Oh to be 5 years old and have your aunt make you a Transformers birthday cake! And an awesomely rendered one at that!

This is coming to you from the same lovely lass who takes time out to knit Transformers-themed washcloths for her children. In this case her aunt was roped in to spending what I would guesstimate is the better part of a weekend making this elaborate silvery Autobot logo cake.

All I can say is, this family has got time, talent, and patience to spare. I bet all the other parents in the neighborhood see this stuff and think, “Oh great, now little Timmy is going to think I ruined his birthday by stacking HoHos into a cake shape and sticking candles in it.”

I predict that this kid is going to turn out to be either a) a totally spoiled brat, b) the most awesome and powerful reincarnation of Optimus Prime, or c) a weirdo with a basement full of mint-condition Transformers. Oh wait. I have a basement full of mint-condition Transformers. Huh. How ’bout that.
