Not to be outdone by the edible Atari 2600 joystick, the pastry artisans from Los Angeles’ Cakes by the Pound went all out when they created this delectable Atari-inspired masterpiece.
An awesome work of baked goodness, everything you see in the picture is edible other than the board that the cake sits on. I can’t get over the details on this cake. From the perfectly black and red joysticks, to the woodgrain icing on the console and the tiny Atari logo, it’s just mind-boggling.
From the looks of it, pastry chef Mendy Pound can bake cakes in just about any design you can imagine, so if you want a tasty PS3, Wii, N64, Sega Genesis, or even a Fairchild Channel F, I’m pretty sure her bakery can handle your request.
I’m guessing that the only game this 2600 could actually play would be Cakewalk.

ケーキで作ったatari 2600…
最近増えてきているケーキで作っちゃったシリーズですが、今回は往年の大ヒットゲーム機『atari 2600』をペーストリー作りの職人Mendy Poundという人が作ったそうです。台座にパックマン….

Wow. That cake is so impressive! I can’t imagine cutting into it and actually eating it. It would almost seem like a crime.
