This is the birthday cake made by Wedding Cakes By Nicole featuring Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Tetris and Frogger scenes on each side, and Pong on the top. And if you think I wouldn't peel all those characters off and eat them you are wrong. Dead wrong. If you were a video game y... / Continue →

This is a shot of the Pokemon card themed birthday party invitations Redditor jerrikag made for her son Logan's 6th birthday. Pretty clever. So clever I sent out Magic: The Gathering themed invites for my party this year. I'm not sure if my idiot friends can't read or what, ... / Continue →

This is the animated Skyward Sword themed cake Kotaku reader Will Turnbow and his wife made for their daughter's (no word what her name is, so we'll just call her Lucky) 10th birthday party. It has a bunch of animated characters that move around and make me all jealous of a ch... / Continue →

This is the Hylian shield cake made by Redditor Riorus' mom for his 18th birthday. Impressive, but do you know what my mom made me for my 18th birthday? Pack all my stuff and get out of the house. I guess she didn't feel like baking. Hit the jump for a couple more shots. N... / Continue →

This is the Imperial Star Destroyer birthday cake made by Lorenzo Wood (links to Flickr album of the entire build) for his son Alexander. The cake sits atop a custom base Lorenzo made that had light up windows and BONUS thruster flare effects. There's a video of those doing t... / Continue →

Note: Higher res version HERE. This is redditor Nocturnal_Nick's friend of a friend's birthday cake. Based on my powers of deductive reasoning, I'm going to say the birthday boy's name is Kevin, and he just turned 16. "Dammit GW, could you be any stupider?" Only if I was my... / Continue →

Note: Not my cake but that would have been cool. So I had a birthday yesterday and it was a huge success provided success is measured in near-death experiences (which it is). August 13th is always International Left Hander's Day so I'm celebrating that today because I'm a sou... / Continue →

Note: Full-res version HERE to print out and hang in your cubicle (save the file to see it even bigger). Okay so "updated" might not be the right word, since it's the exact same geek zodiac I posted last year, just a nicer looking version. Think of it as like when a cereal c... / Continue →

This is a video of father Rob Kiebler returning home after a yearlong tour in Afghanistan to surprise his son Danny at his birthday party by dressing as a Jedi. I cried, okay?! HARD. Still am. I'm blowing snot bubbles over here. Danny was celebrating his birthday with fami... / Continue →
