An astonishing three-tier Jaffa Cake fit for the most extravagant society wedding has gone on sale in the UK, putting to bed once and for all the age-old cake/biscuit question. That is 100 per cent cake and anyone who says otherwise is only allowed to eat Digestives for the rest of their lives. Read More >>

"You wouldn't say "do you want a cake" and offer them Jaffa cakes, you'd put them in the selection of biscuits." More »
If you're an amateur baker who's mastered the sheet cake, this alphanumeric grid pan will let you take your creations one step further by turning them into low-res numbers and letters. All you need to do is arrange the included square metal duividers to create negative spaces in the pan that form characters. Read More >>

The scene: a woman goes to buy a cake for, oh, let's say her cat Whiskers's birthday. She decides to put a photo of Whiskers's face on top of the cake because oh isn't that fun and also she's a very lonely woman. She hands the baker a USB drive and asks that she use the photo. The baker smiles and nods because English is her second language and because this customer asking for a flash drive on a cake is clearly insane and should be dealt with accordingly. The result, as you can see, is glorious. Read More >>

If you've never heard of 'extreme cake making', here's a deep end introduction. But a small health warning: these particular items aren't for the prudish, or the squeamish. Yuk. Read More >>
Cakes, sweet, sweet merciful cakes. We love 'em. We hate what they do to us. But these cakes are a little bit different, as we don't want to eat them. We want to preserve them in some kind of magical cake museum, because they look absolutely incredible. Called Threadcakes (an amalgamation of cakes and indie-darling, crowdsourced t-shirt shop Threadless), the baking competition has been going since 2009 and we've slapped ourselves silly gorging over them before. The latest entries for the 2012 competition are absolutely stellar and out of the 163 top-notch entries from this year, we've selected five of our favourites. Read More >>

Sea-raping mega-oil firm Shell has a new rig to launch, and like any enormous company, it decided to celebrate with a private party atop Seattle's Space Needle. The crown jewel? An oil rig-shaped cake which sprays booze! Into your face. Read More >>

I'm going to spend the rest of my days living in envy because The Telegraph's Harry Wallop was allowed into McVitie's Jaffa Cake factory, and I was not. Luckily he shot a video, so we can all dream of diving into vat P130, or scooping a freshly-baked biscuit (sorry, I mean cake) right off the conveyor belt after its 18 minutes' journey. Read More >>

The Groom's cake may be a bit of a consolation prize for otherwise being ignored on the big day but that doesn't men you shouldn't milk it for all its pastry goodness. Like this guy, who got himself the Ark of the Covenant in cake. Read More >>
