Hey, A New Katamari Cake
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 8:30 PM on January 22, 2008
Ah, game cakes. So 2007. 2006, even. I thought they were behind us. But sometimes, like an ex-girlfriend with a great pair or a party drug at an affordable price, you have to go back. How could we resist a Katamari cake with such exquisite detail? We couldn't. I mean, it's rolled up a keyboard and an octopus.

@Sabre_Justice:
No it's not here in the UK yet, but that comment leads me to believe it's full of cakes and exploding Kotaku guys. Thanks for the Spoiler! >:

I'm kinda sick of Game cakes. How many more cakes will I be forced to endure before Kotaku is so full it explodes it's cakey guts everywhere?

That fridge better watch out, because it's getting rolled up next.

LOL, awesome! Until you realize you're chewing on something non-edible

Looks like something I made when trying to make a cake.
The top half anyway.

Also a rare gray species of the Kotaku Pointing Fish!

Looks too good to eat, but I still would.

@Gentleben-Nintendo Club Star Whore: If it was, it'd be all over the internet by now.
What's with us Aussies getting movies early? First Transformers, now Cloverfield. Not that I'm complaining, but weird... and I'd happily trade it for getting Nintendo games earlier at decent prices.

I LOVE that. But I think I might try to top that by making an Animal Crossing cake? Maybe?

Cloverfield here this week though, just 1 week later isn't that bad.
cake looks awesome though, is it marzipan?

@Porcelina: Go for it!
Besides the Kotaku pointing fish and the octopus, I see a fish, cow, chicken, rose, calla lily, crayons, a bunch of grapes, a daisy, a treble clef, what might be sushi, the keyboard and assorted body parts. What a lot of work! Porcelina's got his/her work cut out for him/her.

A part of me wants to agree with Gentleben; game cakes are beginning to seem old-hat. However, there's a certain charm to all things Katamari. I can't help but approve.

One of the more impressive cakes I've seen in awhile.

@JAKEDUNN: More likely that it's fondant, which is edible, frequently used to make fancy cakes, but not as delicious as marzipan (imo).

About the only thing that could have been cooler is if they somehow made it look like the actual cake itself had been rolled up in the Katamari.
