Old School Sweets: Retro Video Game Cakes!
Today we're going OLD SCHOOL.
(Pink Cake Box, New Jersey)
Though sometimes with a new twist:
(The Royal Bakery, California)
In my day Pac-Man was never this cute. And had zero limbs.
(Sweet Obsessions Cake Company, UK)
Plus Donkey Kong's been working out! Love this 3D effect with him smashing out of the barrel.
Anyone else remember playing games with a joystick? And the sound Q-bert made when you jumped on the snake?
(Les Gateaux de Gilles, Quebec)
Yep, yep, yep. FEELIN' OLD.
Here's one I actually miss playing: TETRIS!
(405 Cakes, Oklahoma)
These colors are so fun, and I love the pixelated name.

Oohh, now here's the game system *I* grew up with:
(Elevate Cake Designer Desserts, Colorado)
WOW that's good. How fun is the Mario font for Franky's name?! And how long did it take you to notice the 30 in the controller wire? (Don't feel bad, it took me a while, too.)
We can't have an NES without including the prince of plumbing himself:
(My Little Bakery, Peru)
Those gold rings! AMAZING.
Not actually a cake, but I have to include these Pac-Man cake pops because I love them:
(Let Them Eat Cake Pops, no web link)
EEEEEEEE so fun! This is the best wedding cake alternative I've seen in ages.
Let's end with a couple more wedding cakes. First, Link & Zelda:
(Aux Trois Petits Cochons, Quebec)
The joystick and buttons on the cake board are my favorite part - right after "Forever Your Player 2," because d'awwwwwwww.
Hope these made you smile, gang, and that you get to play a game today. That's right, GO PLAY.
