We love delicious foods that appear to be something other than what they actually are. California-based Imnopeas posted a recipe and detailed tutorial on Instructables on how to make Cake Fries, crinkle cut french fry-shaped cakes that is paired with a red raspberry ‘ketchup’. A store-bought pound cake is cut with a zig-zag knife, and then baked to look like crinkle cut fries. Pureed raspberries are the base of the ‘ketchup’. So simple! So yummy! Imnopeas was inspired by a recipe by Bob Blumer of Food Network’s The Surreal Gourmet.
What’s better than a nice hot and crispy french fry? Uhh, nothing, but these faux french fries made from pound cake are pretty darn tasty! With summer right around the corner, these dessert fries are the perfect addition to any bbq or summer bash.

Uncanny Wood Sculptures by Randall Rosenthal
Yes, you are reading that sequence of words correctly: every single picture is of a single block of wood, hand-carved and painted in hyper-realistic fashion. Randall adds amazingly intricate nuance to each piece: his dollar bills look weathered and wrinkled while his wooden legal pad looked creased from frequent discarded ideas. His carvings look so realistic, you could probably take some of his wooden $100 bills and go use it to purchase that hovercraft you’ve always been wanting.
