Laptop cakes pay homage to internet dating

Shockingly enough, the image you see above isn't as radical as you probably think. Just last year we saw a San Francisco couple profess their inexplicable love for TiVo with a his and her cake arrangement, while another treated guests to a flavorful version of their wedding day playlist. This perky pair, however, decided to create cakes that would visually describe just how they ended up together, complete with on-screen profiles and a crossover cable (or something) with a heart along the way. Gives a whole new meaning to the networking category, now doesn't it?

JDate.

Wahoo!

[Flashpoint @ Jun 23rd 2008 8:58AM]

It said in your profile you were "volutuous", "smart", "sexy" and you resembled Hallle Berry...


...so why is it you are 5'9, 425 pounds, have a degree from Devry and are missing 2 toes?

[bohsocks @ Jun 23rd 2008 8:59AM]

Hopefully there's an equally delicious cake for their inevitable divorce.

[Juice @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:46AM]

Devry!

[Tim @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:11PM]

How is this gadget news?

[Wicker24 @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:33AM]

Again this is not a news site, It is a blog site.

If you want news go to MSNBC.com.

Thank you for your patronage.

[Yosekki @ Jun 23rd 2008 7:47PM]

Oh really? so the 'tip us on news' link and the 'Breaking news' section you see in your right upper corner over there indicate that this is a site for the presentation and discussion of news? It may be a blog site in the way that it is set up, but the purposes of the blogs are to discuss... news. You may also find that the way they seem to refer to the site as 'engadget' would indicate that they would be referring to gadget news perhaps?

Dont get me wrong I love reading the 'news' on this site, but you have to admit that an article about cakes is about as useful and interesting as another one about iphones.

We had a Macintosh groom's cake at my wedding in 1997, because I met my wife while fixing her Mac back then. Good thing Macs aren't perfect!

[Maestro @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:44PM]

I had a cake made of Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Been all downhill since.

Get cancer and die.

[John @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:58AM]

Well, I'm one for two, I guess.

[natels @ Jun 23rd 2008 9:18AM]

Jeeze.. Did they both use laptops from the early 90's? Those things are bricks..

[John @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:59AM]

I believe that's the part you eat.

[Bernhard @ Jun 23rd 2008 9:24AM]

So I presume they were both dating while sitting at a starbucks?

[kagai @ Jun 23rd 2008 9:25AM]

It's all a lie.

[AJ in the East Bay @ Jun 23rd 2008 9:25AM]

The cakes are a lie!!

[KaZ @ Jun 23rd 2008 9:26AM]

[armus360 @ Jun 23rd 2008 10:42AM]

But can they run Crysis?

[PaulPaul @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:21AM]

not with the refresh rate of 5 bakes/hour they can't

[happy_penguin @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:35AM]

Looks like a firewire connection. She's running him in target disk mode. Perfect married life analogy.

[Dr Zoidberg @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:12PM]

Uh-oh, is this what happens when the macbook air quits the atkins diet?

[Jerry Whiting @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:42PM]

Let this be a warning to all you kids out there dating on the interweb. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!

Don't make me add this to my website. Cuz I will you know...

I hope that ethernet cable is a cross-connect cable, otherwise they will never be able to communicate!

[ShadowKain @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:00PM]

Edible laptops mmmm.....

[Lemmiwinks (SSBBFC: 0903-2436-0891) @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:25PM]

For some reason, I really really want to type on the qwerty frosting.

[Mindfield @ Jun 23rd 2008 3:44PM]

This could only be geekier if went meta and cut it with a Macbook Air.

[grjohnston @ Jun 23rd 2008 8:05PM]

How do you make a sheet of cake as narrow as those screens, stand up like that?
