Seething Jealousy and Frosting
As I write this, it is 3am and I can’t sleep, which means that I’m doing meaningless things, like cleaning out my bookmark folder. I’ve now been reintroduced to CakeWrecks, which chronicles bakery disasters and triumphs.
What does this have to do with gaming?
Booyah.
Make sure to check out the original post, When Gamers Marry. Also available: another Mario wedding cake and Mario cakes from around the world.
Fun Fact: This post was originally a news post about the Scott Pilgrim DLC that just came out, and acted as further evidence that Ubisoft is clearly favoring the PS3 right now. But then when I hit “preview” it linked to Jon’s post about the same thing from a month ago. Basically the words “upcoming” and “available now” just needed to be changed and it was the same damn post. So now it’s a misc. piece about an awesome cake.
Also: insert requisite dead-horse joke about cakes, lies.
Jenny’s cake is a lie…hur hur hur!
But looking at the ‘When Gamers Marry’ cake makes you wonder if there is a better wedding cake out there. Better than anything I’ve seen.
This is awesome.
That’s nuts. We’re just getting into cake decorating in my baking science lab and I have the utmost respect for the people with the artistic ability and patience to make something like that work.
Baking Science Lab? Is that like a mad scientist’s lab where you breed the ultimate cake in the attempt to take over the world?
Yeah, pretty much like that (also with pastries, breads, and sweet doughs). Then we eat them because they are delicious, and we get credit hours for it. Can’t really complain. ;)
You’d be surprised though. Amazing cakes contain a power of near-unimaginable size and scope.
You, and Jeremy Clarkson are on my list of people who’s jobs I want to steal. I have to deal with paperwork and more paperwork and incompetence of the highest magnitude, while you get to eat cakes and sweeties. My day already sucks and it’s only 6:30 in the morning. I hate you Glassninja. I’m complaining to John. You need a ban. Excessive happiness =(
What’s that, you say? It’s preposterous to put a hand turkey on a cake? Behold!
I’m seriously gonna shove that cake up your…no…it look stoo good to waste…uuurr..slurp..on no, my screen is all sloppy! Damn you Ninja!!
@Glassninja: Actually, I’m kind of impressed by this cake because it looks like an honest to god hand turkey outline and the frosting looks like it hasn’t been touched. Real hand outline, or really good likeness?
@Jenny Rouse: It’s a real hand, lightly traced with a skewer while holding it just off of the surface. I wish I had that kind of skill to just freehand it, though.
@Glassninja: I figured it was a hand held just above the cake, but I’m clumsy enough that I couldn’t do that without at least dipping a finger into the frosting and hastily covering it up with more frosting.
I just love that my little throwaway post about cake is currently the most discussed thing on Nukezilla.
I don’t see why it’s so surprising. Games are cool and all, but cake is cake! I can’t think of many (really any) things more important.
@Glassninja: I concede your point, sir.
Though for me, it depends on the type of cake. Yeah. Take THAT.
