1. Dungeons and Dragons
Get your 20-sided dice ready because this massive cake
is a feat of artistic cake magic. It was made for a birthday boy that
plays in a group of D&D fanatics. The edible sculpture was created
by Mike’s Amazing Cakes. If you have time, be sure to check out their website as well, because their gallery is, indeed, awesome.

Speaking of geektastic cakes based on role playing games, this Horde World of Warcraft cake
may not look quite as professional as the D&D cake, but the details
on the shield, particularly the wood grain, are pretty impressive
nonetheless. From what I can gather, the creator, who made it for her
boyfriend’s birthday, only does this as a hobby, not a job. It sounds
like she might want to consider changing careers to do this for a
living.
3. Super Mario
Here’s another amazing video game cake, starring everyone’s favorite plumber, Mario. This link is definitely worth a look, as the creator, Su Yin,
actually details all the work that went into planning and creating the
cake, including a step-by-step photo gallery. The work involved in a
project like this is pretty incredible.

I don’t know what’s cooler, the fantastic zombie girl on this cake or
the eight-year-old little girl that requested it. While the cake is
pretty amazing, made by Barbarann Garrard
from rice cereal treats and fondant, how cool is it that a girl that
age would prefer a cake showing something crawling from the grave
instead of a pony or Barbie?

6. Indiana Jones
The only things missing from this great golden idol cake by Clever Cake Studio
are an Indiana Jones Ken doll and a giant marzipan boulder. Even so,
the fact that you can actually switch out the bag for the golden idol
allows you to play the role of Doctor Jones without having to worry
about death by rock.

8. R2-KT
Of course, you can’t talk about geeky anything without mentioning Star Wars. This amazingly realistic R2-KT cake by Mark Joseph Cakes features a ton of cake surrounded by fondant and its legs are made from rice cereal treats. This site details the creation process, which is pretty intense thanks to the detailed paint job and assembly process.
This Yoda cake
is so realistic that I would be afraid to cut it for fear of suddenly
being stunned by the force and beaten up by the little green man. The
cake was created by Debbie Goard of Debbie Does Cakes
for a seven-year-old’s birthday party. This has to be one of the most
delicious of all the cakes here, as his head is made from rice treats,
while the body features strawberry cake with Barvarian custard filling.

What’s nerdier than a regular Star Wars cake? One that also features
bathroom humor. While it makes sense that this was made for a
six-year-old, there’s no doubt that many internet geeks will get even
more pleasure out of the idea of a stormtrooper going to the bathroom
than the child the cake was meant to impress. If you’re interested in
getting your own Star Wars potty humor cake, better get on the phone
with Aurora Cakes, the company that made this masterpiece.
