Ahh, the fusion between tech and food.
People probably think this that cake is real.
Fully functioning Palm Treo Cake.
The guy even made calls with it.

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
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.
very detailed. If only I could play and eat it at the same time.
you can't play your cake and eat it too.
when the engadget cake off contest happen, does this still have a chance at winning?
ahhhhh.those tasteful memories...
It's a year old. Looks like you're new here fella
A year old? Either engadget is rehashing there news or I haven't seen this here before.
The cake-off is a lie.
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.

Damn you man, 56 minutes. I had 52 in the "cake-lie reference" sweepstake.
mascarpone carts? that would get very messy, very quickly...
Yeah, I think he meant "Marzipan." Mascarpone is a cheese (like cream cheese).
:-P
Maybe by "mascarpone", he means the games themselves were cheesy.
A lot of them were.

Do the ghosts regenerate after you eat them?
Best comment possible for this tread!
Why are there dots directly behind Pacman? Wouldn't he have eaten them already?
And where's the power up dot?
Easy! He was on the way to eat those dots but has just turned back because he saw the ghosts. I know I would.
you want marzipan cartridges, cheese and cake? im one for experimenting with food, but i doubt that wud be very nice.
...Never heard of cheesecake?
Yes but cheesecake isn't actually cake its just biscuit and 'cheese' (because it doesn't actually taste that much like cheese) flavoured desert.
LOL! You beat me to it! The cake is a lie!! :D
what the heck is that?
does it play doom?
Pac man FTW!!!!
I don't think cakes can play Doom... but it can be delicious.
I don't think it can play doom, but the cake can be doom to someone on a diet and eats it :p
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.
Could that be the same day that you chose the name JuggleNuts?
Touche, sir, touche. lol!
But seriously, pacman cake? Have fun shaving your neckbeard and living in the basement.
Was I beaten to the cake-is-a-lie punch? Because the cake is a lie. And so are the mascarpone cartridges.
woodgrain on the dash is fuqing gangstar
but will it blend?
It's so delicious and moist.... ♪♫♪
This is a cake? Jesus, it looks like somebody took a picture of an Atari.
I just thought of something awsome, a Gameboy cookie. Then you could take it with you.
I would definitely have some

Imagine if it was functional

That is full of win.
This. Is. CAKETOWN!
Don't we wish the Atari 2600 Pac-Man characters looked like that.
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
Atari 2600 was not 8 bit, it was 4 bit.
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.
