The first cake was baked by Sarenea for someone’s piano recital. Her post says that the special guy is called Corvat (now that’s a nice name!) and I bet he got a thrill out of his surprise. The cake is a three-layer cake with white and green on the other sides. Now this Rubik’s cube is all solved, so it’s easy to dig in without worrying about how to solve the puzzle.

The second cake was made by Tanya for an 80’s themed party. It’s a chocolate cake and this is how she describes it, courtesy of Walyou:

The chocolate cake was cut from a 250 x 350 cm slab tin, each square is 6″ and 2″ high, the top two tiers are on a small cake board for support. Covered in chocolate buttercream and black fondant, the colored squares were cut using a ribbon cutter then adhered to the cake with a little water. I used a metal ruler to mark an indented line between each row. I would recommend using a real Rubik cube to get the colored squares in the right place, this cake is impossible to solve!

So which one do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Tanya’s, if only because the cube is unsolved.

But what exactly is Gamer Grub? According to the makers, it is the first ever “performance snack formulated especially for gamers.”

Here’s the low down:

• Great tasting flavors
• Handheld packaging
• No keyboard crumbs
• No greasy fingers

Gamer Grub is a great tasting snack mix packed with select vitamins and neurotransmitters supporting fast cognitive performance.

Vitamins, neurotransmitters, and fast cognitive performance? Really now! Do they really think that gamers look for those things in particular when thinking about something munch on while gaming? Now the handheld packaging, I can understand. After all, we need something that is handy. Then again, I can think of countless other snacks that make my mouth water AND that are in handy packaging.

Perhaps the best thing going for Gamer Grub – at least for me – are the last two points: no keyboard crumbs and greasy fingers. But then again, if you are not really particular about crumbs and grease, it does not really matter.

I don’t know, for some reason, I just can’t get into the idea of Gamer Grub. What about you?
