Forget Quake, It’s Cake Team Arena Time

In celebration of this weekend’s QuakeCon and the 20th anniversary of id Software, id and Bethesda sent me the most hideous cake I’ve ever had sitting on my coffee table, and I shop at the Publix bakery.

The Strogg make great arena fighters, but their freakish alien visage doesn’t exactly scream “eat me!” That’s the players’ job. Still this is one fine example of gaming confectionery, direct from pastry chef Mark Brickman of Baker’s Man, the same guy responsible for sending me my very first game-related cake last year.

If only the children were old enough to eat cake and be terrified.
