Playable Angry Birds cake

video Playable Angry Birds cake

It’s become a family tradition that I make increasingly ridiculous birthday cakes for my kids each year. So with my little boy Ben turning 6-years-old over the weekend, and appreciating his love of Angry Birds, I thought I’d have a shot a making him a playable Angry Birds birthday cake with working catapult and iced birds as ammunition. You can watch the making of video as well as the rapid demolition. It took 10 hours to make and 2 minutes to destroy.

Brilliant, deffo the best cake I've ever seen.

That's totally awesome! I wish my dad did that, but we just buy small tiny cakes at Genuardi's food. Someone should make a cut the rope cake (if thats possible), have a small string, hanging a round cake ball and cut the rope with different obstacles, into the mouth of the green monster.
Well done

Just a small question... what did you make your slingshot out of?

You have inspired me to make my own game themed cake. It's going to be a Jenga cake because it will most likely fall apart as I try to build it, and then I'll give up and kick it across the room, then have to spend a bunch of time picking up pieces.

if you have a dog this will not be an issue, (picking up the pieces).

nice cake, my kid want one now, chuckle.

Feb 21, 2011. 8:46 PMFruitbytheFace says:

Hmmm...... Maybe use Coffee Crisps and/or Kitkats as blocks and actually play Jenga with the cake.

Feb 22, 2011. 5:31 PMxhephaestusx says:

less cake, then, than candy tower of awesomeness - definitely still worth a try!

Feb 24, 2011. 12:21 PMbschran says:

If you use nutty buddy bars (the peanut butter crisp bars) it would work great... dunno how big it would end up being though
