Some very attractive friends! This is not the first time flickr user and Montreal-based baker clevercupakes has tackled the Mario theme; in fact, you may have seen this earlier effort floating around. I think you’ll also agree that this new batch is at least 50% more delectable. The first batch was good, but these cupcakes are dropping jaws all over the place. Great detail on that goomba!

They almost look too good to eat. Almost.

I’ll freely admit I’ve never even heard Portal until about 15 minutes ago when I saw a picture of this cookie, but I did some reconnaissance and learned that in the game you get a weighted companion cube as some kind of reward. The creator of this masterpiece Jennyvier helpfully shared a picture of a real weighted companion cube alongside her copy to show her pastry prowess. (Quick question: how does she have a “real” one of these if it’s from within a video game? But I digress.)

There’s something about the art genre of representational dough and frosting video games that really drives me wild. But here’s the kicker. This cookie is made from the dough left over from making Battlestar Galactica Cylon cookies. And I thought I was a geeky girl! Clearly I’ve got a long ways to go.
