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.

Nicely shaped, good attention to detail. The only thing that could improve this one is if it was a birthday cake and the candles were inside the cartridge slot, which you would then have to open and blow into in order to have all of your birthday wishes come true. Still think a better choice would have been the Snes, because then you could use a buttercream frosting with a little caramelized sugar on top to simulate yellowing plastic...damn it. Now you've got me doing it too.

Soon I'll end up like Bonnie over at Heroine Sheik, who has been reduced to obsessively creating game cake mosaics. I picture her rocking manically back and forth in her head as she cuts and pastes again and again, chanting "cakes!" and giggling in a broken sort of way. Michael Fahey
