atari 2600 joystick cake for tasty retro gaming

I was buzzing about over on Flickr earlier today when I came across this excellent Atari 2600 inspired pastry.

While I normally wouldn’t eat a cake with black icing on it, this one looks too good to pass up. Flickr contributor Fredrick Johnson says the fabulous retro Atari joystick cake was made by his pastry chef friend, Lisa. After you chow down on this sugary delight, you might need to play a round or two of VCS (not so) classic Tooth Protectors to prevent cavities.

Lisa, wherever you are, won’t you please bake a matching 2600 console cake and a couple of paddle cupcakes?
