I admit it; I'm a games junkie. I strive to incorporate games into every facet of my way-more-boring-than-most-game-plots (Except for 'Mr. Mosquito') life. So naturally, when I got engaged to my then non-gamer husband (I've converted him a bit), I knew that I had to take charge of my wedding and make it reflect my... ahem, tastes. My options were limited. As a woman planning a wedding, you're SOL if you want anything different from white doves, posies, and chubby little Cupie doll looking cherubs gracing your virginally white wedding cake. These cakes were boring. They were pretty, if you're into that kind of stuff, but still really boring. In my desperation, I started thinking about the craziest things I could make it out of -- I was obsessed with making this cake reflect what I was most passionate about in my life. It boiled down to this: I really wanted a four layer made with my precious game consoles. However, no cake maker would touch it. As luck would have it, I ran across this fabulous, much more unconventional cake making site where the baker was down to try whatever. This masterpiece was our composite brain child and the most emotionally painful thing I've ever had to destroy to eat.
As you can see, the bottom layer is my fabulous Xbox 360. On top of that is my PS2 and the next layer is my Xbox. If you look closely enough, you can see the DVD remote sensor in a controller port. Such attention to detail! Topping the entire masterpiece (as it should) is the limited edition 'Legend of Zelda' gold GameCube. The back of the cake received just as much love as the front, as you can even see the handle on the GameCube. Cutting that cake with my husband was seriously the hardest thing I've had to do in our marriage. Luckily, I've help onto the icing controllers and the golden GameCube is still in my freezer in wait of our 1 year anniversary. Traditions be damned. There's no way I'm eating that.
