I was really hoping for a cross section of a FET.

Life lesson: Never call your girlfriend 'geekycakes', no matter how much of a cute nerd she is.

Deathstar cake - totally doable.

Moonshine, that's awesome and it looks like it probably tastes good too.

Very nice, but I really think this cadaver cake is a work of art.

The Pac-man cupcakes are really cute...

Ugly sheet cakes. Some of them are geeky.

I was really expecting a cellular peptide cake. With mint frosting.

I prefer a roll cake.

I love the Bento link (already a fan of edman's site, though my kids don't want bento), and if you didn't check out the second page in the Geeky Cakes link, you should--the video has lots more, including a periodic table of the elements that looks incredibly complex and, as far as I can tell, authentic.

I would like to eat the Death Star.

That way, I could combine my affection for delicious cake with my appreciation of all things Star Wars, as well as living out my lifelong fantasy of being Unicron to boot!

My boyfriend made me a dogbert cake once. It was pretty geeky. Tasty too (white chocolate and coffee cinnamon sponge).

Years ago, my church had a cake-baking contest for men, and I made a Schfifty Five cake. i hope I can find a picture of it.

My wife-to-be made me a BeOS desktop cake for my birthday, back in the late 90s.

Am I lucky, or what?

Incidentally, the red robot cake he made me this year was pretty geeky too.

Not as geeky, but I ran a contest for Threadless-themed cakes: Threadcakes!

Some of which were wildly impressive, actually. Mmmm, cake.

I think these Settlers of Catan cupcakes definitely qualify for the list.

Drawing Hands (with food coloring). Yeah I was too lazy to turn the pens into forks.

Before they let me out of prison, I always wanted a cake with a Leatherman hidden inside.

I love geek references that you can eat. Yum!
