Video game-themed cakes are nothing new, but the attention to detail on this one is nothing short of grisly. I wouldn't mind celebrating my 25th with a cake like this.


While it looks barely edible from all the detail, I'm sure the Boomer wouldn't mind a piece of it. Om nom nom!
I've gotten in touch with the photographer, Ashelia, and she had this to share:
It was actually a delicious cake though and more something Zoey would eat than a Boomer. It was vanilla and chocolate cake with a nice icing to create the hand effect.
If you want a funny anecdote, the baker asked if my friends were 'stalking me' because she thought the L4D was a death threat to me ("LEFT. FOR. DEAD.") and was shocked when I was like "OH **** OH **** OH **** THIS IS AMAZING" and screamed like a little girl.
"So they aren't stalking you, this cake is a game?"
"YEAH, I WORK WITH THESE GUYS!!!!!!"

She's an amazing photographer!
If you enjoyed this, you'll probably like Left 4 Dead: Zombears!

This is one of my favorite L4D images--the opposable thumb is what makes us human. Infection is devolution baby. Still, an extra finger on a cake would mean more frosting . . . mmmmm. Damn loaded imagery.

Very astute! It took me awhile to figure out the significance of the missing thumb.

Daww thanks. Sol and I kind of geek out when we play--once we took our team on an art walk of the apartments analyzing the paintings. We probably both need a little more sunlight

Wow! Wait, is that a big deal? Kotaku just seems like fluff to me most of the time.

Yeah but a lot of people read it, which in turns gets more people noticing the site
