Carol Gambrel went to a bakery to buy her 22-year old daughter Laura a cake to celebrate her recent graduation from Indiana University. She got one of those photo cakes and requested the icer add a cap on top of Laura's head. But, you know, cap sounds a lot like cat. She tho... / Continue →

This is the earth cake with different colored interior layers baked inside each other by Rhiannon of Baking Adventures. And for the record, I lied in the title, the cake isn't spherical, it's a hemisphere. That was just me being sensational, and sensation, as I'm sure you're ... / Continue →

This is the Zelda themed Game Boy birthday cake made for *squinting* dammit, ENHANCE PHOTO! Shoot, I still can't read it. Frodzi Wippies? Whatever, the name of who is was made for isn't the point. The point is what the hell is going on with that dude's face on the right? I... / Continue →

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 box of Aperture Laboratories brand cake mix. Apparently it comes with everything you need to make the cake in the picture, except the cherries. Of course a bunch of people on Amazon gave it 1-star for being a lie (LOLOL -- you guys!), so who knows. I think it's just... / Continue →

This is the cake that Chris Holmes used to resign from his job at the Stansted Airport so he could pursue his true passion -- making cakes. He has really nice penmanship (technically icing-bagmanship). Unlike Chris, when I quit a job I don't give my coworkers some tasty treat... / Continue →

This is the realistic looking zombie cake created by the Artisan Cake Company of Portland, Oregon. It's not really cake though, the body was made out of Rice Krispies (or possibly store-brand Crispy Rice), then covered with a modeling chocolate skin and a shredded fondant shir... / Continue →

This is a 3-foot tall LEGO Batman minifig cake made by Mike McCary of Mike's Amazing Cakes. It's impressively accurate. I'm not sure if it's a birthday cake or a wedding cake, so I guess it'll just have to be a secret. Speaking of -- you know what Catwoman told me Batman's b... / 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 →
