Sunday Sweets: Game On!
Last week you may have heard all the brouhaha over the release of Portal 2. And you may also - like me - belong to certain social subsets that not only have no interest in video games, but would, upon questioning, ask what "port holes" have to do with anything anyway.
Well, never fear, fellow gamer geeks! Because today's Sweets are all about video games, and this is a safe place to geek out *AND* enjoy amazingly made cakes.

Whooooo...lives in Ryan's Rapture under the sea?
Sub-ject Del-ta!
Sub'd by Barbara G. & made by her brother, Doug.
Amazing and detailed and edible is he!
Plus I love the checkered floor.
(There's another Bioshock Sweet here.)
In honor of Portal 2's release, last weekend John and I finally played the first one - finishing up right around dawn. (Have I mentioned we have a hard time quitting a game once we've started? Heh.) Needless to say, now I have a new appreciation for this companion cube groom's cake:

Remember: your weighted companion cube cannot speak. But if it could, I'm sure it would say, "I'm delicious."
Time for another old-school goodie:
Who else remembers these? Eh?
(Wow. You guys are OLD.)
(Just kidding. Hey, I remember Pong! [But only because my grandparents had an old one in storage. Honest.])
Moving up to the newest handhold gaming device: your iPhone...
Sub'd by Kristy L. & made by Sweet Disposition Cakes
See? ADORABLE. And just look at all that detail! Ah-MAZ-ing.
(Love the mushroom candle holders.)
Or Zelda!
Anyone else play Cut the Rope? I did for a bit, until it got too hard for my spatially-challenged brain. John loved it, though.
Anyway, this is one of those rare Sweets that makes my jaw hit the desk. The baker used multiple techniques like modeling with krispy treats, sugar glass (for the window), stenciling, and - what I found most impressive - even made the shiny "packing tape" out of gelatin:
WOW.
D'awwww.
Well, that's our Sweets for today.
Now, go play!

Let's start with some old-school gamer goodness everyone will recognize:

There are lots of amazing Angry Birds cakes out there now, but this was the first to go viral - and with good reason. John will tell you I've had my 'Birds obsession renewed recently with the Easter theme addition. What can I say? There's just something about knocking pink bunny ears off green pigs that's oddly...soothing. :D
Here's a game I've been meaning to try for a long time now: machinarium
. It's a puzzle game you play on your computer, and it has the most *adorable* little robots:

Another game I can't believe I haven't played yet is Little Big Planet:
Really, I'm just a sucker for protagonists who'd make good plushies.
More classics: we can't have a game post without Mario!
