You could get an additional fruit (lime) for free by changing the color of one of the oranges to green.
Someone once told me that coconuts and limes go together quite well.

Urban Dictionary: Forbidden Snack
An object which appears to be highly edible that is not, in fact, edible and is therefore considered to be forbidden despite its delectable yet deceptive appearance.
So a glass of hydrochloric acid being used to clean some gold. Looks like a yummy gin and tonic with cold stones instead of ice.

I really liked the concept, but I think the lighting is breaking the mood a bit.
I would suggest increasing the intensity of the emission of the orange spots by a lot (and then adding a glow effect with the compositor), make the background a bit darker and add a rim light on the left side following the curvature of the “trunk”.
I gotcha, Thanks for the critique.
Spooky forest lighting in progress.

Never really good at texturing. But I think the cake turned out to be alright.
Was also practicing rule of thirds.

“Nightcrawler Sundae”
Pure
Rendered in Blender’s internal renderer as a test of my new systems’ CPU. I used Dan Pro’s tutorial on advanced FK/IK tentacle rigging to set up the worms for posing. Textures and materials for the models were generated in Blender, although the worm texture, foam cup decal, and tablecloth were created in Photoshop.

To me, Weekend Challenge is all about the creativity of taking an ambiguous statement of a topic and trying to find an original way to show it – whether the render is technically incredible or not. Some weeks turn out "sort of meh," but some weeks have been truly memorable, “ROTFLMAO” stuff. I’m glad that you can now vote for more than one entry.

The Forbidden Crust - the one that started it all
It’s a biblical take on the forbidden snack, I wanted to make a snake out of bacon but I found easier to position a slit pupil at the center of the apple as a substitute.(Hope its noticeable off the bat)

Snacks for Robots
Pure entry. Everything made in Blender, only procedural textures.
I tried to imagine what kind of unhealthy stuff robots would eat.
My initial plan was to model two robots, but after making a basic rig and modelling a head, I looked at the clock and thought “Nope, I’m not gonna make it.”. So I went with something simpler instead.
