Nick from DudeFoods created this bacon weave Choco Taco using, as the name suggests, a Choco Taco, which he describes as “one of the best desserts in the entire world” – but obviously it needed bacon.

Plea of pizza by a little girl with cancer
Hazel, nicknamed “Hazelnut”, was diagnosed with a High-Risk, Stage 3 Neuroblastoma on April 24, 2013 and is now receiving 18 months of treatment at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. Earlier today, with the help of her family, she used tape to put up a sign in her window reading “Send Pizza” along with her room number. The sign was spotted by a Redditor who posted it to the site. Within an hour it made the front page where it was seen by millions and many, many pizzas were ordered. The hospital has issued a statement thanking donors, but says no more pizzas are needed.
If you want to help the family in a different way (as they’re surely sorted for pizza about now), you can visit this link here.

Mario 1-Up Mushroom Pizza Roll
Chris-Rachael Oseland, aka Kitchen Overlord, is pretty amazing at taking your favorite geek icons and making them into adorable, delicious treats, particularly breads and stuffed rolls. These 1-Up mushrooms might be her cutest creation yet, and seem surprisingly easy to make considering that they look exactly like the ones that you find in the Mario franchise.

Batgirl and Nightwing's Themed Wedding
Laura and Seth are both huge fans of super heroes, particularly DC Comics. Laura’s absolute favorite is Batman, and in high school her friends started giving her Batman themed gifts including a Batman signal belt buckle that she wore just about every day and it got to the point that if people in high school didn’t know her name they would just call her Batgirl. Seth was a huge comic book fan and associated himself mostly with the character Nightwing. The characters are sort of fictional role models to the two of them, about how ordinary people can do extraordinary things to help people.

3D Marshmallow Cats Coffee Art
Not everyone can whip up amazing 3D cappuccino and latte art. Heck, the vast majority of us can't. But we still want to enjoy cute characters peeking up at us out of a steaming cup of java. Good thing there's this.
Dubbed "Cat Cafe", each one is made by hand one at a time—a time-consuming process. The shop hit on the idea for this particular marshmallow after customers complained that another one of its cat-shaped marshmallows (see below) started sinking, head-first. How sad! Thus, the marshmallow wizards at Yawahada created a cat that poked its head out of your steamy drink.

Australian Woman Marries a Bridge in Southern France
For the last 10 years Australian artist Jodi Rose has traveled the world recording the vibrations in bridge cables with contact microphones and using them to create experimental music. You could say she has an almost intimate relationship with bridges, and recently she decided to make it official by marrying a mysterious bridge in the south of France.
Le Pont du Diable (Devil’s Bridge) is a 600-year-old stone bridge built over a steep-sided gorge in Céret, but for Jodi Rose it’s simply “The One”. After visiting dozens of bridges all over the world, for her Singing Bridges musical project, she decided this was the one she wanted to celebrate her love for bridges with. Although he is made of stone, the resonance of his being is very present, and I feel at peace in his strong embrace,”Jodi said. ”He makes me feel connected to the earth and draws me to rest from my endless nomadic wanderings. He is fixed, stable, rooted to the ground, while I am nomadic, transient, ever on the road. He gives me a safe haven, brings me back to ground myself, and then lets me go again to follow my own path, without trying to keep me tied down or in thrall to his needs or desires. I am devoted to him. The perfect husband… strong and silent!”

Tank Sushi
It looks kind of like a tank. Well, one covered with dead fish. It does. See?
This is "Sensha sushi" (戦車寿司), or "tank sushi". As pointed out by Naver, a sushi restaurant called Kurisakiya began offering a tank sushi in honor of Japanese anime Girls und Panzer. The military girls anime is set in the town of Oarai in Ibaraki Prefecture, which is where Kurisakiya is located. Thus, tank sushi!

Your new favourite guinea pig on Twitter
You may think the lives of guinea pigs are limited to walking around in a cage and eating little food pellets, but apparently they are more active than we think.
