“All They Hear Is ‘Who Wants Cake?'”
BuzzFeed has assembled a link collection of the nerdiest cakes ever created, and they are no lie (for those of you keeping score at home, that’s a Strangers With Candy reference and a Portal reference so far). While the stack of video game consoles is impressive, particularly since it was for the bride (!), I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Optimus Prime upper torso, the D&D Monster Manual (treasure type D, for delicious!) or the edible Max Rebo. But I always thought Max Rebo would taste like frosting anyways.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
