Picture: Portal Companion Cube Cake

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: September 1, 2008

It’s been a while we had a cake to add to our geeky cake gallery, and when I saw this I fell in love. I mean, it’s Portal, it’s cake, what more could you possibly want?

Flickr user freeforged had this cake ordered for her by her boyfriend, who obviously loves her very much. That, or he just loves Portal a lot and wanted it for himself, which sounds more like the kind of thing that I would do.

It was made by Candy Haven in Denton, Texas.

Wall-E Cake!

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: August 19, 2008

Seems that, for a film all about pollution and saving the earth, Pixar’s Wall-E sure does have a lot of merchandise. Still, at least this paticular item won’t be left to rot in a landfill somewhere if it’s anywhere near as tasty as it looks!

Found in the Flickr photostream of donbuciak. Be sure to check out our ever-growing geek cake gallery too!

Tasty Tasty NES Cake

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: August 7, 2008

It’s been a while since we had a cake on here isn’t it? Oh, no it isn’t. Oh well.

Seems like the big trend this year is “geek cakes”, cakes of geek-tastic things like computers, games, etc. - so much so that we even have our very own gallery of them. The tasty creation you see above fits right into that category, and was made for a member of Kotaku who is leaving for a new job. On the construction of the cake, they had this to say:

“The cake is yellow, the controller is two Hershey bars with nougat between them, connected to the cake by black licorice, and the whole thing is that hard-sugar frosting.”

I’m not entirely sure what that means either, but it sure is a nice cake.

Xbox 360 Wedding Cake

Xbox 360 Wedding Cake

You’d have to be pretty sad to have an Xbox 360 cake at your wedding… Pretty sad and pretty damn cool all at the same time. So here it is, an Xbox 360 wedding cake. What else can I say?

Well, other than making some jokes about red rings of death and maybe taking some cheap shot at the PS3. But that’s not how we roll here at TTB, so just sit there and revel in the cakey goodness.

 
 
 
 

…PS3 sucks!

Cake… The Final Frontier…

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: July 26, 2008

Check out these pictures of this sweet Star Trek cake, which was recently featured on my new favourite site, Geekcake. As with many of these awesome baked creations it was made by Ace of Cakes for their show on The Food Network.

Om Nom Nom, Portal Cookies!

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: July 23, 2008

I'm making a note here, huge success

These weighted companion cube cookies, from promising-sounding new nerdy pastry blog Geekcake, are some of the tastiest looking Portal merchandise I’ve seen so far. Not only that, but they were apparently made with leftover pastry from making Battlestar Galactica cookies.

Mario Cake Is Full Of Win, Possibly Some Chocolate Too

Mario Wedding Cake

I’ll forego the usual cakey introduction as I’m sure you all know the score by now. Team Teabag loves geeky cake, yada yada yada. Now, on to the cake in hand… Read the rest of this entry »

R2-D2 Cake, Star Wars Wedding, Scary Stuff

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: May 12, 2008

R2-D2 Wedding Cake

Here we have an R2-D2 cake, created by a Gizmodo reader for a Star Wars themed wedding. Yes indeed, people apparently do have such things, although God only knows why they’d want to do such a thing.

Getting married, that is.

Anyway, as we are big lovers of all things cake here at TTB I thought I should share this with everyone. This R2-D2 cake is a little bit special, however, as it’s sweet frosted goodness has been adorned with camera lenses and other such inedible tech detritus - just remember to eat around that stuff, mmmkay?

(via Gizmodo, who have more pictures and even a video!)
