Twitter Milestone: A Reflection After Sending 100,000 Tweets
I’ve done it! I’m not sure if it’s a notable and widely recognizable Twitter milestone, but I have, as of two days ago, sent over 100,000 tweets – that’s 14,000,000 characters or so over the last three years since joining Twitter. I’m sure not everyone has been hanging onto every word I’ve ‘tweeted, ...
Best Rainbow-Colored Batman Cake Ever Baked
You gotta admit, we've featured some pretty un-freaking-believable cakes (and cupcakes) over the years. I think out of all of them, the life-size Yoda cake is probably my favorite, but then again, it's hard to choose just one. This batman cake is in a whole class of its own though. It's not a super ...

An Abstract Pixelated Mario Created With Colored Blocks
I seem to be on a Mario kick today, but there's nothing wrong with that, right?

That’s How We Used To Do It Kids: A Retro Atari T.V. Commercial
If you were a geeky kid in the '80s, you probably remember playing Atari games. I can still remember the very first time I was introduced to a video game, and it was on an Atari.

The Romulan Ale Recipe: Drink Like An Intergalactic Badass
Remember Romulan Ale? I've seen every Star Trek movie ever made at least twice, and I always thought it would be neat to taste that "illegal" drink.

My mother is an extremely talented cake designer and sculptor, and as a result of that, I was very blessed when I was a little girl because I always had the best birthday cakes on the block.

3 Easy Handmade Postcard Ideas To Make Mail Fun Again
Yesterday as I checked my mail, I started thinking about how boring getting mail has become. The only thing I ever get anymore is junk mail, and it makes me wonder why I bother checking it so often.

Ever wondered where Wonka goes to get plastered with the wicked witch when Hansel and Gretel are licking the doors and eating the gingerbread ceiling? Well, I think he pulls up a peppermint barstool to get a little tipsy in Candyland.
