If you happen to be in Melbourne, Australia then you can head to the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory to see this incredible chocolate bird zoetrope in person. For the rest of us, the video will have to suffice. It looks like just a bunch of chocolate birds on a wheel, but once the wheel starts spinning, the entire thing come to life. It requires incredible timing to really fool your eyes with this kind of illusion and the makers of this zoetrope did it beautifully.

Twitter user Sugi hand-draws anime characters on lattes using toothpicks, chocolate syrup and cocktail syrup. She only started last April, but with the public’s unquenchable thirst for caffeine, her skills developed quickly, and she has already created over 800 pieces of coffee art.

I would seriously love to do this to my pizza delivery guy, but we live in a security building and 3 floors up. Still, it’s hilarious.

The Hello Kitty Melon

No this isn’t a natural occurrence. Instead the image was carved into the fruit when it was still green and before the melon became covered in its net-like outer skin. Apparently this was repeated on 300 melons which are selling for a whopping $49 apiece. Since people seem to buy anything with Hello Kitty’s mug on it, these will probably sell too.

Steampunk outfits include elements of Victorian style and that goes perfectly with high tea. These images were shot in a bed and breakfast, and it makes a perfect setting for a “steampunk high tea” session. I like the costume Teryl Dactyl put together – especially the part where there aren’t gears or goggles.

Apparently we’ve been doing baguettes wrong. I was just eating them, but Tim Bierbaum and John Milhiser have taken a whole other approach: they’re replacing everyday objects with the loaves of bread and photographing celebrities using them. Baguette-me-nots features baguettes in all kinds of weird places including as stand-ins for Wolverine’s claws. Sourdough is just as strong as adamantium.

See more baguettes where they normally aren’t after the break.
