What can you really say about this? It's simply the most delicious looking 8-bit console we've ever laid eyes on. Now, if someone could just whip up an Xbox 360 hot-fudge sundae or Genesis-brûlée. Hey -- maybe for our next birthday?
It could be more realistic... Pac Man needs an eye, a straight mouth, the dots should look like dashes, and the ghosts should be the same semi-transparent dull color.
Just a heads up on the picky picky folks, the cake was done 1 day, which limited the artwork. And yes we can make a cake from what ever your minds can think up. Gabriel Vidauri www.cakesbythepound.com

Ahh, the fusion between tech and food.
Tiptup300 @ Feb 24th 2008 9:02PM
People probably think this that cake is real.
I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Feb 24th 2008 9:02PM
Fully functioning Palm Treo Cake.

Simulated simulated wood grain FTW

Now we can eat our consoles while we sit on the couch all day. And people wonder why Americans are obese.
PS- i know its not a real cake

CUBSWILLWIN @ Feb 24th 2008 7:24PM
very detailed. If only I could play and eat it at the same time.
tha-don @ Feb 25th 2008 12:44AM
you can't play your cake and eat it too.
Totalfixation @ Feb 24th 2008 7:27PM
when the engadget cake off contest happen, does this still have a chance at winning?
jon @ Feb 24th 2008 7:31PM
ahhhhh.those tasteful memories...
CUBSWILLWIN @ Feb 24th 2008 7:38PM
It's a year old. Looks like you're new here fella
Totalfixation @ Feb 24th 2008 7:51PM
A year old? Either engadget is rehashing there news or I haven't seen this here before.
Backlin @ Feb 24th 2008 8:14PM
The cake-off is a lie.
CUBSWILLWIN @ Feb 24th 2008 8:18PM
They are saying it for their NEXT b-day, meaning the link they provided was the previous one and this years is gonna happen in april.
Wolfticket @ Feb 24th 2008 11:10PM
@ "Backlin @ Feb 24th 2008 8:14PM"
Damn you man, 56 minutes. I had 52 in the "cake-lie reference" sweepstake.
tony @ Feb 24th 2008 7:54PM
mascarpone carts? that would get very messy, very quickly...
Reginald @ Feb 24th 2008 9:22PM
Yeah, I think he meant "Marzipan." Mascarpone is a cheese (like cream cheese).
:-P
Taylor @ Feb 25th 2008 2:04AM
Maybe by "mascarpone", he means the games themselves were cheesy.
A lot of them were.

Joel @ Feb 24th 2008 7:58PM
Do the ghosts regenerate after you eat them?
ClaMs @ Feb 24th 2008 8:38PM
Best comment possible for this tread!
ghyspran @ Feb 24th 2008 8:00PM
Why are there dots directly behind Pacman? Wouldn't he have eaten them already?
Jacqueline @ Feb 24th 2008 8:26PM
And where's the power up dot?
ClaMs @ Feb 24th 2008 8:39PM
Easy! He was on the way to eat those dots but has just turned back because he saw the ghosts. I know I would.
StalkerZERO @ Feb 24th 2008 9:21PM
LOL! You beat me to it! The cake is a lie!! :D
collide007 @ Feb 24th 2008 8:16PM
you want marzipan cartridges, cheese and cake? im one for experimenting with food, but i doubt that wud be very nice.
robert @ Feb 24th 2008 10:18PM
...Never heard of cheesecake?
collide007 @ Feb 25th 2008 3:28AM
Yes but cheesecake isn't actually cake its just biscuit and 'cheese' (because it doesn't actually taste that much like cheese) flavoured desert.
YoMomma @ Feb 24th 2008 8:34PM
what the heck is that?
does it play doom?
CUBSWILLWIN @ Feb 24th 2008 8:45PM
Pac man FTW!!!!
Bryan @ Feb 24th 2008 8:51PM
I don't think cakes can play Doom... but it can be delicious.
Ellis D. @ Feb 24th 2008 9:22PM
I don't think it can play doom, but the cake can be doom to someone on a diet and eats it :p
JuggleNuts @ Feb 24th 2008 8:51PM
The day I really find something like this cool is the day I realize that my hope of marrying a beautiful, intelligent woman has finally died.
PDubNYC @ Feb 25th 2008 1:06PM
Could that be the same day that you chose the name JuggleNuts?
JuggleNuts @ Feb 25th 2008 4:49PM
Touche, sir, touche. lol!
But seriously, pacman cake? Have fun shaving your neckbeard and living in the basement.
Russell @ Feb 24th 2008 8:54PM
Was I beaten to the cake-is-a-lie punch? Because the cake is a lie. And so are the mascarpone cartridges.
amped @ Feb 24th 2008 9:34PM
woodgrain on the dash is fuqing gangstar
rutsy5 @ Feb 24th 2008 9:47PM
but will it blend?
Shadowfox952 @ Feb 24th 2008 9:47PM
It's so delicious and moist.... ♪♫♪
John B. @ Feb 24th 2008 9:58PM
This is a cake? Jesus, it looks like somebody took a picture of an Atari.
Chris @ Feb 24th 2008 10:00PM
I just thought of something awsome, a Gameboy cookie. Then you could take it with you.
Jay @ Feb 24th 2008 10:04PM
I would definitely have some

Jay @ Feb 24th 2008 10:06PM
Imagine if it was functional

CB @ Feb 24th 2008 11:11PM
That is full of win.
hemmy @ Feb 25th 2008 1:37AM
This. Is. CAKETOWN!
bdkennedy1 @ Feb 25th 2008 2:43AM
Don't we wish the Atari 2600 Pac-Man characters looked like that.
andrew @ Feb 25th 2008 3:52AM
those characters are inaccurate.
shouldnt the pills be on the other side of pacman, if he's already moved that way he should've eaten the pills already.
...duh
Covarr @ Feb 25th 2008 2:14PM
Atari 2600 was not 8 bit, it was 4 bit.
cakesbythepound @ Feb 26th 2008 12:29PM
Just a heads up on the picky picky folks, the cake was done 1 day, which limited the artwork. And yes we can make a cake from what ever your minds can think up.
