Sunday Sweets: Geeky Goodness
April 5, 2009 I half-jokingly asked y'all to submit some Sweet Stars of the 'Trek or 'Gate variety a while back, and as usual, you delivered! So today let's take a look at some of the best Stargate goodies out there. I do have to warn you, though: There are no SGA-specific Sweets here. Hopefully you won't be as crushed by this gaping inadequacy in cakedom as I am. [sniffle]
Ok, first up, Lynellen nominated this bit of awesomeness made by Charm City Cakes, aka the Ace of Cakes:
Very nice, very nice. Duff and the gang continue to rock.
Kassandra B. found the next two. First a super shiny specimen from Rachel's Custom Cakes:
And then this hilarious example from Cake Corner:
I can't stop smiling at this one - it's both adorable AND geeky: my favorite combo!
Those are all fabulous, of course, but Kendra's find is the hands-down winner. Get ready, geeky guys and gals, 'cuz here comes a Stargate wedding cake. Awwww yeeeeeah!
And you thought geeks had no sense of elegance. C'mon, just look at this thing!
Check out the great details on the topper:
I love all the little touches of red throughout the design - just beautiful.
You can see a few more shots here, where the groom writes that the wormhole connection is actually hand-painted icing. I could have sworn that was an edible printed image, so color me impressed. Plus, the entire cake was made by his in-laws - how cool is that?!?

Over the years, Chef Duff of Charm City Cakes has made an Imperial Star Destroyer for me, along with the Death Star, the Great Gallery rock art and a few other cakes. They're making my 40th birthday cake this year and I can't wait.
I never thought to ask him about a Stargate!
LOL I am such a geek. I think those cakes are awesome! :)
Totally awesome. I had to post about this in my own blog, hope you don;t mind.

Geekalicious!
Somewhere I have seen a Puddlejumper Cake! I must try and track that down as it looked very good!
why not get a hand sculpted personalised cake topper to accompany your great looking stargate cake?
I have just had a fabulous Apollo Astronaut Topper made (using my face)...and i know Sharon at sculptedbliss.co.uk would love to make more "character" figures.
check them out here...http://www.sculptedbliss.co.uk
Seriously, this rocks.
Fabulous! Keep up the nerd cakes and the covert Harry Potter references. I laugh out loud at every post - thank you!
Wow, those are some amazing in-laws.
You know, though I am a fan of Duff and Co., I have to say that the guy getting sucked into the gate really has a lot of technical merit. And the wedding cake!! OH heavens! Geeky, yet tasteful! =D
I think I just had a geekgasm . . .
*falls over in sheer amazement*
Although seriously...is it too much to ask that someoen make the stargate with blue chevrons instead of red, and a green wormhole? That would make it a lot closer to being Atlantis.
(I'm slightly disappointed that there are no Atlantis cakes out there...)
I love-love-LOVE the one of the guy coming through the 'gate! AMAZING!!!!! And the wedding cake! I need to marry a geek so we can have that cake!
This = most awesomeness post ever.
Love the Stargate Cakes!!I want one for my B-day now!! Thanks for sharing
This totally screams GEEKAGE, I love it!
needs more battlestar galactica cakes
Absolutely amazing cakes! Now all I need is the man to go with the cake!!! :-))
Sigh, sent a link to this post to my family as a joke because my mom loves Stargate and her birthday is coming up. Now the whole family wants me to get one. For real.
I never thought I would see the day I would be instigating cake wrecks myself...
I love Stargate. I’m so depressed now that both versions are off the air. But this post makes it better. A little. [is a wobby]
AWESOME! A geek to the core, these are fab! Next time - Star Trek ;)
My husband and and I are currently watching the entire series of SG-1 and anytime someone gets promoted or a medal, we have decided they celebrate afterwards with a Stargate shaped cake in the briefing room, like people do at actual office celebrations. So seeing these makes me giggle a lot.
fantastic - SG and cake - what more could you ask for!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want! I want!!

I cannot even express how utterly awesome this post is. Pretty cakes + Stargate = WIN.
(And now I totally want to get someone to make me an SGA cake, because the fact that you couldn't find any makes me sad. I love SG1 too, but SGA has to be represented!)
HOLY MOLY!!!!!
I LOVVVVVE Stargate ... both Atlantis and SG-1.... DH and I are total nerds.... I sooo wish I had more time to dream one up for his bday tomorrow.. LOL!
Dang, why didn't *I* think of a Stargate wedding cake?! We are that geeky, after all.
I'm going to have a second wedding just so I can have a SG-1 wedding cake. Pure awesomeness.
It's been said before but I have to say it for myself... I WANT ONE!! LOL
And The Cheap-Arse Film Critic, it did need to be said, rofl!!
(looking down, shuffling feet in embarassment) Glad everybody explained the Stargate thing, because I thought it was Xena's chakram.
Oh, I love the geeky, adorable one but the wedding cake should be a Grooms cake instead !
Love your site! LOVE the stargate cakes!!
I did a stargate cake a few years ago for my (then) husband's birthday. Our group of friends are all stargate geeks and we'd get together on Friday nights to watch SG1 and SGA... My ex is an elephant collector as well (elephant figurines, of course!) so there's an elephant coming through the stargate on my cake. Definitely NOT professionally done, but we had fun with it.
If you would like, you can see it here:

Hooray for Stargate wedding cakes! All you need is space-like wedding dress and you'll be SET!! Example here: http://myweddingisabigdeal.com/2009/04/15/oooh-its-outta-this-world/" REL="nofollow"> Space Wedding Dress
OMG!!!!! I saw from a link in today's sunday sweets. How can I have missed this one?! These are so cute, though I have to say my favorite is the last one.
Damn now I must make a Stargate cake, even if it just a glyph of Earth or Atlantis. Perhaps a whole gate address.
