StarCraft Cakes

[Monkofdoom]

I love food and I love StarCraft which led me to a great idea, why not get some snacks and watch today's GSL matches. A few hours later I decided it was time to delve into the world of StarCraft baking, so here is this weeks addition to the community spotlight.

Team Liquid's Beta Competition

Back in June 2009 Team Liquid had a cake competition, the winners of which received beta keys to StarCraft 2, in the end over 60 cakes were baked and the results were great. The winner of course was Vincze01 with the famous Zerg Base.

Closely followed by Vedic & Venes's Marine and DoomFish(& Girlfriend)'s Kerrigan, Queen of Cakes.

Of course there were many other entries of varying standards which resulted in a video being produced by cevapchicken showing all of the entries. If you're into cakes and have a few minutes to spare then it's worth watching, It's amazing to see the variety of cakes that were produced.

The Lucky Groom

But don't think this competition was the start of StarCraft baking as it's been a past time for many people for a long time. Take The Cake Chic's StarCraft delight made back in January 2004 for one lucky groom!

Zerg - Most Baked Race

Whilst researching for this article one thing became clear, there are far more Zerg cakes than Terran or Protoss - Thank god they are popular somewhere. Maybe this is because of all that extra brown creep and general slime that equates to thousands of calories in the form of sugar, chocolate and other wonderful ingredients.

Best Modern StarCraft Cake

As usual though, this Terran Command Center is totally overpowered and is our modern StarCraft cake of choice, a true work of art from Stephanie at Cake Fixation. Not to say that this Nexus from xeophin isn't worthy of a place in the spotlight too.

A Handheld

It is great to see how many cakes are floating around and how many people have been lucky enough to receive a special StarCraft gift for a birthday, wedding or other special occasion. Perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to receive a StarCraft cake as well, even if it is just a handheld like jkenning's cupcake.
