This Homer Simpson [bento box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-cookbook) and Sideshow Bob food carving belong to the some of the best edibles I have ever seen.

I realized if I wanted to write about it this badly, I would have to find other Simpsons related food, and what a haul.

Not only are there fan-created goodies like cakes, there are a range of official foods such as cookies and the AMAZING [movie doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krabby-patty-doughnut). The Simpsons totally nailed their branding campaigns and I love them even the more for it.

The [Food Network Challenge Simpsons cake](http://www.tvaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/photos/foodnetwork/challenge/Food_Network_Challenge_Simpsons_Cakes_Donut.jpg) is also one of the greatest themed cakes I have ever seen. In fact when it comes to [Simpsons cakes](http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.queenbeecakes.com/images/simpsons.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.queenbeecakes.com/single_layers6.html&usg=__-i5brMefC49XC_JEzs_A5aGqZyc=&h=450&w=400&sz=114&hl=en&start=30&um=1&tbnid=iGBVl2QZN2uPhM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=113&prev=/images?q=simpsons+cake&start=21&ndsp=21&um=1&hl=en&sa=N) there are some pretty awesome options out there!
