The Black Cherry Cake Company is all out of cake. They didn’t realize there’d be such a rush. All they have left are these adorable geeky cakes.
Okay, the Walker ears definitely don’t count as adorable, but Daryl sure does.

Scott Christian Sava seems to like a lot of the same things we do – Downton Abbey, comics, Harry Potter. You’ll find all that and more in his watercolor works (some are for sale in his Etsy shop). You might even find a surprise captain and detective…

Photographer Eric Cash of Shift-4 Photography made one couple’s Back to the Future dreams come true with a fabulous “Save the Date” shoot. Jarrett and Abbie enlisted an Atlanta based Delorean owner to complete their already awesome look. We also adore Abbie for going the less obvious route. “Since I’m currently in medical school, I thought it much more appropriate to dress up as Doc instead of Jennifer,” she said. Let’s just hope their kids don’t turn out to be you-know-whats.

I had an 80s prom for my birthday last December and I would have given anything to roll up in this. According the original tumblr post, “This DeLorean stretch limo with three full sets of gull wing doors was created by Rich Weissensel. It began as a sketch and an order for a custom stainless steel frame after meeting John DeLorean at the DeLorean Car Show in 2000, and took the following 12 years to complete. Rich had hoped to give John a ride in his creation, but it was nowhere near completion when DeLorean died in March of 2005.” One more picture after the jump.

If memory serves, we don’t know exactly when hover technology started being utilized by the masses. Though it’s somewhere between 1985 and 2015 if Back to the Future 2 is any indication. While we may have the technology, we’re nowhere near using it to make our cars fly but that didn’t stop one gentleman from trying. Matthew Riese raised over $5,500 in a Kickstarter campaign to fulfill his dream and complete the alterations on the DeLorean. But at least for this experiment, he did not need roads.

The Bottleneck Gallery presents its first show of 2013, Gizmos & Gadgets. “We are constantly reminded by popular culture that in a time of great need, there is nothing better to have at your side than something conjured up by man,” they write. “Bottleneck’s newest show focuses on the material items made popular by your favorite movies, television shows and books.” The show opens this Friday, January 18, in Brooklyn, NY but you can purchase the items that haven’t sold out starting noon the following day online. A portion of the proceeds earned from sales, as well as a few ebay auctions, will go to benefit the Humane Society.

It’s true that New York taxis usually drive like maniacs but it’s pretty difficult to get up to 88 mph in Manhattan. Unless you’ve got a hover conversion, of course. Unfortunately, this isn’t real. Mike Lubrano imagined what a Back to the Future taxi would look like for a NYC fashion house called Nooka. Hit the jump to see it with the doors open.
