under assault.

I guess this cake is for a kid since the figures in here are so cute. Includes Batman, Robin, Joker, Harley Quinn, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy.

50. At any Superman party, you always need to have some Kryptonite candy crystals on hand.

Yes, these candy crystals might taste good. But for Superman, they could be the death of him.

51. Who said that superhero parties are for boys?

This a girl cake that includes Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman. And yes, it’s adorable.

52. No little superheroine’s party is ever complete without these Wonder Woman cookies.

These are cookies of Wonder Woman’s trademark outfit. Nevertheless, do they ever have cookies of the batsuit or Superman’s uniform? I’m not sure.

53. These baby superhero cookies are guaranteed to delight.

These consist of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. And yes, they’re quite adorable.

54. Sometimes a Batman cake can just be yellow with a symbol.

Out of all the Batman cakes shown so far, this one seems the most doable. But it’s still rather well made.

55. A Superman themed party can always use a super snack tray like this.

This one consists of baby hot dogs, cheese, and blueberries. Still, you have to appreciate this.

56. When it comes to entrees, Batman pizza is a Gotham specialty.

This pizza is topped with 2 cheeses and a lot of olives. Because the Batman symbol is in black and yellow.

57. At any Gotham dinner, it always helps to serve a slice of Batman bread.

This is just bread that has a Batman symbol inside. And yes, it looks quite awesome.

58. For a more tart taste, there are sour Kryptonite candy crystals.

These are the sour candies that present Superman’s only weakness. Because Kryptonite comes from his home planet.

59. Wonder what’s inside these Riddler canes.

I suppose they’re the popular sandwich cookie that consist of a creamy filling between 2 chocolate cookies. Of course, I could be wrong.

60. Nothing makes a Superman party better than a dessert dish of Kryptonite jello.

Or worse, if you’re Superman. Because if you’re him, Kryptonite is nothing to joke about.

Okay, it’s a Harley Quinn cake. But even though Harley doesn’t seem too bright sitting on a bomb, it’s kind of cute.

Harley Quinn may have only been in the Batman franchise since the 1990s. but she’s highly popular. After all, they make cakes like this of her.

I think this might be a Batman quesadilla since it’s seems to consist of a tortilla with olives. But I’m not sure.

This tray consists of Batman, Batman symbol, the bat signal, Catwoman, Joker, Two-Face, Bane, and comic sound effects. Still, these are certainly professionally made.

84. These Wonder Woman macarons surely have stars.

Well, they’re listed as Wonder Woman macarons on Pinterest. But they could easily be for 4th of July if made by then.

Maybe not as fast as the Flash. But I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be in a long line for a piece.

These cheese on these is quite batty though. But it’s probably quite tasty since it’s cheddar.

Includes Wonder Woman symbols, stars on blue, and her tiara. I’m sure these are professionally made, by the way.

I’m sure she’s not very edible. However, the rest of the cake probably is. Well, if you don’t count the tiara.

97. This little Justice League cake is one for the kids.

And it seems that Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman got in a little scuffle. But the Flash seems to be all right because he’s so fast.

Yes, this is a Batman and Superman cake. Since there’s a movie about them not getting along, I thought I’d save it for last.

Feast in the Great Hall with These Harry Potter Treats

Posted by historymaniacmegan on March 15, 2016

hogwarts-vday

The wizarding world of Harry Potter has all kinds of food and places to eat. At Hogwarts, the Great Hall always has food magically prepared on one’s dish as well as a feast on both the start and end of the terms as well as on Halloween and Christmas. Sure the food may be prepared by house elves but they don’t talk about it much. Outside Hogwarts, you have places like the Leaky Cauldron and Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor at Diagon Alley as well as a few in Hogsmeade like the Three Broomsticks Inn, the Hog’s Head (which is tended by Dumbledore’s brother), and Honeydukes Sweetshop. You also had the tea cart on the Hogwarts Express. As for cuisine, well, you have butterbeer, treacle tarts, pumpkin juice, chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, and others. Sure some of the food might seem strange to us muggles, but when it comes to eating in the wizarding world, the scene isn’t as bad as in other fictional worlds. I mean what you’d see in Star Wars where some of the bars are filled with dirt bags and you don’t know what’s being served. And in the Hunger Games, once you’re outside the Capitol and the wealthy districts, large populations are basically starving. Nevertheless, as in other fandoms, there are plenty of fans who make Harry Potter inspired treats for their own themed parties. So for your reading pleasure, I bring you a treasure trove of magical Harry Potter treats.

Nothing makes a Harry Potter party like cauldron cake pops.

I might've had cauldron cake pops in one of my Halloween treat posts. But these were made in the Harry Potter speciality.

I might’ve had cauldron cake pops in one of my Halloween treat posts. But these were made in the Harry Potter specialty.

2. In the wizarding world, it helps that croissants are shaped like hats.

Well, witches’ hats anyway. Because apparently, people in the Harry Potter world wear hats like these despite that it would’ve made them prone to witch burnings in the 17th century.

3. If you loved the Prisoner of Azkaban, then you might take to a cake like this.

This is a cake depicting Harry riding Buckbeak. It’s professionally made for display. But it’s very well sculpted.

4. Those who might remember Hogsmeade might remember the Hog’s Head.

This is the cake of the Hog’s Head. It’s the bar in Hogsmeade that’s run by Dumbledore’s brother Aberforth. Apparently, they weren’t on good terms.

5. For your Harry Potter delights, nothing makes such a treat than a Hogwarts cake.

Now this was certainly done by a professional and probably doesn’t come cheap. Still, it’s very amazing to look at if you ask me.

6. For those wizards who love chocolate, it doesn’t get any magical than this.

And even if you don’t have a happy birthday, at least you won’t have to worry about dementors coming. Because they can really bum a party.

7. For a lunch on the go, you can’t cast the wrong spell with a Harry Potter bento box.

I’m sure you’d have to microwave this before eating at lunch. But this is so cute.

8. Get yourself sorted for your Harry Potter party with some Sorting hat bread.

Okay, maybe bread might not bring out the Sorting Hat’s best features. But this is quite creative regardless.

9. Speaking of the Sorting Hat, it helps if your surround it with cupcakes.

This is another professionally made cake. But I like the Harry Potter cupcakes surrounding it.

10. Now these are the perfect hotdog rolls for a Slytherin barbecue.

Because their symbol is a snake. Still, I’m not sure if any of the Slytherins had a hotdog, since Hogwarts is in Britain. But if Hogwarts existed in the US, they would.

11. Licorice wands always make a magically tasty treat.

Then again, I’m not a big fan of licorice. But I think this is quite creative to say the least.

12. When it comes to gingerbread architecture, it doesn’t get more amazing than Hogwarts.

I know it’s on top of a cake. But this gingerbread Hogwarts is a wonder to look at.

13. When it comes to Hogwarts spirit, it always counts what’s on the inside.

And as you see, this cake may have white icing. But it has all the Hogwarts house colors inside.

14. If you love breadsticks, these broomsticks are just the ticket.

You might expect Hogwarts to serve breadsticks like these. Mostly because they resemble brooms. Get it?

15. Those who adore Dobby might enjoy a cake like this.

Dobby likes seeing a cake in his likeness. Dobby thinks the maker is too kind. Dobby is in tears.

16. For your fruit tray, there’s nothing more fitting in the wizarding world than a watermelon owl.

Sure it may not resemble Hedwig. But at any Harry Potter party, this would do just fine.

17. Hop aboard the Hogwarts Express with this cake.

Yes, there’s a cake for it the train as well. Then again, the Hogwarts Express is a nice looking train.

18. Brew something special like these cauldron cakes.

These have something green in them. Hope it’s icing. If it’s not, I don’t want to know.

19. For a simple Harry Potter cake, I’m sure this would suffice.

This one just has a Gryffindor tie, Harry’s glasses, and HP lettering. Seems quite doable if you ask me.

20. For Professor Sprout’s birthday, these mandrake cupcakes are a perfect treat.

Sure mandrakes might look creepy to some extent. But these cupcakes are so clever that I had to include them.

21. Support your Hogwarts House with these Harry Potter cookies.

Well, they’re professionally made sugar cookies. But you have to love how they’re designed.

22. Of course, when it comes to cauldron cakes, there’s always the double chocolate option.

At least the dementors won’t go near these things. Which is perfectly fine by me since I love chocolate.

23. When it comes to a birthday at Hogwarts, there’s no better befitting cake like this.

Yes, this is a Hogwarts crest cake. And I’m sure it will go well with those Hogwarts house cookies I showed earlier.

24. Wonder what house you belong in? Maybe try these Sorting Hat cake pops.

Yes, these are Sorting Hat cake pops. Not sure what I’d think about it. Personally, I think the Sorting Hat is kind of creepy.

25. Anyone familiar with Harry Potter should remember a cake like this.

This is meant to resemble the cake Hagrid gave Harry on his 11th birthday and told him that he’s a wizard. Yes, I know there are words mispelled. But that’s deliberate.

26. If you love the Weasleys, then you’ll adore this gingerbread Burrow.

Sure it might not look like much but it’s home. Still, I really think this is brilliant.

27. If you like Hedwig, then you’ll love this owl cake.

Yes, this is a Hedwig cake. And yes, it’s adorable and lovely as you can see.

28. These Harry Potter cake pops are simply magical.

Because these cake pops are of Harry Potter. I’m sure some of you might find them a bit creepy. But I have to put them on this post.

29. To go with your Hedwig cake, these Hedwig cookies will suit you just fine.

These seem to have 3 variations of icing. But I think they’re adorable.

30. If you love Quidditch, then you’ll enjoy a cake like this.

Sure the pieces might not be edible. But this cake seems pretty easy to make compared to some of the others.

31. For a magical party, grace your dessert platter with these Harry Potter cupcakes.

Well, these cupcakes contain stuff relating to the Harry Potter series. And they’re in a variety of different colors.

32. For a magical breakfast, you can’t go wrong with Deathly Hallows pancakes.

I don’t know about you. But they sure don’t look much like pancakes to me. Maybe that’s the point.

33. If you don’t like cheese brooms, may I suggest potato sticks instead?

Besides, potato sticks help the pretzel brooms stand up by themselves. However, they might require thicker pretzels.

34. Serve your Harry Potter dessert platter with these witches’ hat cones.

Well, they’re on top of cupcakes. But each one has a lightning bolt so you’d know that they’re inspired by Harry Potter.

35. When it comes to Harry Potter cupcakes, these ones are sure to have your favorite characters.

These include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Snape, Draco, and Voldemort. Also has a Death Eater, a Golden Snitch, and a wand.

36. For as simple dessert, these owl cookies are just the key.

These are sugar cookies with markings, chocolate chip eyes, and a pretzel nose. And they’re adorable.

37. Any seeker is bound to appreciate these Golden Snitch cake pops.

Thought the Golden Snitches should have bigger wings. Oh, well at least they got the basics right.

38. This Chamber of Secrets cake has been opened.

As you might know from Book 2, the Chamber of Secrets is accessible through a girls’ bathroom. Particularly the one Moaning Myrtle was in where she died.

39. For a simple Hedwig cake, this would be what you’re waiting for.

For some reason, this Hedwig cake appears to resemble one angry bird. Not sure why.

40. If you love Harry Potter, then you’ll certainly fall in love with this cake.

I’m sure this one was made by a professional or someone with too much time on their hands. But all in all, I think it’s quite a remarkable cake. Love the Hedwig in a cage.

41. These owl pretzels will surely make a tasty treat.

This pretzel is covered in white icing and black sprinkes. And it sports eyes of Oreos and brows of licorice.

42. This Golden Snitch cake will open at the close.

Of course, you might wonder why I’m putting up all this cake stuff. However, all I have to say is that sometimes you have to take what you can get.

43. Open up this book cake, and you’ll never know what you’d find inside.

Yes, this book cake has Hogwarts in it as well as a wand and Gryffindor scarf. But it sure looks magical, indeed.

44. On a Hogwarts cake like this, each house has its own layer.

As you see, Gryffindor is at the bottom while Slytherin is on top. Not sure to know what that means.

45. This cake is bound to give you a great view of the Hogwarts grounds.

While some cakes features Hogwarts, this one has Hagrid's hut, the Forbidden Forest, the lake, and more. Love it.

While some cakes features Hogwarts, this one has Hagrid’s hut, the Forbidden Forest, the lake, the Whomping Willow, and more. Love it.

46. Find which Hogwarts house you belong in with these Sorting Hat cupcakes.

And it seems whoever opened this cupcake is in Slytherin. Still, at least they’re chocolate.

47. Those who love Harry and his friends will surely like a bento lunch like this.

That is, unless they’re vegetarians. Because I think I see that Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s faces are on some ham.

48. If you like Hermione, then you might like a cake of her bag.

Seriously, Hermione has the coolest purse ever which she can put as much stuff as she wants in it. This is very helpful in the Deathly Hallows.

49. For monster fun at your Harry Potter party, may I recommend the Monster Book of Monsters?

It’s the kind of textbook that’s more uncontrollable than most domestic animals. And yes, there’s a certain way you have to open it.

50. For simple treats on your magical dessert platter, these cupcake owls are a hoot.

And they seem to come in white and dark. Also like their eyes.

51. If you enjoyed the Wizard Chess match in the Sorcerer’s Stone, you might like this cake.

Just remember that Wizard’s Chess is far more gorier than its Muggle counterpart. I mean these pieces actually attack each other.

52. Those who love Quidditch might like this cake case.

It’s where they keep the Quidditch balls. Note how the Bludgers are chained so they won’t get out.

53. For a treat worth hooting for, try these graham cracker owls.

Sure the nose is made from candy corn which is sugar wax. But these are cute.

54. For a golden treat, you can’t go wrong with Golden Snitch truffles.

Of course, truffles are rather expensive. Yet, they appear to be filled with chocolatey goodness.

55. If you’re a fan of Snape, then you’ll surely enjoy this bento lunch.

Seems like Snape isn’t having a great day. Then again, when does he ever have a good day?

56. “This is the slice of the Deathly Hallows.”

According to Pinterest, this is supposed to be pizza. According to me, it’s bread. One of us must be wrong.

57. How about all the horcruxes on one cupcake?

Well, except for Harry, of course. But he’s still represented as you see.

58. Kids, you might not want to look at this calzone in the eye.

Because it’s a basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets. So if you look directly into the olive eyes, you’ll instantly die.

59. Funny, Harry and Snape seem to be getting along well in this bento.

Which is strange because Snape hates Harry because he had a thing for his mom. And Harry doesn’t care for Snape because he’s such a jerk to him.

60. When making cheese pretzel brooms, sometimes you don’t need the string.

Well, if you use string cheese. Still, you have to wonder why string cheese isn’t used for cheese brooms more often.

61. Any Death Eater with a sweet tooth is bound to enjoy these Dark Mark lollipops.

Available in 5 different flavors. How disturbing if you ask me. But I wasn’t consulted.

62. Any smart magical girl is bound to enjoy this Hermione dish.

I think this is more of a lunch dish. Yet, you have to like her pasta curly hair.

63. Nothing makes a better addition to your magical dessert platter than pensieve jello.

In Harry Potter, the pensieve is a pool where wizards put their memories in. And it’s to draw them out to retrieve them.

64. On this cake, Hedwig will spread her wings.

Let’s hope Hedwig didn’t leave a little present for Harry on that stack of books. Then again, Hedwig’s bowel movements don’t seemed to be discussed much in the series.

65. Relive the magic of Harry Potter on your dessert platter with these cookies.

Includes Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hedwig, a cauldron, the Deathly Hallows, a witch hat, the Dark Mark, and more. Not sure why the Dark Mark is included.

66. If you liked the Chamber of Secrets, you might enjoy a cake of Tom Riddle’s diary.

Which Harry stabbed with a basilisk fang. He did this after killing the basilisk with the Sword of Gryffindor he pulled out of the Sorting Hat.

67. This Harry Potter sandwich would make a perfectly magical lunch.

Yes, it’s a Harry Potter lunch. Think it’s a pita bread sandwich with Harry’s face on it. But I’m not sure.

68. Those who enjoy Fred and George’s jokes might treat themselves to some cockroach clusters.

Sure cockroach clusters are marketed as Harry Potter treats. But when I hear about them, I think of Monty Python.

69. Now this is the kind of Hogwarts lunch that’s fit for any wizard in training.

This one even has rice squares from all 4 houses. If these were sandwiches, Slytherin’s would have guacamole.

70. For your Harry Potter snack platter, a cheesy owl is all you need at the center.

Sure this owl may be a bit white and yellow. But it sure looks tasty being surrounded by crackers.

71. For a magical lunch, nothing beats Harry and his owl.

Yes, here’s Harry hanging with his owl Hedwig. Nevertheless, it’s so cute.

72. For all you Despicable Me lovers out there, this minion Harry Potter cake is a real treat.

Sure minions may want to serve an evil master. But this is adorable.

These are cake pops that pertain to Harry Potter. These consist of a lightning bolt, Hedwig, Gryffindor colors, HP, Harry’s glasses, and the Golden Snitch.

74. For some great wizard candy, you can’t go wrong with quill lollipops.

Yeah, lollipops of a kind of writing implement used in the 1700s at perhaps the latest. Yet, they somehow used these at Hogwarts.

75. For all you Quidditch lovers out there, this cake is for you.

This one depicts Harry Potter catching the Golden Snitch. Not sure which book this is from though.

76. When it comes to Harry Potter cakes, you can’t hate these.

Many of these depict the characters. Yet, I don’t understand why the largest two have to be of Harry and Draco Malfoy. Guess this is for a baby party. In that case, the larger Draco cake makes sense.

77. For a more rustic atmosphere, this Hagrid’s hut gingerbread is just the ticket.

Seems like this one is from Prisoner of Azkaban. And there’s Buckbeak in the pumpkin patch. Let’s hope he doesn’t get killed.

78. These Harry Potter cake pops surely have a lot of magical character.

These consist of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Hedwig, Dobby, a broomstick, a book of spells, and a Golden Snitch. Still, these are great.

79. As you see, these cookies are the colors of their respective houses.

Apparently, the hardest one on this is perhaps the Hogwarts crest. The other cookies seem easy.

80. For a magical meal, you can’t beat some lightning bolt pizza.

Because Harry’s scar is shaped as a lightning bolt. From some pizzeria in Liverpool, by the way.

81. When it comes to casting a spell, few can resist a Harry Potter sandwich.

These consist of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. And I swear your kids are going to love these.

82. Nothing makes lunch more enchanting than this Harry Potter bento lunch.

Seems like the main course in this is a Deathly Hallows sandwich. Still, I think it’s clever.

83. When it comes to Harry Potter birthdays, Snape is not impressed.

And yes, I read the cake in the late Alan Rickman’s voice. I don’t know about you, but I find this funny.

84. No Harry Potter party is complete without a Harry Potter pizza.

And it seems like Harry Potter has been attacked by the dreaded basilisk. Just not the one from the Chamber of Secrets.

85. Why have a Hogwarts gingerbread house when you can have a gingerbread castle?

Yes, this is another Hogwarts gingerbread castle. But this is is quite a wonder to behold, too.

86. As you know Hogwarts’ motto goes, “Never tickle a sleeping dragon.”

This Hogwarts crest on this cake seems more official looking than the last one I put on this post. But I like it.

87. Another famous Harry Potter candy is chocolate frogs.

In Harry Potter, they come in boxes with trading cards on them. Still, at least they don’t have real frogs in them.

88. Show your house spirit with these Hogwarts house tie cookies.

Each one is in their respective colors. The Hogwarts one is in the center.

89. Seems like this Hogwarts cake has seen better days.

Wonder what happened here? Battle of Hogwarts? Fred and George escaped from the tower after turning a corridor into a swamp? Someone had a mishap with a spell?

90. I’m sure nobody could resist the spell of these Harry Potter cookies.

These consist of Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Sorting Hat, a mandrake, Hedwig in a cage, Gryffindor colors, and a potion. Still, these are cute.

91. At Honeydukes, it’s said you can get yourself some peppermint toads.

Peppermint toads are also candies from Harry Potter. However, I’m not sure how toads and peppermint go together.

92. Now this is the kind of Burrow house you’d see in the Weasley home.

Yes, it’s another Burrow gingerbread house. But you’d imagine Mrs. Weasley making this on Christmas instead of the other one.

93. For magical dishes, you can’t resist the enchantment of these.

Includes Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid. Nevertheless, these are adorable.

94. When it comes to a gingerbread Hogwarts, it can’t do without a gingerbread Platform 9 3/4.

You mean they have a gingerbread Hogwarts Express, too? Man, this is just awesome.

95. For easy treats, you can’t go wrong with Deathly Hallows cookies.

Just as long as you don’t invite Vicktor Krum to your party. Because he associates this symbol with the mark of Grindewald.

96. In Harry Potter some things just seem to last forever.

Like Snape’s love for Lily as this cake commemorates. Still, I like the owl on it since it almost looks real.

97. These cauldron cake pops seem to be on fire.

Sure they may not specifically pertain to Harry Potter. But he does have potions class which might have cauldrons like these.

98. Surely a Slytherin picnic has to have a snake sandwich.

After all, the snake is Slytherin’s symbol. Then again, it’s also a symbol for Voldemort and his Death Eaters. I mean the Dark Lord has a pet snake he keeps part of his soul in.

99. When it comes to Harry Potter parties, you can’t do better than a cake with Fawkes the Phoenix on it.

Well, on top, anyway. Nevertheless, I think this is a great cake if you ask me.

100. When it comes to Hogwarts, it doesn’t get better than how it looks during the winter.

Yes, it’s yet another gingerbread Hogwarts. But this one is surely spectacular like you can’t believe.

Easter Candy No One Likes in Their Baskets or Eggs

Posted by historymaniacmegan on February 25, 2016

FYF-855

Like Halloween, Easter has a long tradition pertaining to candy. After all, it’s what most kids find in their Easter baskets or inside their eggs (assuming they’re the plastic ones that open). And there are plenty of candies associated with Easter alone. I always enjoyed Easter egg hunts as a child whether it was in the front yard during the morning before church or at my grandparents’ house. I also participated in at least one in college. For a long time, egg hunts were one of the big reasons I looked forward to Easter as a kid. However, once I reached a certain age, it was time for me to bow out, especially since I’m the oldest of 24 grandchildren. And my participation wouldn’t be fair as an adult in a childish activity. I do help hide Easter eggs in my grandparents’ back yard for Easter and maybe help some of my cousins find the eggs. But somehow it’s not the same. Not to mention, since I’ve outgrown my eligibility for the Easter egg hunt at my grandparents’, Easter has become considerably less enjoyable for me since I’m mostly stuck socializing with relatives. Nevertheless, I can talk of all the Easter candies I like such as the chocolate bunny. But you’d probably be bored out of your mind that I wouldn’t get many views. So instead I’ll focus on Easter candy that most people don’t like. So without further adieu, I have this list for you. This has nothing to do with nutritional value but mostly quality of taste or whether it’s appropriate.

Pez- This candy is basically the poster child of products that aren’t as popular as their packaging. I mean the only reason why people buy Pez is because of the dispensers. But you’ll find nobody on earth who’d admit that these pocket size pills are tasty.

easter-pez-candy-packs-127510-im1

2. Marshmallow Peeps – Don’t get me wrong, I do like peeps. Just not for eating. However, these are just inedible sugar coated marshmallows that are basically inedible. At least they’re great for decorating and making amusing dioramas out of for annual contests. And they should be better used that way. That or putting them in the microwave to watch them explode, but let’s be honest, the end result might not be good for your microwave. The Houston Press has a different view, “We’ll be honest. These things? Terrify us. Spun sugar masquerading as multi-neon-colored marshmallow doesn’t come close to existing in nature. Therefore, it shall not exist in us. We shall henceforth refer to them as Creeps.”

marshmallow-peeps-10ct-choose-your-color-37

3. Marshmallow Carrot- From Houston Press: “Oh, come on. Mock carrot candy even makes vegetarians want to barf. Who was the brains behind this idea? Perhaps it was an entrepreneurial parent’s way to bait-and-switch a finicky child into eating more veggies. Too bad they suck, and now the kid hates candy, carrots and Easter. What’s next — Broccoli fluff? Good grief.”

4. Fluffy Cotton Tails- From Houston Press: “These things are basically the candy form of Jolt Cola: monstrously disgusting sugar bombs. An entire bag of cotton candy boiled down into bite-sized nuggets for you and yours. Avoid them as if your life depended on it.”

x354-q80

5. Cadbury Crème Eggs- From Houston Press: “Remember the commercials in which the Easter Bunny gives birth to the Cadbury Crème Eggs? And then they open them up to reveal sugary, yolk-colored innards? Yeah. We still have nightmares, too. How these things have stayed on the market for so long is one of life’s greatest mysteries.”

6. Jordan Almonds- From Houston Press: “Hey kids, who wants to break a tooth? Because that’s a distinct possibility when you bite into an accursed Jordan almond, a tasty-sounding treat that’s simply an almond coated in sugar. Too bad the sugar coating tastes more like chalk than anything found in a kitchen, and the almonds contained within are generally flavorless. The reason they’re considered an Easter candy even though they can be purchased year-round is that they’re pastel-colored. And that’s about it. I guess they’re sort of egg-shaped, too, but in reality, Jordan almonds have about as much to do with Easter as a pebble. (The pebble might taste better, though.)”

7. Bunny Munny- I remember getting these as a kid. They’re basically chocolate coins with rice in them. But they don’t taste particularly great. Someone at the Houston Press commented, “This treat is particularly offensive to me because it masquerades as something delicious. Chocolate with a bit of crispy rice in it? What could possibly be bad about that? How about the fact that they unfortunately taste more like cardboard with a slight chocolate flavor than actual chocolate? They purport to be made with real chocolate, but if that’s true, why do they taste so unfortunate? And can we talk about how offensive that spelling of “munny” is to anyone older than 10? Don’t purposefully misspell candy names to be cute! No one thinks it’s cute! Sidenote: On the Candy Warehouse website, there is actually a disclaimer, ‘Sorry, these treats are not a valid form of U.S. currency.’ In case you were confused.”

8. Bunny Basket Eggs/Easter Hunt Eggs – From Houston Press: “Brach’s is perhaps the worst offender on this list, bringing us three of the ten worst candies, direct from their testing and manufacturing plant in some faraway land where no one has taste buds. Bunny Basket Eggs are the least offensive of the three, featuring, essentially, fake gummy marshmallows surrounded by a coating of bad jelly bean. They stick in your teeth. They melt in your plastic eggs. They get awkward jelly bean coating color on your fingers. And what do you get for your trouble? Nastiness. Pretty much just a hunk of sugar that tastes like artificial fruit and giving up.” Marshmallows and gummy bears are a disgusting combination.

brachs-bunny-basket-marshmallow-easter-eggs-wmm-125236

9. Jelly Beans- I used to get these a lot on Easter, too. And to me they’re just kidney shaped colored candies that seem to have absolutely none to a horrible taste. It’s like they put some flavor and color to some waxy and rubbery concoction. Disgusting. The ones in my basket usually went to the garbage. Yes, I know there are plenty of people who love jelly beans. Yet, but to me that’s like saying that plenty people like John Wayne, Twilight, Fifty Shades, Fast & Furious, or reality shows. Just because something might be popular doesn’t mean it’s good.

10. Chocolate Cross- Yes, I know we celebrate Easter to recognize Jesus’s resurrection after his crucifixion. But while I love chocolate on any holiday like Easter, there are just things that shouldn’t be in chocolate form. A cross should be one of these things because that’s what Jesus suffered and died on. Not to mention, crucifixion was an execution method in which ensured the victim would endure a long and agonizing death through bleeding and suffocation while being nailed to a large cross of wood. Jesus went through this and it wasn’t pleasant at all. Yes, I’m sure Christians are willing to buy foodstuffs like this for their kids’ Easter baskets, but is it really appropriate? And as a practicing Catholic and a chocolate lover, such cross would lead me struggling with temptation, followed by guilt after eating it (as well as relishing in its taste), if I ever received one. If you want to raise your kids as good Christian children, I suggest good Christian parents go with chocolate eggs and bunnies instead. Sure they’re secular symbols but they come with a very low risk of committing accidental sacrilege.

11. Brach’s Chicks & Rabbits – From Houston Press: “These are the items I as a child most dreaded finding in Easter baskets or stuffed unceremoniously into plastic eggs at parties. What would I do if someone presented me with a bright-orange hunk of eraser disguised as candy? Would I feign delight and eat it anyway, then risk melodramatically gagging and spitting it out at the feet of my gracious host? Would I tuck it away to later slip to a poor, unwitting canine? Would I throw it nonchalantly into someone else’s basket. I honestly don’t remember what I did with the damn things, but I guarantee you I didn’t eat them. Fool me once…and all that jazz. The flavor is listed as “marshmallow,” which, if you believe the multitude of flavored-vodka products out there is, in fact, a genuine flavor. But these don’t taste anything like marshmallows. They’re essentially the same material as those off-putting orange Circus Peanuts candies–soft so long as they’ve never touched oxygen, but instantly hardening into toothbreaking plaster once exposed to the elements. Worse still, the candies only vaguely resemble the eponymous chicks and rabbits. They’re much more akin to totem poles or idols used for some bizarre, decidedly not Easter-y ritual. Consume at your own risk.”

12. Easter Candy Corn – You got to be kidding me. They actually have this? These sugar wax candies aren’t even great on Halloween, let alone on any other holiday like Easter. Not to mention, they even look more disgusting in pastel colors.

easter08007_1380_general

13. Nerds Bumpy Jelly Beans – All right, that just makes jelly beans more disgusting as by giving it grotesque growths. Also, kind of look like fruity brains.

2315461869_b96551f56d

14. Wonka Hoppin’ Nerds Candy- From E!: “Nerds are definitely a solid candy choice, unless they are called “bumpy” (see above). But they don’t really scream “Easter.” They do scream “capable of cracking a filling,” but whatever.”

wonka-hoppin-nerds-candy-132148-im11

15. Lindt Chocolate Carrots – From E!: “Fancy chocolate for when you want to feel better after eating 20 Butterfinger eggs (more on that later). But this candy is only special because of the wrapping, not because of the taste.”

Lindt-Chocolate-Carrots-Easter-Treat-0

16. Whoppers Easter Mini Robin Eggs- Oh, I remember getting these from egg hunts. Lovely to look at and have hard shells that they don’t need wrappers. However, they tend to taste a bit crunchy and chalky. Also, can be mistaken for Cadbury Mini Eggs, so check wisely.

Malted-Milk-Robin-Eggs

17. Chocolate Covered Peeps- From Paste: “To say that chocolate-covered Peeps are not aesthetically pleasing would be a gross understatement—they look like something your insolent dog might leave as a surprise in your loafers for daring to challenge his authority. The chocolate coating is terrible. The artificial, gummy marshmallow inside isn’t much better. These Peeps went a long way toward turning Paste editor Josh Jackson against the idea of chocolate-coated marshmallows in general, which would be great, if there weren’t three or four more of the exact same style of candy on the table.” In other words, they’re saying that these aren’t much better from their disgusting sugar coated marshmallow counterpart and resemble dog turds. At least in chick form for the latter.

6a00d8341c77ee53ef0147e36185e2970b

18. Little Beauty Chocolate Bunny- From Paste: “The worst pure chocolate on the table, this thing was so bad that it made us scan the ingredients list, where “cocoa” is the fourth ingredient—after “sugar,” “vegetable oil” and “whey.” Because you definitely want more sugary whey in your chocolate than actual chocolate. So sugary that some of our teeth manifested spontaneous sympathy cavities in protest.”

Little Beauty Milk Chocolate Bunny.png

19. Frankford Marshmallow Chicks and Bunnies- From Paste: “A big multi-bag where all the marshmallows are stuck together into one mass you get to pry apart with your hands” is not the most promising origin for Easter candy, and indeed, this was one of the least pleasant things on the table. They’re simple, you can say that for them. It’s just a bag of simple, pastel-colored, really awful marshmallows. Make of that what you will.”

20. Reese’s White Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs- Now while Reese’s might have a reputation for making their holiday shaped candies shaped like turds, at least they’re tasty. Yet, you wouldn’t want to eat one from the ground in a dog park. However, I’m not sure if white chocolate and peanut butter should even go together. And it’s said you can barely taste the chocolate to begin with.

reeses-white-chocolate-eggs

21. Sour Watermelon Peeps- I’ll let Paste explain these since I’ve never been near such candies. From Paste: “Oh no. Oh NO. What in the hell are these things? We thought we had seen weird and objectionable, and then along came the watermelon-flavored Peeps. We’re disturbed by the very idea of the concept’s genesis—who in their right mind looked at the marshmallow of a Peep and thought that pink, artificially watermelon-flavored sludge would be a great way to improve it? This person needs to be locked up. If he or she is walking among us, then society is not safe. The mere fact that Paste Music/TV editor Bonnie Stiernberg seemed to oddly enjoy these Peeps (in opposition to everyone else) is cause for suspicion and alarm.”

sour-watermelon-peep

22. Palmer Hollow Chocolate Flavored Bunny – Yes, it’s a very cute chocolate bunny on the outside. However, its taste is bound to disappoint you once the stuff is in your mouth as described akin to milk powder and peanut shells. Candy Blog called this, “the Easter equivalent to a lump of coal.”

palmer-bunnies-photo

23. Twizzler Easter Grass Candy- It’s supposed to be green apple and unlike other Twizzlers, it’s presented as loose and tangled like grass or as if everyone touched it. But those at Time Out Chicago said it’s taste could range from pesto pasta, paste-a, or medicine.

24. Bunny Poop- These are little balls chocolate covered cookie dough which would taste great that come from a wind up pooping rabbit. It’s inspired by the plastic wind up chicken that lays eggs. Nevertheless, it’s on here because of the cookie dough which is uncooked food which may taste great but it’s not something you should eat. And I mean because it’s teeming with E. Coli bacteria which has led to death. For instance consumption of uncooked pieces of the famous Nestle Toll House cookie dough sickened several dozen people and killed one woman in 2009. Now a candy’s nutritional value is one thing that I can let slide, but food safety is a whole another matter. And any product that contains raw cookie dough should be avoided. Seriously, for the love of God, don’t eat cookie dough raw.

25. Hershey’s Easter Kissables- Think of Hershey’s kisses covered in pastel wax, which don’t melt into your mouth but greasily slide down your throat. Well, that was only in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, Hershey’s decided to swap cocoa butter, chocolate, and cane sugar with corn syrup as well as palm, shea, and sunflower oil. Also, these were topped with an ominous sounding “resinous glaze.” Such ingredient suggestion led the FDA declare Hershey’s Kissables as unqualifiable any longer as “milk chocolate.” They were yanked in 2009. Now if anyone finds package of these horrendous candies, they’re most often used as substitutes for game pieces.

2310886034_359479e6e8_z

26. Carrot Cake M&Ms- From Carl Anthony Online: “There is no real chocolate in this chocolate, of course. Following the same course of poor choices with “white chocolate,” these Easter specialty version of the beloved M&M are unusually dry (like cake lacking moisture!), the only discernible flavor being a vague aftertaste of sour cream (does this suggest the “white chocolate” has spoiled?)” He suggests if they were sold for St. Patrick’s Day as Irish Crème, nobody would know the difference.

27. Carrot Cotton Grape Candy – From Carl Anthony Online: “Made exclusively by Bunnyland Candy, there’s potential for a whole new world of Easter Candy possibilities by the innovative use of the ephemeral spun sugar sweet which is ubiquitous still at carnivals, fairs and circuses. Carrot Cotton Candy makes sense enough as the famously favored food of rabbits, Easter or otherwise. Stuffed into this cellophane bag shaped like a giant carrot, you’ll find sticky, fluffy cotton candy colored in an earthy tone of orange. Yet, oddly, its flavor bears no discernible similarity to the earthy vegetable. While perhaps that’s a blessing, it would seem logical enough that the pleasant taste of “orange” would be a good match. Inexplicably, however, its flavored grape.

28. Hotlix Candy- For over 25 years, this company has made candies with real insects in them now coated in fruit flavoring. Yes, real deceased insects and I am not making this up. But they don’t exactly yell out “Happy Easter!” Nor are they something to put in a kid’s Easter basket. However, they might be a fine addition to a Halloween trick or treat bag though.

29. Wasabi Candy- For those who don’t know, wasabi is the Japanese name for what we call horseradish, which we put on burgers. Nevertheless, this candy does exist, but it’s not something a kid would want for Easter. As Hello Giggles notes, “In general, yes – wasabi candy exists. And I can’t think of any holiday that it’s appropriate for, unless you want to inflict punishment on somebody. If you put these monsters in your child’s Easter basket this year, you’re just asking for a meltdown.”

wasabi_candy_2

30. Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans- It’s from the Harry Potter collection. However, unlike regular jelly beans, these ones don’t pretend to be disgusting. And I mean they have every flavor. Sure some might be pleasant but they also have earthworm, earwax, vomit, and booger. Definitely not Easter basket material, unless those of diehard Harry Potter fans.

61EAIgPBVpL._SX425_

31. Edible Easter Grass- Yes, it’s supposed to look like grass and taste like fruit. But it’s very strange. Sure you can use it for Easter baskets to put candy in it. But that’s like having candy on top of your candy.

390988133

32. Ghost Pepper Candy- Since it was called the World’s Hottest Pepper in 2007, I suppose any ghost pepper candy is bound to burn in anyone’s mouth. Might be great for adults but kids would be crying after consumption.

ghost-pepper-candy

33. Chocolate Gold Jesus- From Hello Giggles: “The Chocolate GoldJesus is more of a work of art. This certificated, high quality, fairly traded, organic chocolate aims to donate profits to charitable organizations, which is fantastic. Also it’s Easter related. So what’s the issue? Well, I’d have a really hard time eating this. I’d almost feel bad. I’d think of numerous excuses to save my Chocolate GoldJesus for a special occasion, but no occasion would ever be good enough. And I don’t think I’m alone, since the company has since offered a bronze statue (non-edible!) that’s made in the same cast as its chocolate counterpart.”

34. Zombie Bunny Lollipop- For the record, with the popularity of such shows as The Walking Dead, this one was more or less made for adults. I mean there’s too much blood. Also, it tastes like cotton candy.

Zombie-Bunny-Lollipop

35. Russell Stover Eggs (Wedding Cake, Birthday Cake, Birthday Cake, and Cookie Dough or anything other than conventional flavors)- The cake flavored ones are said to taste like butter inside chocolate. But those at Time Out Chicago think they come with a weird aftertaste and are all gritty in an unpleasant way. Best stick with chocolate, marshmallow, peanut butter, caramel, brownie, and fudge, Russell Stover.

36. Jolly Rancher Bunny Food Gummies- These gummies are shaped like veggies and are supposed to taste fruity. Taste has been likened to stuff like corn syrup, chemicals, and floor cleaner. Let’s just say rabbits wouldn’t want these.

jolly-rancher-gummi-bunny-food

37. Strawberry Chocolate Bunny- Why the hell would anyone make something like this? Chocolate bunnies should only come in 3 flavors milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and vanilla for those allergic to chocolate. This is disgusting. As Carl Anthony Online notes: “In truth, the Strawberry Easter Bunny has all but disappeared, some reported sightings on back road grocer shelves made by shady confectioners. Luckily, among those colorful critters more readily ferreted out are made to order from precious candy makers using purer ingredients than in past decades – and astronomical prices.”

ScreenShot2013-03-27at62337PM

38. Sour Bunny Jolly Rancher- From Paste: “Like a lot of sour candies, these twists on a jolly rancher are more interested in being sour than in delivering the original intent of the product (deliciously artificial fruit flavors). We can’t imagine any scenario where regular Jolly Ranchers wouldn’t be considered superior.”

jolly-ranchers-sour-bunny-gummy-candy-ff-130699

39. Jelly Bean Nougat- Okay, jelly beans and nougat, that’s pretty disgusting in my book. Dear Brach’s, I hate you.

image (1)

40. Black Jelly Beans- From Mommyish:” The packaging on a bag of all black jelly beans should really read: For the people who hate joy. There’s something so sad and disappointing about digging through all that plastic grass and coming up with a dry, black jelly bean.”

61t1zxA2joL._SX425_

41. Spiced Jelly Beans- From the Stranger: “For those of us who like a candy that tastes lightly poisoned, Easter season is a dream, thanks primarily to Brachs’ Spiced Jelly Bird Eggs, a disgustingly intoxicating melange of seven different flavors of jelly beans riding the yummy/gross divide. Some are so gross I have to throw them out, but others are so delicious I eventually buy another bag.”

image (2)

42. Mallow Pals Squeezable Marshmallow- Said by one blogger, “Everything about this candy makes me sad. It does not taste good, and it is the lowest common denominator of candy. It is goo in a tube that you squeeze into your sad, disaffected, post-modern mouth. This candy indicates we are living in a post-candy world. Candy is dead, long live candy.”

7016769479_79f0a3ed05

43. Mystery Peeps- From Delish: “Much like Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, you won’t know if these Peeps are fruity, savory, salty, or sour until you taste them! Whether that game is fun or terrifying, we’ll leave it up to you to decide.”

81X2q+DGLnL._SX522_

44. Zombie Chocolate Bunny- Great to have during an Easter apocalypse for yourself. Not so great for a child’s Easter basket. Also, more suitable for Halloween. And is more of a mockolate flavor, too.

chocolate-zombie-bunny-20110420-113620

45. Mary Sue Vanilla Butter Cream Eggs- From In Papa’s Basement: “In order for Cadbury Creme Eggs to exist, there had to be Mary Sue Butter Cream Eggs. Their filling is vile and extremely adhesive, rendering it impossible to gnaw off the chocolate coating without getting some of that venom in your mouth. Trying to eat their shell without ingesting any of the putrid cream contained within is the candy equivalent of a beautiful woman inviting you to bang her…so long as another dude rides shotgun anus. Things will start off okay. And then, at some point in the act, your scrot is going to brush against his. At that moment, as your innocence goes up in flames like Bill Compton on a Cabo San Lucas beach, you’ll realize you paid far too high a price for far too little reward.”

yhst-14620338735812_2252_2712222

46. Gum Drops- Said to be the fruitcake of Easter. Not sure why these candies exist since they’re not really that tasty. More like something to decorate gingerbread houses with around Christmas. Other than that, I can’t be sure what else.

gum-drops

47. Bunny Teeth- These are gummy bunny teeth. Probably an attempt to rip off the gummy teeth concept of Halloween. It’s as morbid as it sounds.

gummy-bunny-teeth-easter-candy-packets-37_645a

48. Religious Suckers- Sorry, but despite Easter being a significant holiday celebrating Jesus’s resurrection, it’s not the time to remind children that they were born in sin. That’s the job for clergy and Sunday school teachers who probably let them know beforehand. Besides, it’s not appropriate for Easter for He has risen on that day.

7130Lg

49. Quax- From Gourmet Gift Baskets: “This yummy ducky (really, it says that on the package – as if that’s enticing) is a complete and total horror. It looks like Ernie’s bath time buddy, but it’s edible. (Well, maybe. It depends on how you consider okay to eat.) Boldly going where no others have gone before, this Easter treat has paved the way for milk-flavored candies everywhere. Now, I know what you’re thinking: what would a milk-flavored treat taste like? Like pure evil. So it’s no wonder that Quax remains the only candy of its kind.” Best used for scaring and traumatizing a small child or Ernie.

3285745509_2f0fb72ac0

50. Bunny Chew- Because nothing looks more fun for kids than food that resembles either bunny pellets or dog chow.

Bunny-Chew-Treats-Kids

51. Naughty Bunny Chocolate Bars- Let’s just these are adult candies and not suitable for children at any rate. Brought to you by Bloomsbury.

Naughty-Bunny-Chocolate-Bars

52. Inspirational Jelly Beans- Yes, Easter is a religious holiday. But does that mean putting inspirational stuff on jelly beans appropriate for the occasion? That might be bordering on sacrilege.

Inspirational-Printed-Jelly-Beans

53. Walking with Jesus Fruit Snacks- Yes, walking with Jesus is an inspirational thing. But making fruit snacks out of his sandals? Not so much. Hey, look I know that Easter is a religious holiday and I know it has candy. But can you just give Jesus some respect and not put fruit snacks of his sandals in Easter baskets?

Walking-Jesus-Gummy-Treats

54. Crucified Peep Candy Cross- Yes, that may look cute. But is it really appropriate for an Easter basket? Not sure if it borders on sacrilege and bound to cause offense. Inedible sugary marshmallow offense.

Holy-Peepus-marshamallow-pe

55. Rabbit Change- Easter styled chocolate coins with carrots on the foil? No thanks. Chocolate coins are the work of the Devil.

rabbitchange

56. Russell Stover Coconut Nests- More or less resembles some jelly beans being lodged in dog turds. Also, combines two things I hate.

425402d0d9370d5ca88347f6ddfbaf88

57. Vegetables – Yes, you might want your kid to eat healthy. But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ditch candy and fill your kid’s Easter basket with veggies. Easter candy is an Easter tradition for God’s sake. There may be a place for veggies in your kids’ life but the Easter basket is not one of them.

recommended-vegetable-list-fb

58. Sour Patch Jelly Beans- Just when you think they couldn’t make jelly beans worse they had to make them sour. Also, sour candies are just terrible anyway.

x354-q80 (1)

59. Raisins- Sure they may be healthier than chocolate. But that doesn’t mean you should put them in a kid’s Easter basket so they’d mistake them for chocolate chips. That would be cruel.

810193934-1

60. Candy Canes- For one, they’re for Christmas. Second, put them in an Easter basket, and your kids will know that you’ve had these for months and probably have become entangled in some financial emergency.

18lp9oit3w8l9jpg

61. Camel Balls – Sure they may not be that bad, but you don’t want to give your kids a sour candy that has a camel’s testicles on the packaging. More like candy sold at Spencer’s Gifts at the mall.

camel_balls_2

62. Dingle Bearies- These are chocolate covered gummy bears. It’s a slightly offensive name but pretty disgusting.

dinglebeariesfront

63. Caramel Apple Peeps- From American Fun Fact of the Day: “To those of you not sold by our convincing argument of “ew, apple Peeps sound gross” let’s try this on for size—close your eyes (well, metaphorically—you kind of have to have your eyes open to read the rest of this) and imagine eating a Peep. Now imagine washing that down with a nice cool glass of apple juice. That gag reflex you just experienced is your body telling you that this is a horrible flavor for a Peep to have.”

desktop-1438801378

64. Candy Corn Peeps- All the great taste of Halloween sugary wax and sugary Easter marshmallow rolled into one.

candy-corn-peeps

65. Blue Raspberry Peeps- From American Fun Fact of the Day: “As an artificial flavor, blue raspberry is an affront to nature. We feel like it’s silly to point out that blue raspberries aren’t an actual thing that exists in nature, and that this is just a catchall term for kind of sweet, kind of tart food flavoring that tastes distressingly “blue” and is primarily found in syrup poured over ice, except for the fact that we can guarantee that at least, like, 25% of Americans totally think that blue raspberries are a real fruit. But even the mouthbreathers who believe that can take one look at blue raspberry Peeps and say, with complete certainty, that they would rather drown in a silo of sugar before eating these monstrosities.”

61c1zwTV2FL._SX466_

66. Orange Delight Peeps- From American Fun Fact of the Day: “The fudge dipped Peeps are an abomination in their own right, but orange marshmallows dipped in orange fudge just seems like the worst combination of anything. Again, this is a simple matter of passing the “how do these ingredients, separated, seem like they would taste together.” So sure, if you’re the kind of person that likes take bites out of an orange in between your Peeps, well, you’re a sociopath, but even you would have to draw the line at adding “orange flavored fudge” on top of all that. We feel like we can’t say this enough—Peeps are not made to taste like fruit. Stop trying to make them taste like fruit!”

orangeDelight_detail

67. Lime Delight Peeps- From American Fun Fact of the Day: “And also, who wants to eat lime fudge? No one, that’s who. Lime fudge sounds like something your friend who moved to Germany primarily for sex parties would be into, and when he asks you if you “like lime fudge” you’d just sort of pretend like you know what he’s talking about and be like, “You know, I tried it once, but I just don’t think it was for me” before your friend rolls his eyes and calls you a cis.”

limeDelight_detail

68. Peeps Milk- Oh, for God’s sake, Peeps, do you have to make a sugary marshmallow monstrosity such as this? For the love of humanity, this is just the most inedible milk ever. Available in marshmallow, chocolate, and eggnog.

HT_peeps_milk_01_jef_150305_4x3_608

69. Carrot Cake Candy Corn- What the hell, another Easter variety? Seriously, nobody was asking for this. Hell, nobody was asking for candy corn for Halloween.

1394641107Candy Corn-sm

70. Easter Ring Pops- If Ring Pops are terrible as a Halloween candy, then Easter styled ones wouldn’t be great at all for an Easter basket.

The Wonderful World of Peep Shows (No, Not that Kind) (Third Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on February 21, 2016

For Easter in 2014, I did my first Easter post which was on peep dioramas. It was the only Easter post I did that year because I worked on a series called History of the World According to the Movies in March which was a project that took me until just before the 4th of July. Let’s just say it was a longer project than I thought since movies tend to cover a lot of about history but I stopped with the 1990s. Still, it proved to be very popular and I enjoyed doing one so much that decided to do another peep diorama post the next year along with the other Easter posts I did. Again, doing Easter was such a success along with the peep dioramas that I couldn’t think of doing the holiday without a post on these. After all, it would be like doing posts on Valentine’s Day without doing something on vintage valentines. And I know it’s because people like vintage valentines so much that my stats shoot up to over 1,000 views on February 14th. Still, while of you remember marshmallow peeps as inedible sugar coated marshmallow candies which are utterly disgusting to eat, some people use them in the world of art. So much so that there are contests pertaining to peep dioramas around Easter each year. The most famous being the Washington Post. Yes, the paper that helped expose Watergate in the 1970s, yet I haven’t seen a peep diorama on that. Else, I’d show it if I found one. Nevertheless, without further adieu, I give you more peep dioramas to look at for your Easter viewing pleasure.

Little Peeps Farmer’s Market is open for business.

Sure nothing’s edible here. But I think it’s nice that other peeps are buying fresh produce from their local farms.

2. Behold, He has risen! Hallelujah!

Yes, Peepsus as risen from the dead, as it was written. And here’s a peep diorama to tell the tale.

3. Spiderpeep, Spiderpeep, does whatever a spider can…

Kind of funny that he’s at Time Square. as you can see from the Broadway signs. Also, kind of funny that they made a Spiderman musical on Broadway.

4. Of course, George Bunnington wants to bring a surprise to the Hessians this Christmas.

Yes, I might have done Washington Crossing the Delaware in my first peep diorama post. But this one is more in tune with the painting.

5. Seems like a lot of Peeps gathered for a Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

I remembered when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert did this in 2009 when I was in college. Love this peep rendition.

I remembered when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert did this in 2010 when I was in college. Love this peep rendition.

6. Of course, sometimes even peeps need autopsies.

Nevertheless, looking into a real coroner’s office might induce nightmares. But I think this is pretty clever.

7. Even in the Great White North, Peeps manage to make themselves at home.

I suppose these are northern Alaskan peeps. Still, like the sled dog chicks and Northern Lights in this.

8. It’s time to play the music/It’s time to light the lights/It’s time to meet the Muppeeps on the Muppeep Show tonight.

This is how The Muppet Show started during the 1970s. I’m sure you’ll be able to spot your favorite characters.

9. Hear there is congested traffic in the Peeptown Tunnel during Rush Hour.

And it’s said this one has a 3 mile back up. They’re going to be in for a rather long time.

10. In your American history, who can remember Bunbert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulyspeep S. Grant at Appomallox Courthouse?

Yes, this is the moment when the American Civil War was effectively over. Now it’s forever immortalized with Easter marshmallow candy.

11. Lord, let us pray that these grounded bunnies get out alive.

This depicts the Chilean miner rescue that also took place in 2010. Yes, I know these recall events that took place years ago. But you take what you can get.

12. Then you have the peeps who like to order stuff they’ve seen on infomercials.

There’s the late Bunny Mays on the TV screen. Still, I like the bunny with the Snuggie. And the one with the pull up thing.

13. As far as peep dioramas go, nothing gathers so much excitement as Peep by Peepwest.

The kind of movie that shows a thrilling climax at Mount Peepmore and the plane missing you. This is so great. Love this.

14. Wonder how you solve this Peepex Cube?

It’s a Rubix Cube decorated with marshmallow peeps. Get it? Still, think it’s clever.

15. Of course, there are some peeps that don’t observe Easter as seen here.

Indeed, this is a family seder with the Chickstein family. And yes, they’re celebrating Passover.

16. Who could ever forget the Oscar Wilde classic A Picture of Dorian Peep?

It’s a story of a bunny who remains young while his picture depicts him as a squishy mess. And he loses his soul.

17. With enough peeps, you can make a masterpiece such as this one by Vincent Van Peep.

Yes, this is a peep depiction of Starry Night. And there’s Vincent Van Peep with part of his ear cut off.

18. As well all know, Peexar’s Eep still is an animated masterpiece.

Like how they use the peeps as balloons for the house. So clever.

19. Of course, pop culture calls me to acknowledge the existence of Kim Kardashibun.

This is from a photo shoot she did but I can't remember whom. Mostly because I have no interest in the Kardashians whatsoever.

20. Those who lived in 2011 should recount how Brides Peeps was a comedy sensation.

This is a take off from Bridesmaids. Still, love the hair styles on these bunnies.

21. In the world of peeps, it’s like everyone is being watched.

This one is in 3 areas. On left is the White House. The middle has an American home. And the one on the right is the NSA.

22. Peepsalot! Peepsalot! I know it sounds a bit bizarre…

Of course, in Peepsalot, you have the Knights of the Peep table, Merpeep, and others. Undone by a royal extramarital affair and a royal bastard.

23. On Mardi Peep, things are bound to get crazy in New Orleans.

Yes, I showed a Mardi Gras peep diorama before. Yet, this one is different.

24. Don’t look now, but there seems to be a murder.

I guess this is a murder mystery peep diorama. Wonder who did it here. The butler is too obvious as a suspect.

25. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Peep?

Let’s hope HBO doesn’t ruin this show.But if it should pick this up, maybe make it into a kids’ show version of The Wire.

26. Oh, no, it’s the Cuddlepeep!

Yeah, wouldn’t want to be that bunny. Still, the Cuddlepeep is really messed up if you asked me.

27. When it comes to flying, you can’t rely on any pilot better than Captain Sully Peppenberger.

This one is of the Miracle on the Hudson River. Yes, it took place years ago. But this is a cool diorama.

28. When it comes to two bunnies in love, it’s all music and sharing spaghetti.

This is a diorama of the iconic spaghetti music number from Lady and the Tramp. Yes, it’s adorable.

29. You can find a lot of cool things on Peepterest.

Yes, you can. And it’s a very helpful site for bloggers like me. Still, love this.

30. Those who lived in the 1980s might remember playing Peep Man.

It’s an old game by Atbunni in which Peep Man must eat through the maze before being caught by monsters. Yes, it’s hard to explain.

31. Those who lived through the 1960s might fondly remember the music of the Beach Peeps.

These bunnies introduced the world to California surf music. However, their leader's eccentricities almost doomed the group.

32. Norman Peepwell is just checking himself in a mirror.

This is based on Norman Rockwell’s self-portrait, which is rather famous American art. Like the other portraits at the canvas.

33. Spin the wheel and guess the phrase to win a brand new motorcycle.

Let me guess, “Washington Post.” How did I know that?

34. Seems like Bilbo Bunnins has an unexpected dinner party.

After this, he’s bound to go on an adventure with Peepdalf and the dwarf bunnies. You known, to the mountain with the dragon in it.

35. Peepstones, they’re the Peepstones, they’re a modern Stone Age family.

I’m sure the Peeps in the Stone Age were that sophisticated. Nor did they coexist with dinosaurs either.

36. Seems like Westbunster Abbey is having a royal wedding.

This depicts the royal wedding of Will and Kate which was a few years ago. Now they have 2 kids.

37. In her initiative to prevent childhood obesity, First Lady Michelle Peebama started Let’s Move.

Well, she also started a White House veggie garden, too. Still, this is so adorable.

38. Seems like these bunnies are a little into the beyond.

Yes, these peeps are holding a seance from an Oujia board. And a ghost peep has just appeared.

39. Nevertheless who could ever forget Disney’s Frozen?

Had to put one of Frozen on this post. Because I’m sure a lot of girls adore Elsa. Love the marshmallow Olaf.

40. Unfortunately, this little chick has just learned the hard truth.

Oh, yes, Soylent Green is peeple. IT’s so dramatic whenever Charlton Heston has to say it in front of everyone.

41. Seems like this little bunny has no place to go.

This is a peep version of Castaway. Never saw the movie, but I think many of my readers might enjoy this.

42. This chick really likes to swing in her full attire.

This is based on an 18th century painting by a French guy named Fragonard. It’s said to be a masterpiece.

43. If you like violent and suspenseful movies, then you’ll like No Country for Old Peeps.

I don’t think the bunny with the gun and the box of money has long to live. I just don’t.

44. It was 20 years ago today, Sergeant Peeper taught the band to play…

That’s definitely Sergeant Peeper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. And yes, it seems like it has a lot of members. Love it.

45. Do you hear the peeple sing?/Singing the songs of angry men/It is the music of the the peeple who will not be slaves again.

Once I saw this was a diorama of Les Miserables, I had to include this. This is just so perfect.

46. Remember, when hunting always practice proper gun safety.

Okay, Mr. Cheney, I’m sure you didn’t mean to shoot your friend in the face. Yet, despite that it happened while you were still Vice President, I couldn’t pass this up.

47. Remember that time in 2012 when Newt Peeprich talked about building a colony on the moon?

Well, this is just out of someone’s imagination. Still, I bet someone had a lot of fun with what the colony would’ve looked like.

48. No matter what happens, things always go well for the top 1 peepcent.

Still, this doesn’t dismiss the fact that they’re greedy assholes who tanked the economy and buy politicians to do their bidding. Bastards.

49. For the more philosophical sort, here’s Raphael’s Peeps of Athens.

This is based on a famous Renaissance painting by Raphael. Now with marshmallow bunnies.

50. And last but not least, I had to include Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper.

Yes, I did the Last Supper before. But that wasn’t a rendition of Da Vinci’s painting. Still, this is brilliant.
