Check Out My Xeno Cake!!!

@dk

Thanks! He didn't give any indication of it, but I do sort of hope the baker is a fan...otherwise I may have coerced an imaginative artist who's accustomed to sculpting flower bouquets and peaceful sleeping fawns into studying and recreating something just a tinsy bit disturbing.

He didn't have any like material on his website, but I chose him because he had a lot of really realistic looking sculpture cakes. Maybe my request inspired him to watch the movie and he became a fan?? I can dream, right?

@IRaptus

Thanks!! (I didn't make the cake though, I just commissioned it from a local bakery. So, good job to the baker! :) Actually, when my husband and I went to the bakery to pick it up, I started jumping up and down and shouted "Oh my God! It looks just like the PERFECT ORGANISM!")

@Something Real

Yes! Inside the cake was chocolate, and had several layers with white vegan "butter-cream" icing in between them. 

The cake itself tasted good, and the icing inside the cake tasted very good. However, the layer of fondant around the outside of the cake and the xeno itself tasted a little bland.

I cut off a few slices of the xeno's head saying "I'm going to eat him and gain his strength!" But when I ate them, they were not very sweet and were a little tough. So, I left the rest of the mutilated xeno on a plate in the fridge, to startle people every time the fridge door was opened, until I threw it out :)

wow the cake is a stone groove smash hit wonder 

Happy for you VivisectedEngineer. Your family and friends are awesome. 

VIVISECTEDENGINEER - Excellent! Thank you ever so much for taking the time to indulge my curiosity! Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

@Jonesy

Thanks!!!

@Something Real

You're welcome! As a curious person myself, I'm happy to indulge! :D And THANK YOU!!!

Happy Birthday!

That cake is Amazing! Not sure if I should be hungry or not! lol!

Pure artistry right there! A lone xeno somewhere out there in the galaxy who has always wanted to be a cake topper is beaming with joy right now!

@MonsterZero

Thank you!!! Lol, I guess it is both enticing and disgusting at the same time.

@HappyXeno

Thank you! ^_^ The baker did an amazing job! Sadly, he didn't post a picture of this particular artistic accomplishment on his site with the rest. I guess he didn't want to scare away potential clients, lol.

ViviEn - Such a beautiful and shocking tart! It looks like an albino critter! :) While visiting the fridge, don't forget that you can own the movie on Digital HD from August / on Blu-ray and DVD from August 15.

Enjoy the tart, enjoy the Covenant! :)

Happy birthday VivisectedEngineer! Glad you had a wonderful birthday and that birthday cake is to die for! I'm practically arching my back in agony! 

Btw, how'd you enjoy the Art and Making of Covenant? Did you see Bishop and Brett ;) There's a lot of interesting tid bits you can't find elsewhere.

@Ati

"It looks like an albino critter!"

Aww, don't make him feel self conscious! He's the perfect organism! Lol.

Haha, trust me, Ati, there is no way I'm going to forget that date. I have that day off work, as it's my most important religious holiday.

I feel like I should probably take that as some sort red-flag, but this fandom just keeps me marching towards distraction and temptation like an unwary crew towards a deceptively Earth-like planet.

If I fall to temptation and God asks me why I spent the day at home watching Covenant rather than at the temple praying, I'm going to blame you, Ati :P

Blame me, I want it! Punish me... with that vegan cake! :D

@Lawrence of Arabia

Thanks! Omg, I know! I literally told the baker "I love it so much I'm gonna die." lol.

I am really enjoying the Art and Making book! It's interesting to read each of the actors' perspectives on their characters, and to see the CGI concepts of the scenes before they were shot. (Also, I knew Fassbender had used Spock as a reference for Walter. There were times I was thinking he sounded just like Spock, down to his accent).

I didn't see the bit about Bishop and Brett! What page?? I'm a big fan of Bishop.

Truly Awesome ;)

Glad you had a Fantastic Birthday...

Happy Belated Birthday ;)

@BigDave

Thank you!!! :D

@BigDave

Thank you!!! :D

That looks awesome and Happy Birthday VE, it also reminds me of the polymorph in Red Dwarf, i have been watching the series recently, i still get a laugh from it! lol!

@airshaft_surprise

Thank you!!! :D

I'm not familiar with Red Dwarf, I'll have to check it out!

@VivisectedEngineer, sci-fi comedy made by the BBC thats still going, stars Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Hattie Hayridge.

@airshaft_surprise

Sounds fun! I will look for it!

Are there pics of the debauchery of the work of art?
