The Life-Sized Stormtrooper You Can Eat

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:30:00 EST

Over the years, Kotaku has posted so many cakes that the site is now jaded. It takes a lot to impress. It takes a life-sized Stormtrooper. More »

This is a pretty great replica of Portal 2's Space Core. The scale is good, the colours are right, the lighting looks spot on, and I bet it was delicious. Wait, what? More »

The Fully Playable Angry Birds Birthday Cake Is Amazing

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:40:00 EST

We've posted a few zillion video game themed cakes on Kotaku, but rarely do they impress as much as this Angry Birds-inspired creation. It's one of the rare birthday cakes that's actually playable. More »

Nothing Says 2010 Like One Hundred Cupcakes

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 03:00:00 EST

Every year, jewelry maker Robin Dahlberg at Steelhead Studio throws a big game party to ring in the new year. This year Dahlberg and co. did more than that — they made one hundred gaming cupcakes. More »

This Left 4 Dead Birthday Cake Looks Infected

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:40:25 EDT

I'm torn. On the one hand, I love Left 4 Dead. On the other, I love cake. A lot. Surprisingly, bringing the two hands together results in total revulsion. More »

I Hunger... For This Fabulous Sinistar Cake!

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:20:12 EST

Seems we're back on the cake(s). This one, a remarkable achievement unearthed (read: re-blogged) by the eagle-eyed gang at Arcade Heroes, was created for a Killer List of Video Games message board poster and presumed Sinistar fan by a co-worker. We can only assume that by "co-worker", the poster means "best friend in the universe" and "the only one who understands my true passion." It's really quite glorious in it's full-sized form, but remember that there are only about three Sinistar jokes one can make and I've already made one of them. Comment carefully! More »

Happy Birthday PS3, The Cake

Mark Wilson — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:40:27 EST

While we're still a day away from the PlayStation 3's first birthday, Sony is already sending out some cakes to celebrate. This particular sugary concoction didn't go to us, but here's what recipient Russell Heimlich had to say.

Sony sent our office a birthday cake celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the PS3. The picture is one of those sugar print outs. The cake tastes a bit sour kind of like the price of this outrageous gaming machine.

Ouch. More »

Not Another Nintendo Mini-Cake Collection!

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:20:00 EST

Things tend to get a little hairy on NPD sales data day, which, by the way, is not over yet. Media Create sales are due any minute now, so we'll see precisely how well Sony performed with its new 40GB edition of the PlayStation 3 and we expect comments from The Big 3 within the hour. Given all that, Super Mario Bros. cupcakes, specifically, would be a nice break right about now. Something short, sweet, pick up and eat, with that thick leathery frosting might cleanse the palette of bitter fanboy tears. More »

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Caker

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:40:24 EDT

What hath a new video game cake post wrought? A flood of new video game cake submissions! While I certainly don't plan on making a habit of publishing daily posts on nerdy wedding desserts (or fashioning awful pun headlines), someone's gone ahead and done something awesome again, forcing my hand to set this post to "Publish" status. Reader Ash and her husband had this fantastic The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker cake made for their wedding day, writing that "this was the one way we could really express ourselves in the wedding without making parents go crazy." Full shots after the jump. More »

The Zelda Vodka Luge (And Um... Mario Wedding Cake)

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:20:18 EDT

We're well aware of the fact that some of our readers are so humorless, so singularly focused on complaining between bouts of waiting to die, that the posting of kitschy video game cakes makes their blood boil. But, when someone delivers frosted awesome into our tips inbox, giving us a view into their wedding day baked goods, we're just pleased as punch. Take, for example, newlywed Cory of Blizzard Entertainment who had this gorgeous cake designed to commemorate the last day of his bachelorhood featuring a three-tiered Super Mario Bros. stack of deliciousness.

More Damn Cakes

Mike Fahey — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:40:22 EST

Okay people, apparently we are going a bit cake crazy as of late. I am scared to open my inbox for fear of cake spilling out all over the place, making me spend hours scraping frosting off of press releases and screenshots. Take this one, for instance, from Kotakuite Adam's wedding rehearsal dinner. More »

Let Them Eat Game Cakes

fdemarco — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 07:30:18 EST

In a world of DIY everything and the rise of The Food Network, everyone is jumping on the cooking bandwagon. In the last year or so, game themed cakes have been all the rage and we've seen some really incredible ones like the Mario Brothers wedding cake which pretty much puts all other game cakes to shame.

3D Arcade Cakes

Brian Crecente — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:00:22 EDT

Here in the Kotaku secret lair we've seen our fair share of video game-inspired cakes and edibles. In fact, I was pretty certain I was beyond being impressed. But the always-delightful Alice over at Wonderland managed to dig up some delectable that are truly stunning. The GBA and NES 3D cakes are kinda cool, but check out these sweet mini-arcade cabinets. Man, I need to eat a Joust machine on my birthday. NEED TO! Brian Crecente More »
