BottleMate is perfect for bottle cap collectors

November 4, 2009 @ 12:34 am

An Australian company has developed a neat little tool called the BottleMate that easily pops the caps off of bottles while preserving their circular shape. Normally, if you have to open a bottle with a sealed cap, you end up bending it somehow with a bottle opener which really messes up the shape of the cap itself.

In any case, this is a pretty neat product I think and something that might make me start a personal collection of bottle caps just for fun. Thanks Dan for the heads up on this!

Cake shaped like a chocolate box

Bakerella is showing off one magnificent cake that is sure to have any person — guy or girl — in awe. Believe it or not, every single portion of the image above, with the exception of the brown paper holding each “chocolate”, is actually part of a cake! Bakerella made this cake in the spitting image of a traditional Valentine’s Day gift box of chocolate and has posted the entire recipe online for those of you daring enough to try this at home!

If you’re less ambitious, you can also just try make the red velvet cake balls that adorn the top of the cake. The recipe seems a bit less complicated, especially if you’re less of an artist in the kitchen like I am.

The pictures are the real juicy part though so check them out below.
