Apr 10 2009+10 HP: D&D Dungeon Master Cake
D&D co-creator Dave Arneson passed away earlier this week, and, in his honor, I'm posting a cake. This particular Dungeons & Dragons themed treat was made for a Dungeon Master operating in the Philadelphia area.
In honor of his birthday, Katie Lanciano, on of the the players in his game made him this out of control cake. The 3D DM is a fairly accurate cake effigy of my brother in a 1st Edition style D and D robe. There are marzipan characters to represent all the players in the campaign. The bard is playing a fiddle! There is a marzipan owl/familiar, the symbol of Boccob on the side, and a perfectly accurate DM's guide. Plus an apple of discord. Wow.
Impressive. And based on a quick calculation, I estimate the cake provides approximately +10 HP per slice. But sadly, also +15 runs and -5 TP. Um, WORTH IT!
Hit the jump for a couple more and the link to the whole gallery.

Thanks to Matt, who once ate his weight in marzipan and then was twice his normal weight.

Why does the big face on the cake look like My Little Pony?

I applied for Dungeon Master once....then they said I sucked and to never come back...I should have never showed them my pewter figurine of a elvin-mage. Gosh nerds get jealous!

Looks like they tried to put makeup over a bullet hole in the forehead. Maybe the DM got the living hell beat out of him before getting shot in the face. That would explain the stunning good looks.

i want to eat this, but the 3 molars i had pulled out 1 impacted would probably kill me with all the sugar i might go into some kind of pain overload, man i could totally eat that off a naked gamer chick

i was a good dungeon master, i used to user poker cards and cards from magic the gathering so they could see what was going to corn hole their character.... you have just been anally ravaged by a pink pony named cupcake.

Where's Daisy and her "Fake! Photoshopped/shadow/Never Back Down!" comment? I love those almost as much as marzipan "Dark Crystal" slave guys.

You make my head hurt Ollie.

What the hell is that supposed to be. That looks downright retarded, monstertrucker.

Is it Kike, Gordon?

That cake is simultaneously disturbing and really cool. It looks neat, but I'm not sure I'd want to actually eat it. (Then again, I say the same thing about all the Ace of Cakes show cakes.)
