angrybirdcake

Ben. You are one lucky kid. Awesome dad, Mike Cooper of ElectricPig put together an pretty awesome interactive cake for his son’s sixth birthday. Instead of going to the local market and picking up a less than spectacular sheet cake, Mike took it upon himself to create an amazing ‘Angry Birds’ game cake for his kid. In the video, you can see the amount of time, effort, and chocolate cake it took to put together this elaborate cake. On top of that, Mike put together some edible “Angry Birds” ammunition made of (what looks to be) modeling chocolate. This cake is not just for looks. The cake comes with a working catapult that Ben uses to to shoot the birds at the sculpture. The cake took 10 hours to make, but took Ben only a couple minutes to demolish. It seems tragic for all that work to go to waste, but from the look on Ben’s face, I think it was well worth it for Dad. Did I mention that Ben is one lucky kid?

Hit the jump to check out an awesome video of the Angry Birds cake being made and destroyed.

I take great pride in featuring really cool geek edibles. iGT has already featured geek inspired cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. Now we get the chance to feature geek bon-bons. If you don’t know what a bon-bon is, bon-bons are chocolate and truffle confections. Sweets artisan, Ana Fuji of Campinas, Brazil is well known in the flickr community of creating some deliciously geeky chocolates. Ana has the ability to mold fondant into cute miniatures of characters from Super Mario Bros., Poke’mon, and Alice in Wonderland. Best yet, all these creations are edible. I wonder if I ate the fire flower power up truffle, I would get to shoot balls of fire. Hit the jump to see Ana’s wonder creations.
