This Necron Monolith Brings Legions of Evil Undead Robots, Delicious Birthday Wishes
Topless Robot is hardly the 24-hour nerd cake newscenter that Great White Snark is, but when someone sends me a cake, I don’t ignore it. Especially when the cake is based on a rather large miniature from Warhammer 40,000. Skinnytie made this amazing Necron Monolith cake for his gal pal StillwaterBalm’s birthday. The miracle, of course, is not his incredible baking/icing skills, but that he knows a girl who actively wanted a Warhammer 40,000 cake at all — it’s kind of like finding out unicorns exist. See more pics of the cake in all his evil Necron glory here.

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.
