MGS: Crab Battle - THE CAKE

http://www.flickr.com/photos/7298932@N03/
Me and my girlfriend made this cake for my friend Jon's birthday. Enjoy the pics. The O RLY cake on that site has me posing next to it.

EDIT: I guess its worth noting that we were going to make the box bigger but decided 3 boxes of cake mix was enough o_o
The box is covered in fondant and painted on with frosting put through a piping bag. The lettering/eyes is done using a stencil and food coloring markers.
The crab and exclamation point are entirely fondant (except for the crab's eyes) and held together using really thin wire that I was having trouble working with, but I like the end result so its okay.
The knife is aluminum foil.

That cake is made of 100% pure win.

I concur...that's one box I wouldn't mind eating

I demand a mirror that isn't blocked on my web filter?

Can anyone throw it up on imageshack.us or something?

LOL Nice! That definitely took way more effort and more patience with kitchen stuff than I possess.

o rly owl ftw.

i like the eyes on the box.

Girls that can cook cakes FTW +1

That is awesome on so many levels.

+1 delicious

Cake may be the best for designing, but pie will always reign supreme for taste. I make an AWESOME peanut butter pie.

pie vs. cake

It depends on whether the cake is and icecream cake or not. Otherwise I agree, Pie wins.

ha, thats cool!

Apple pie with ice cream FTW.
But turtle cake is the best. (Has all kinds of stuff in it, chocolate, caramel, ICE CREAM, peanuts) get one at Baskin Robins its the shizzznit.

I saw the cake on Kotaku. I'm not sure if I like cake or pie better. I shouldn't have to choose a side.

you are the switzerland of deserts.

Hooray for me finally checking out the pics!

Not really caught up on my MGS, since I don't really enjoy the games. Do you fight a crab during one of the infamous cardboard box parts or something?

It's not that you HAVE to CHOOSE a side. It's that Pie is so freaking awesome, you should be on it's side by default.

Pies suck.
