I absolutely have to share this great geek-cake-of-win that was made by my friend Kirsty for her husband, John’s 30th Birthday. John is co-founder of gaming blog and retro console shop angrydinosaur.co.uk, so this cake works on so many levels.
Gotta love that little Shy Guy down there, but wait, no Luigi?
My daughter is very into “Gir” these days – the sidekick from the Invader Zim cartoon. She’s hoping to pull together a Gir costume for Halloween. So in researching various DIY options, I pulled together this roundup of Gir crafts.
BehindtheSofa created her own Gir cross-stitch pattern, and stitched it onto a black hoodie.
When I was a kid, I used to love Shrinky Dinks, so these Dog Gir/Robot Gir earrings by Lynn Aquaheart caught my eye.
Yeah, you read that right. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this cake based on the personality cores from Portal 2. I thought I had made some sort of mistake, but check out this picture of the cake being cut. I could never be a baker, because if I made a cake this awesome and someone tried to cut into it I don’t know what I would do. Certainly we would be in the newspaper the next day.
The cake was made by the talent over at Mike’s Amazing Cakes in Redmond, WA. I have attempted to make a cake in the past, and failed horribly, so I can’t even imagine the kind of work that would go into something like this.

DAMN that’s some CAKE!!!
I like baking cake, I find it therapeutic. To the point where if The Husb0t ever comes home to find me baking, the first thing he does (after he does his *yeyy for cake* dance) is ask me what’s wrong… I’d love to think I’d have the patience to bake this bad boy. The utter joy on the faces of the party-goers, cutting open the apparently featureless white exterior, to find the colourful, 80′s, childhood glee inside must be enough to make the painstaking construction worthwhile.
Want to know another brain-meltingly AMAZING fact about this cake, when Vicky from Statsy posted the recipe online, she actually got an e-mail from THE Erno Rubik – yuh-huh – the maker of the cube! – saying that he liked the cake! wow that must’ve been a real goosebump moment opening THAT e-mail!!
There is nothing about this Wonder Woman cake I don’t love! The fondant crown is amazing, and the lasso between the layers is perfect. Even the flavors are right up my alley: “the bottom is lemon with raspberry cream cheese frosting and the top is marble vanilla chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting”. RCKFELLA made this gorgeous cake for her friend’s mother’s birthday. And it’s completely from scratch! I think I know what I want for my birthday!
Geekcrafts Reader Kayla sent us this sweet picture (hahah) of the Zombie Braincakes she made for her Zombie Research Society meeting.
Man I love cake…
I’m pretty sure I’d still love cake even if it’s covered in fake blood…
I reckon these’d go down a storm at your local church bake sale.
