Batman doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who has a sweet tooth, but I bet he’s as guilty as the rest of us of eating sugary things he shouldn’t. Like cookies and candy and cakes. Bakers love putting the Bat symbol on every kind of sweet food you can imagine, and we’ve found five fantastic examples.
Why go with a plain old Bat logo when you can make the one from The Dark Knight Rises? The above piece of cupcake art was made by Nerdache Cakes.

My dream kitchen does not involve shiny stainless steel appliances, granite counters and fancy custom made cabinetry. No, it involves a TARDIS fridge, a Wonder Woman mixer and superhero spatulas. Here are some great ways to turn your kitchen into a nerd’s paradise, and they won’t even require you hire a contractor and remortgage your house.
Alcohol makes most things better and that especially applies to desserts. Rum cakes, sugary boozy pudding, and whisky marshmallows – there are a plethora of treats to help you clean out your liquor cabinet.
How about starting with some whiskey, caramel, marshmallow, and bacon bark? It’s pictured above, and it sounds heavenly. Recipe is from Endless Simmer.

The sweet, burn the roof of your mouth nectar that is Sriracha sauce has become more and more popular over the last couple of years. It’s rocketed almost to the level of bacon. Almost. I see the condiment being used in tons of recipes and most of them sound wacky but delicious enough that I’d taste test them.
I’m very interested in the Sriracha ice cream sandwiches pictured above. It’s hand to already have the dairy product built in to cool your mouth down. Recipe by The Glut Life.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than having friends over and preparing a themed meal. You see, hobbits love food and drink. That’s common knowledge. Who hasn’t heard of second breakfast and supper and dinner (well, other than Aragorn)? Even more perfect, food is a key part of The Hobbit and the first installment of the movie trilogy. The company of dwarves unexpectedly shows up at Bilbo Baggins’ home to begin their journey and promptly clean out his pantry. Poor Bilbo.
Luckily for us, Tolkien mentions the food they ate while crammed around the table at Bag End. Some of it is ridiculously easy and some of it requires a little work. You can also get away with including food in the same spirit even if it’s not exactly the same.

It seems like bacon has been everywhere over the last few years – in chocolate, in mayo, in chips, in coffee and on and on. There are even bacon dresses and scarves! Though we’ll probably eventually move out of this all bacon all the time phase, it has brought some amazing and crazy creations. For example, check out the bacon nachos in the above picture. Who needs tortilla chips when can substitute pork? It’s by Dude Foods; they regularly experiment with the popular meat.

The Legend of Zelda games are beloved by tons of people. Beyond tons. It’s a popular franchise, and it just seems to gain new followers and fans as the years move forward.

The TARDIS isn’t just for time travel anymore, it’s for eating. I like to think the Doctor would like the world turning his beloved ship into sugary snacks. It takes form as cake, cookies, and gingerbread houses and each baker adds his or her own spin to the familiar vessel. I’d happily devour all of these treats!
I adore the TARDIS cookies pictured above. They were submitted to Doctor Who Crafts by Cydienne.
