We have seen our fair share of cupcakes designed like geeky games, but this lot takes the biscuit. Crumbs, they really are uber-geeky. This is a collection of baking-related goodies dedicated to sites such as Firefox, Twitter and the like. There is no way to put this kindly--some are clearly a lot better than others.
They are cool in a strange kind of way, but it also concerns me that people continue to project such hopes and aspirations onto things that are basically just applications.
Yes, I know that ‘Space Invaders’ is not technically an “application,” but they are super cool anyway.
