A little over a week ago we celebrated my birthday with raucous partying and the like, it’s always good to get a large group of friends together for communal debauchery. However, what really made the day for me was my lovely wife’s efforts into creating what has to be one of the best birthday cakes I will ever have. Not only did it taste great, but it bore the visage of one of the pixelated masters of my childhood.
That’s right, Megaman in all of his icing-based pixel glory! She rather painstakingly mixed and piped four different colors of icing onto the 3-tier cake, with great success I might add. My personal love affair with the blue bomber begins a long time ago back with the second NES game, but I quickly went back and played the first one and probably spent countless hours of my life playing every single NES and SNES version that I could get my hands on up through high school.
You might remember how happy I was to learn that a retro-styled MegaMan 9 was coming out for the X-Box and Wii, or about how utterly disappointed I was with the game in the end. Nonetheless, I am still quite prone to inserting random Megaman references into nearly every aspect of my life!
The cake has since been wholly devoured, but I took a series of pictures that I will post on my flickr page eventually. Here’s one that best shows a closer detail of how the piping looked.
Practically needless to say, but I will anyway: Thank you Becky, this was beyond awesome, and I love you!
Awwww, that is just too adorable.

If your cake kills other cakes, does it usurp other delicious frosting powers? 🙂
