Domestic Geeks

Mario Cakes, Bomberman Cupcakes and Raving Rabbit Truffles...Oh my!

I was browsing a list of Geeky Party Ideas on Geek Sugar when I came across a photo of one woman's incredibly cute Mario star cookies.

Cute huh? Well guess what, this girl is just getting started! Check out some more of her greatest geeky baking hits.

Lego truffles

Super Mario Chess Cake

Rayman's Raving Rabbits truffle

Pokemon truffles

PacMan truffles

Bomberman Cupcakes

All of these are the work of Brazilian confection master Ana Fuji and I really wish I could read Portuguese so I could understand her blog. But at least her Flickr stream provides some excellent eye candy. Be sure to check out her Game World set for all things sugary and geeky.

Knit your very own lightsaber!

Im not sure if yarn can take down the Dark Lord of the Sith, but it sure does make for a cute crafty geeky mashup!

Knitted Lightsabers!

Etsy seller Carbon Scoring sells patterns to knit your very own lightsaber on her shop. Or if youre not so crafty with the needles, you can buy a preknitted lightsaber!

Oh and its not a trap, you can also buy either the pattern for or a premade sock monkey style Admiral Ackbar!

In the words of the artist herself, "Your cruisers can't repel cuteness of this magnitude!!"

A couple's amazing homemade mario furniture

We've all seen the Mario decals and some other random Mario pillows, but this couple took their love of Nintendo one step further and custom made a whole series of Mario furniture.



How awesome is that?! First of all, it looks phenomenal. Dennis and his mechanical engineer girlfriend, Judith, built everything by hand.



I think the warp pipe end table might be my favorite piece.

And if the shelves and table werent enough, they even made an amazing Game Boy clock.

Im kind of totally jealous of this couple and their carpentry skills. They should go into business doing game themed decor because I know plenty of people that would shell out good money for these pieces (myself included)!

Geek chic wedding

Its spring time which means that if your in your 20s or 30s there will inevitably be at least one wedding you are invited to. Well, we should all be so lucky as to get invited to a wedding as cool as this one featured on Offbeat Bride.

Stephanie & Chase's Gamer, Nerdabilly, Geek Chic Wedding



While we've all seen geeky themed weddings before, what I like most about this one is that they still managed to make it look chic and classy all on a minimal budget! First of all, note the awesome 8bit ties worn by all the men as well as the obligatory light sabers



Instead of a traditional cake, they used cupcakes to make Zelda, Link and a life heart...8bit style of course!



My favorite part has to be the adorable Super Mario table decorations!







Classy and geeky all at once! Im sure even those unfamiliar with Mario found these table decorations to be adorable.

To read more about this epic wedding including the orchestrated Zelda music for the processional, read the bride's writeup here!
