26 Cakes Perfect for Geeks

Here is the most awesome list of cakes and cupcakes (perfect for Geeks).

1. Geek Cupcakes!!! Too Cute!

These are by far my favorite cupcakes EVER! How cute are the pencil protectors, taped glasses and compasses? Yummo!  Made by Hey There, Cupcake! found on Flickr.

2.  R2D2 Cake Updated: R2M5 Cake

img_2076-for-ben

Mark Randazzo, who has a  bakery, Mark Joseph Cakes, got a lot of buzz for his cake-making skills on BoingBoing, Gizmodo, Elite Choice and more.  Now, you can get the instructions on how to make your very own R2D2 R2M5 cake at B-Side Blog from Mark. The legs are made from Rice Crispie treats too!

*UPDATE* – Thanks everyone for pointing out this is not R2D2! I made the update and need to polish up on my Start Wars trivia.

3. Pacman Cupcakes

So these are CUPCAKES and not a cake… but too cute to resist. This is perfect for any kid who grew up in the 80′s.  From Flickr user hello naomi – these PacMan cupcakes look too delicious to eat.

4. For the Dungeon & Dragons Geek (via Geekologie)

Dragon Cake

This delicious dragon was made by Mike’s Amazing Cakes for some kind of Dungeon and Dragon party.  If you can’t afford to have one made, you can try to make your own dragon cake – but it probably won’t be quite as amazing.

5. For the Camera Geek

A Nikon Camera Cake (via fsumaria).  This cake is from a bakery in  Pennsylvania called Granny Schmidt’s. The outside was made of fondant and the inside is red velvet cake.

6. Super Mario Cake

This cake was actually made for a wedding! I wonder if the bride was dressed as Peach. Actually, after the bride and groom went around looking for a Mario and Peach wedding topper, the bride decided to surprise the groom on their wedding day with this masterpiece. Read the full story here.

7. Wii Cake for Gamer Geeks

wiicake

Back in July, 2007 Wired Magazine’s “How To” feature included a Wii Cake that was inedible due to support structures.  However, Brian Walak actually created one that you can in fact eat – and ended up on Martha’s show.  Here’s instructions on how to make your own Wii cake and is another wii cake version by craftastica.  I wonder if Martha has ever even played a Wii?

8. iPhone Cake

iphone-cake

I love my iPhone and think this cake might just be one of the easier ones because of the simple shape.  All you need is a steady hand for the icing. [Via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs]

9. Laptop Cake

lap-top-cake

By Small Things Iced – Everything is edible except for the screen, it is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream covered (bottom layer) with blue fondant and then the top layer (laptop) is the same but covered with grey fondant then painted silver.

10.  Tux the Linux Penguin

This one is perfect for your open source geek. See how to make your own at Killer Cakes.

14. Mario Kart Wedding Cake

15. Super Mario Cupcakes

Continuing on the Mario theme, next up are these Super Duper Super Mario CupcakesDebbie Does Cakes has a nice version of Super Mario Cupcakes as well.

16. Sushi Cake (not made of fish)

sushicake

Found over at geekadelphia, made by  Zoe Lukas this is made out of spiced carrot ginger cake with cream cheese icing. All those cute little details, the chopsticks, soy sauce bowl, snap peas… they aren’t plastic. Those are edible, made out of gum-paste, and the bamboo, wasabi, ginger… made out of fondant. The rice is coconut.  If you have a hankering for twinkies, check out hostess snack cake sushi or look at these stunning sushi cupcakes on Flickr by Debbie Does Cakes.

17. Beer Bottle Cake for Beer Geeks

beercake

Debbie Does  Cakes is the master behind this cool Beer bottle cake too. What can she NOT do?

Update: I had to blur the bottle because I was told it was using a trademark even though I did not make the cake. Still it’s an amazing cake.

18. Yoda Cake for Star Wars Geeks

Defies gravity, this Yoda Cake Does… yes… hmm?

19. Nintendo Cake [source Geek Cake blog]

The cake is yellow, the controller is two Hershey bars with nougat between them, connected to the cake by black licorice, and the whole thing is that hard-sugar frosting.

20. Lego Cupcakes

These Lego cupcakes are made by another Flickr baking super star Hello Naomi.  I love playing with Legos!

24. Raving Rabid Cake

ravingrabbis

Raving Rabbids happens to be one of my favorite games on the Wii.  Found this cake on Flickr.

25. Gutiar Hero II Cake

I have yet to play Gutiar Hero but my guess is that I would be horrible at it because I have a really bad ear for making music. I tried playing the violin in grade school and was always in the last chair. Anyway, if you want to make your own Guitar Hero Cake, check out this detailed tutorial.

26. Mac Mini Cake

normal_macminibcake

This cake was made for boy’s 15th birthday. (via here)

    Wowie!! These are awesome. Be sure and check this one out too, someone made the cake from Portal. Not only that, it was, in fact, “a lie”, because underneath was a real cake featuring Rick Astley! The partygoers got rickrolled… by a cake.

    http://cypher-sec.org/zen/cache/PlurkCake/200812174275.jpg_w480.jpg

    Here is one I made for Plurk (the social network). :)

    Sans Fondant

    One thing I can’t stand with most cool cakes (not assuming any of these are) but when inedible props are used (like sticks and stuff). :( I want the whole thing to be edible… even if you have to use rice crispy or hard sugar. :)

    But those above rock!!

    Ha ha ha ha ha- i love the dragon cake, and the very best part is that he’s holding a D20…. genius.

    Other than that, i think the Apple apple pie looks delish, and i am amazed that the little cross-hatching didn’t fall into the pie! Skillz.

    Thanks for all the photos, anyway!
