Monday, March 15th, 2010For her son’s 10th birthday in January, Barbarann G. crafted this 32″-inch tall, 70 lbs, almost-100%-edible cake based on Brutal Legend, the Jack-Black-voiced video game.

Thursday, March 4th, 2010So, “Lia” and her fiance went to the trouble of programming Super-Mario-like 8-bit video games* to serve as the invitations to their wedding.

Hope for Mankind: Most Grateful Kid Ever Gets an Xbox 360
Sunday, December 27th, 2009I have bemoaned many-a-time the horrific extent to which parents spoil their small children with outrageous gifts and birthday cakes. For one, none of these kids have been alive long enough to have done anything to deserve a $500 cake. (Cure a communicable disease and we’ll talk about a pizza party, kid. Maybe.)
