Cake of the Lich King

by Mike Schramm Nov 24th 2008 at 2:30PM

If there's one thing we love, it's cake. If there's two things we love, it's World of Warcraft and cake. And so, when our two favorite things are combined, as they were by reader Mike W's girlfriend (he plays Valaar on Kargath), we get more excited than Millhouse Manastorm when he's about to light some sweet-cheeks up. She made this confectionary piece of art for his birthday the other day, and we think you'll agree that Arthas has never looked tastier.

And Mike points out that this is completely and totally hand- and icing tip-made -- no fondant here. Beautiful. I especially like the "spikes" around the outside -- I don't know if that was designed that way, or just the way it looks when you put icing on a cake like that, but it looks great. If we had Dalaran Cooking Awards to give away, she'd get one.

We've added the cake to our ever-growing gallery of favorite Warcraft-related cakes -- if you've got another one, feel free to send it in.

Cue "the cake is a lie" jokes...

That cake is no lie.

Delicious, if a bit blurry.

THIS WAS A TRIUMPH.

What are those terrifying things coming out of his gauntlets?

Those "fingers" kinda kill the whole thing for me. I can't stop staring at them... it really takes away from the rest of the cake, which looks pretty cool.

I agree. Don't get me wrong. It looks awesome. I just think he should have went with a lighter color.

Yums!

THE PIE IS A TRUTH!

That's awesome. I want an Arthas cake for my birthday now :-D

Somehow, Frostingmourne isn't quite as scary.

Wrath of the Lich Cake.

But the question on everyone's minds: is it a (frozen) ice cream cake?

Ametrine Nov 24th 2008 3:44PM

Well, that would just be perfect, wouldn't it?

...damn, now I'm wondering what Arthas' favorite flavor is.

Cobbler is 10x better than cake. Cake is the Toyota camry of the dessert world. It will bring you to your destination fine, but man is it boring. Cobbler on the other hand is special, hot, can be served up with ice cream. Cobbler is the Z06 of the dessert world. Its hot and has style.

Yeah. But how do you make cobbler look like the lich king? Let alone anything.

Naix Nov 24th 2008 5:02PM

Why would you want to make it look like the lich king? Desserts are all about taste. Presentation...not so much.

Thank guys, my girlfriend Tess (Erelia and Rayvin on Kargath) was shocked when I put this up here. She didn't think it was that good. But I loved it.

FYI, no it's not frozen or icecream, but it is 4 layers at an inch and half a layer with icing inbetween layers.

It was amazing with Buttercream icing.
