Someday... Someday soon, the Kotaku Cake archive will overtake "GameCakes.com". Until then, we wait.

@TheDollHouse:

I'm not. If you didn't have 'it', his tongue would be useless 'on you'. Or so by my interpretation.

We're not quite on the same wavelength, it seems, but at least we both know what we were talking about on our own side of the interweb.

@SolCutter: Seems about right. Mine made us read books about old ladies hitting on/sleeping with young men, and she was about 60 or so...just old enough to make it really creepy.

So where is the bee mario cake? Cake-makers GO!

I had a professor like that.
In one of my lit classes.

It didn't matter what we read, she always found symbolism for her favorite theme.

Essentially if a woman wrote it, the tale was symbolic triumph for womens liberation.

If a man wrote it, it was misogynistic propaganda to keep the woman down.

Lucky me ... I was one of only 2 guys in my class.
Myself, and I'm sure my male classmate as well, now know what it feels like to be exclusively blamed for all the worlds ills.

@Heliophage: It's sounds like you're a little confused on what I was talking about sweetheart. ;)

On Topic: Looking at that cake again I can feel myself getting diabetes. It looks so sugary!

@TheDollHouse: @geekgrrl: With respect, I'm willing to accept the possibility of exceptions and outliers and whatnot, so you can consider yourselves fully exempted from my rash generalization.

Actually, I understand most women feel the way you do, which makes the artistic obsession all the more mystifying.

Ah, I didn't realize the tongue folded over onto the plate. I'm not sure how I missed that.

@TheDollHouse: "Actually I'm not too fond of it... I wouldn't mind Mario using that thing on me."

Sounds like you have conflicting interests. :P

...Not to make light of whatever scars your past; only of the bait that ellipses so kindly highlight.

At first glance I thought the tongue was his arm and the mustache his hand. it looked like he had that hand over the mouth, deep in thought, look to it. then I read and realized it was a tongue.

I'm a dork.

@TheDollHouse: i'm so with you, hon.

re cake: i think it looks AWESOME, although a little strange, since it's all fondant.. and what happened? did a boo gobble mario and...become him? or vice versa? or...

@Honus_W_Scruggs: I don't worship my vagina. Actually I'm not too fond of it. All it's brought me is suffering and pain...and since I respect the male population at Kotaku I'll leave it at that.

Back on Topic: That cake is pretty well done. That tongue is amazing. I wouldn't mind Mario using that thing on me. At first I thought the plate was apart of the actual cake.

this cake was so effing tasty. almond filling, sandwiched between two layers of chocolate cake that was borderline brownie, and coconut cheesecake icing covered in a thin layer of marshmallow fondant.

the nose is a coconut butter bun. *salivates

That story about your teacher reminds me of my girlfriend, who can explain how every piece of art created by a woman is about one or more vaginas. Turns out chicks WORSHIP their privates. More than men, even. Who knew?

Not content with merely finding death in every book, I had a teacher who actually decided that the use of the color red meant death in "Grapes of Wrath", only to tell us that the color black meant the same thing barely three chapters later. She had a bit of a problem if you ask me.

In other news though, this is the best game cake I've seen in a while! Awesome job!

sloppy tounge work...wwwwWwwwwwwwWW

Looks nice, but it looks like it's got a really hard hard layer of icing on it, you know...that really sugary-not-soft shell of a thing called icing.

That alone has me turned off to the Boo.....now if this was an upside down pineapple cake in a homeage to Sunshine....meh...who am I kidding. I'd eat the hell out of it, with no sloppy tounge work.

That's unfortunate, Fahey. In high school, I had an english teacher who was instead obsessed with being only 4 years older than me, funny, witty, smart, and gorgeous.

I miss high school...

Also, that cake looks so delicious and moist.

In a weird coincidence, CNN just published a story on why people with sloppy tongue work don't get to second base ... no, seriously: [www.cnn.com]
