I painted Pip Boy's face on with a toothpick and Nutella. How tragic.
Those who know me may or may not know that I bake a lot. Well, I used to bake a lot. I haven’t made anything worthy of writing home about since last Christmas when I baked Lumines cupcakes (picture above) for a “games industry” drinking event. They were the most time-consuming cupcakes I’d ever made, and it was the first time I’d had fun with fondant as well. [I've been meaning to put that recipe up, but I only documented half of it. I stopped taking photos as soon as I started using food colouring.] At the event, I overheard someone say that the cakes were “too dry”, that hurt my feelings; I cried for days and vowed to never bake again, so I stopped baking for a while.
Anyway, I’m undertaking another baking adventure over the next few days. The journalism society at my university is holding a tea party fundraiser so that we can fund our own drunken shenanigans various journalistic events that all students on campus can enjoy. Not that I particularly care about other students — I just don’t like seeing a society that I’m an executive member of being in the red. I’ve volunteered to make cupcakes, brownies, and shortbread, but I’m not sure what gaming theme I should use. So I’m taking requests!
What kind of videogame cupcake/shortbread/chocolate brownie thing would you like to see me make? I’m ready to take suggestions on board. Keep in mind that if you suggest something to the effect of “bake the final cut-scene in Metal Gear Solid 4!” I will not even bother because, well, I’m a journalist, not a cakist*.
So yeah… GO GO GO!
- Does this word even exist? I’ve been told by someone, I don’t remember who, that it is a real word, but I’m skeptical.
