Nerd Cake
Last week, there were three birthdays at the Spousal Unit’s office. One of his coworkers really enjoys making pretty cakes, and came up with these fun creations.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock
This was a lemon cake. The diagram is a reference to Big Bang Theory. Rock, paper, scissors was just too predictable for them, so one character added lizard and Spock. The cake serves as a ready reference for the rules of the game. Alas, they all loved the Spock option so much, everyone kept throwing Spock.
Gandalf Cupcakes
Upon presenting these, the Spousal Unit told me this was Gandalf the Brown. My immediate reaction was, “No, that’s Radagast.”
Of course, after I said that, he could not resist renewing his undying affection for me. Talk nerdy to me, baby.
When I cook, it’s usually yummy but ugly, so I’m in awe of the skill it took to create these. The little wizards were especially beautiful in person. They looked like they were aged copper dolls with that greenish rim. I didn’t even realize they were edible at first because they were so pretty. Thanks to Chris’ coworkers for such cool creations and pictures to share!
Those are so very, very cool!
Yeah, you stopped me cold with the Radagast reply. I had no defense against such a display.
