    I was introduced to this recently. This. This!

    Yes, this is a cake made to look like Danny DeVito. Apparently it was a birthday cake that was asked for as a joke and then actually materialised.

    Do you have any idea what is needed to create this monstrosity? Yes, yes, there was an incredible amount of icing and cake batter but just think about this: it's an incredibly good likeness. It's like those people that knit gigantic toys or carve swear words into trees. It's somewhat impressive in just how much extra effort a person must go to in order to achieve a likeness this good.

    It takes an incredible amount of patience, practice, skill and steady hands. It takes artistic knowledge and baking knowhow in order to utilise that glistening red icing to make details in his face. It takes nerves of steel to make the teeth look that good.

    And yet it takes an incredible amount of contempt to do it in the first place. 'You ask for a Danny DeVito cake? You're getting one, you little toad!' It's like carefully crafting a bullet from a stone by bashing it on the ground till it fits down the barrel. Heck! It's not even a flattering likeness of the man! Not only is he wearing glasses but the camera flash in the icing make him look glossier than the cake likely actually is. It makes him resemble a vampire being interrupted mid-meal and attempting to pull an innocent grin.

    Although, the grin makes the man appear to be being squeezed through a tight tube. Some git is pushing him out like toothpaste and he's either attempting to put on a brave face or hold in gas.

    "Heeeyyy! I'm OK, folks! Still, it's no piece of cake being this tasty! Hyuck-hyuck!"

    I just...I'm just at this moment of fascination where I know that no joke I can make is likely to top someone making a Danny DeVito cake. Look at it! It's both glorious and bafflingly horrible. It's amazing!

    All right, let's get on with this...I'm off the cake now.

    Oh! Guess what? That doodah up there isn't going anywhere! The radio widget up the top there is your gateway to lovely brony music. Heck, we'll even let you know who's DJing with a nice little icon. Even adorable little Autobrony. Give it a click! Heck! It even glints tantalisingly like it's beckoning you forth!

    First, we need a little help here. There's a brony in Canada that's searching for others to hang out with! If you can help, go there and help a canuke out!

    Or is that canook? Canuck? Ah, whatever...

    Now, how about some homemade merchandise or artsy stuff that's not from Rockout? Leia105 has cannibalized some MLP comics in order to make these actually pretty cool looking pair of high heels. Something rather unusual but still pretty good looking as well. The pattern is striking and...I can imagine they cost a bomb. But! If you'd like a classy way of showing your pony pride, I doubt you could do any worse!

    Which reminds me: please contact a member of staff before you try and sell anything through the site. It means we know what's happening and might even be able to spread the word a little further. Please don't just set up shop, we will remove the link to your shop or remove the post. It's courteous!

    Anyhoo, does anypony sing? Apparently, we have a relatively new member trying to make their own acapella band. If you wanted to be like the Pony Tones, this might be your chance.

    When I wasn't looking at baffling baked goods that make me just seem to question everything, I was reviewing things like usual! This week, I've got Robocraft, the build-em-up then shoot-em-down freebie game and the Demo for Super Smash Bros. on the 3DS. So, plenty to be getting on with there then!

    Lastly, here: Have some laser swords waving around and around. It's pretty and exciting. Like a battle breaking out in a rave and all they have are glowsticks.

    And with that, I bring this weeks post to a close. Now...how to end it...

    Yeah...Yeah, OK that'll do.

    Best part, because that cake was just creepy. I do wonder what color the cake was underneath the icing though, would've been funny it were red.
