<p>After 30 years of eating every pac-dot and blue-turned ghost in sight, I think it&#8217;s time Pac-Man deserved an icing-filled taste of his own medicine.</p>
<p>I made these gems for a class project, but based on the warm reception I received, exclamations like &#8220;adorable!&#8221; and &#8220;delicious!&#8221; to name a few, I decided they were worth sharing. Visually, at least.</p>
<p>I assure you, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde never tasted this good.</p>

<p>Jewelry-maker and graphic designer Robin Dahlberg of <a href="http://www.steelheadstudio.com/" target="_blank">Steelhead Studio</a> apparently holds a &#8220;big game party&#8221; to ring in any given new year, and this year&#8217;s game was a 100 question quiz. A quiz, not written on paper, but drawn on cupcakes with fondant. Oh, and the questions were all identifying a variety of games. Luckily, photos were taken of every cupcake, and the quiz is now available online! It&#8217;s not strictly video-game related &#8211; about half of the games are the old-fangled made-out-of-paper-or-cardboard-or-wood sort, with the remainder being the sit-back-and-drool-with-a-controller-in-your-hand variety that we all know so well. Seen above are my favorite three entries, looking as delicious as they are nostalgic. Hit up the link below if you&#8217;re not afraid of a little Comic Sans, and you have a few minutes to kill and a handful of cupcakes on hand &#8211; trust me on this one, the game will make you hungry!</p>

<p><!--digg-->You get some pretty interesting celebrations for a child when the parents are gamers. Game cakes, <a href="http://www.thetanooki.com/2008/01/26/been-waiting-for-a-good-mario-party-here-it-is/">Mario parties</a>, you name it. Lori from Clever Cake Studio was given the job of creating cupcakes for a pair of game loving parents for their baby shower, creating the Pikmin cupcakes you see above.</p>
<p>Originally, the marzipan Pikmin were supposed to be smaller and buried in the cupcakes (like in the games), but Lori went with the designs that didn&#8217;t involve sticking wires inside the tasty Pikmin. I&#8217;m pretty sure no one minded the change, just so long as they got to play Bulborbs and devour all those delicious Pikmin one by one.</p>
