The ultimate birthday cake: The “Pac-Man arcade console cake”

This year for your birthday, don’t settle for just any cake. Normal people eat normal cake. We’re far from normal here at Gadgetsteria. And chances are ,if you’ve come here more than once, you too fit the same bill that we do. Hey, don’t take it as a criticism. It takes a special kind of person to be a geek. Aaaaaand back on topic…

The traditional cake is out. The geek cake is in. What exactly constitutes a geek cake? Anything really. It doesn’t necessarily have to be an electronic or gadget. Though those things certainly don’t hurt. If I had to vote on what I thought was “the ultimate” geek cake, something retro would definitely come to mind. Pac-Man perhaps?

What you’re looking at above is the work of Seattle’s Jet City Cakes. Attention to detail and all the little trinkets weren’t spared. Everything form the red tipped joystick to the Pac-Man dots on screen to the fake coin slot — this cake has it all. Better than any tricky design however is the message. In this case, it’s a heart warmer. All I can say is that I hope my kids look up to their dad and feel the need to buy him an ultra geeky cake, Pac-Man or not.

Almost a shame to eat such a work of art isn’t it?
