Ever come across a new variety of KitKat that no one else has heard of - and then wondered if it was a dream? Snackspot is here to catalogue and document occurrences of new phenomenon, and review them for your peace of mind and edification.
You know that telly programme with cars, which a team of experts then make bigger and better? Pimp That Snack does this with biscuits. People make giant versions of things and then send them into the site. We like the Rubix Cube Cake.
Cake Wrecks is one website that has us in stitches - and we're always surprised that more people don't already have it bookmarked. Cake wrecks is all about 'professional' cakes that have gone horribly, awfully wrong...
