Ampersand Food Groups

Found via The Ampersand.  These ampersand food group typographic illustrations by Dan Beckemeyer are mouthwatering.

Cakewich

Found via Geekologie.  Cakewich cake molds are shaped like a loaf of bread, so you can easily make cakes that look like sandwiches.  Kind of quirky, eh?  You can buy them from Perpetual Kid, Amazon, and a lot of other places.

Cheeseburger Cupcakes

When I came across How to Make Cheeseburger Cupcakes yesterday, it was an instant bookmark.  Don’t these look delicious?

Moleskine Passions Series

Moleskine has a new collection of notebooks, The Passion Collection, designed to help you keep track of the things you love.  Maybe I blog too much – when I saw this collection, I thought, “Oh, so it’s like blog post categories!  But where’s the journal for Stop-Motion?”  One wonders why the Passions collection only includes Music, Wine, Wellness, Books, Film, and Recipes.  What about Art and Travel?  Technology?  Regardless, the Passion Collection notebooks are sharp, well-crafted, and sure to appeal to people who like to keep their thoughts organized.

Scanwiches

Scanwiches, a blog of scanned sandwiches, is simple, elegant, and mouth-watering.

Western Spaghetti

I have just come across we love stopmotion, a blog about stop motion videos, and I am trying to restrain myself from reposting all of its amazing entries here. However, I cannot resist sharing PES‘ Western Spaghetti video with you readers, as it is one of the most innovative videos I’ve seen in a while:

Tea Sub

Found via SwissMiss.  To a tired Beatles fan who enjoys a good cup of tea, the Tea Sub is nothing short of genius.

Dress For Dinner Napkins

I want pretty much everything that The Spoon Sisters sell, like these clever Dress For Dinner paper napkins:

Ampersandwich Tee

Found via what’s with today today.  SimpleBits, a design studio in Massachusetts, just started selling Ampersandwich tees, shirts that combine three of my favorite things: typography, t-shirts, and sandwiches.

Super Epic Rainbow Cake

Found via Swissmiss, and too delicious not to repost.  Check out this Super Epic Rainbow Cake by Whisk Kid.  All I can say is nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Chris Piascik

I mentioned Chris Piascik parenthetically in a post a few days ago, but I think he deserves his own post here because his work is just that cool.  This “Cracker Time” drawing made me crack up (pun not intended), as I have been in the same situation many a time.  I like the way Piascik thinks!

Moustache Mugs

Speaking of tea cup moustache guards, these mugs by Peter Ibruegger are pretty funny.  They can be purchased from Ibruegger’s website or from Third Drawer Down, which sells a variety of terribly fascinating and creative products.

Detachable Moustache Guard

A few weeks ago, I discovered The Wonderful World of American Advertisements: 1865-1900 in a used book shop.  Of all the amazing ads in the book, this one from 1895-1900 is undoubtedly my favorite:

Lucky Cat Candy Packaging

Found via The Dieline.  This idea for candy packaging is simple, yet very clever. Notice how the cats have different expressions.

Cupcake Car

I’ve heard plenty of stories about rich people buying ridiculous things for ridiculous prices.  Neiman Marcus’ $25,000 custom cupcake car is no exception.  Not surprisingly, this absurd vehicle was first seen at Burning Man.  The matching hats are hilarious.

See-Through Toaster

Found via Unpluggd.  Can you imagine how useful a see-through toaster would be?  If this concept becomes a reality, we would have no more burnt toast.

Milk Packaging

Found via Ffffound.  Visual Advice comes up with a lot of eye-catching designs, like this concept for a milk carton.  I love that it’s Helvetica.

Free Rice

You’ve probably already seen Free Rice, which started two years ago as a creative way for people to help end hunger simply by playing vocabulary games.  But if you haven’t visited the site since its initial popularity in 2007, you probably haven’t seen that the multiple-choice game has been expanded to include a variety of other subjects. Why not review art history, Spanish, geography, and more while donating rice?
