Rubik's Cube Cake

The first time we witnessed a Rubik's Cube Cake it featured three square facelets tilted on their axes, providing a complicated "Rubik's Cube in mid-solution mode" feeling. Today I offer you a less intricate, but larger and more colorful Rubik's Cube cake created as a birthday treat for a self described geek by his mother. I adore the textured icing and rich color choice and love the fact that instead of doing a freestyle icing job she used a real cube as a model. It's geekalicous!

Knowing that there are people out there that love Super Marios Bros., Nintendo and Star Wars enough to make geeky bride and groom cakes should have been all the warning I needed to ease me into this Rubik's Cube Cake, but somehow it just wasn't. The maker was a British fellow, James Kemp, who has always been a fan of the Rubik's cube. "I first got a cube as a 12 year old in England back in 1980 and have been hooked ever since," Kemp says. His local pub held a competition for the gentlemen who were regulars to bake a cake (seriously, how come my local pub hasn't thought of that?). Mr. Rubik's cube won of course - beating out 11 other cakes.

Somehow, this one beats out the his and her TiVo cakes on the geek chic scale. You can follow the recipe and make it yourself, but if you do, you better send me a photo!
