Oct 29 2008Halloweenie: The Compumpkin Cube

compumpkin-cube.jpg

The Compumpkin Cube cake is the lovechild of a companion cube and Jack the Pumpkin King. You can tell because, instead of the little hearts in the center of each side, it has testicular looking pumpkins instead.

First of all, the bottom tier is Chocolate Devil's Food cake and the top tier is Triple Vanilla.

The cube itself is about 8.5" in every dimension before all the bits and bobs were put on. And we made sure it was exactly the same measurement on each side. After buttercreaming it, we put 20 fondant squares (4 to each side) that were painted with moonstone lustre dust. The we put the orange tubing in (which really glowed! It made this cake that much more awesome, plus delivering it at night was fantastic, I kept giggling to myself every time I saw it in my car glowing).

Mmmm, glowing orange tubing and moonstone lustre dust. That, my friends, makes for a great tasting cake. Albeit a cancerous one.

Is the logo on the top/side suppose to look like a huge orange ball sack?

Cake, fake, computers, photoshop, shadows, sweet metal, never back down. Now lets eat cake you fat f***ers.

Fake!!

This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadows are all wrong.

It looks as if its taken from the Portal scene from the movie Never Back Down.

@10 - I was thinking the same thing, except I thought it looked like a SMALL orange ballsack.

Why does this thing remind me of the microwave emitter from Batman Begins? Is someone planning to vaporize someone's water supply with this?

...Yeah, moron. That's exactly what it's for...

funny how the logo looks like a chode that's been cut off on a pair of large balls

every year at the pumpkin harvest, they castrate the male pumpkins to avoid overpopulation. they then use the male balls on cubed shaped cakes. jeez, where did you think pumpkins came from?

ok so Im not a nerd Im a geek .. so can someone tell me WTF is with these cubes?? also PEWPEWPEW to that cube ,,, its gay

The pumpkin-pie is a lie

I'd hit it also!

The quality of my impostor(s) comments is really starting to go downhill. They're not even remotely entertaining anymore.

Isn't this from a video game (not the orange sac)???!?!?!?!???

The cake is truth!

I'm making a note here, HUGE success.

This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
"HUGE SUCCESS!!"

It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must
because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.

I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now-
Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time!
So I'm GLaD I got burned-
Think of all the things we learned-
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke! *HAHA- Fat Chance!*

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking
when there's science to do!
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.
And believe me I am
still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm
still alive.
I feel fantastic and I'm
still alive.
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
And when you're dead I will be
still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.


Sorry, couldn't help it......:)

OMG THE SONG.... its stuck in my head now... This game pissed me off so much.

Hey there,

This is actually one of the people who made the cake. Names Joe, but I go by Kiyoshi.

Im actually quite honored to be featured here, and even more honored that some people think this is a photoshop job. That to me means I made it good enough to make people think it was too good to be real.

Regardless, Im digging that everyone thinks that the pumpkins are ballsacks. That's hilarious. But hey, it's the internet, I wouldnt expect anything less than funny.

I do want to address the flavor. The lustre dust doesnt have any flavor itself. It is mixed with a lemon extract, so it leaves a bit of a citrus taste in your mouth. Of course you have to eat a piece of fondant (something I dont like the taste of, as it is really sweet to me) if you want to try it, and that stuff just peels right off.

Oh, and the line on the top pumpkin is a crack. I was too lazy and too much in a hurry to fix it, and it was for my friends, so I didnt really care.

I couldnt have made this masterpiece without the help of my good friend Maria though, so she deserves just as much credit.

Just wanted to say hi, and cheers! Thanks for all the good, and funny comments from everyone.

Oh, so the cake is NOT a lie :D This is probably the most interesting cake i have ever seen :)
