Wedding Treats for Geeks

Pacman Cupcakes Will Unite You in Nerdalicious Matrimony

— March 16, 2009 — Lifestyle
This cluster of Pacman cupcakes actually works brilliantly as a wedding cake for a couple proud of their geekiness.

The Pacman wedding cake from Hello Naomi's. She is already famous online for her original Pacman cupcakes, but these are like a beta version of those. What a great wedding present and what a great idea. No slicing required.

The beauty is in the detail - make sure you check out the fruit.

Implications - I'm also extremely impressed with the cupcake's use of light blue fondant to emulate that iconic glow that emanated from Pacman cabinets found in arcades all across America. Long live the Pacman craze!
