Who wants cake? Okay, now who wants PORTAL cake?
Desperately searching for exactly how this genius baking entrepreneur designed such a delicious-looking pastry, I was somewhat taken aback to find that that A)Portal themed cakes are really nothing new; there’s a crapload of all over the Internet — and also that B) somebody took the Portal cake scenario to a new level with this — a cake actually being Portal-ed, complete with aperture Portal gun and everything.
Apparently it was the same giant-ass hunk of cake, just re-arranged/shot from a different angle and given a different light-up plate. OK, you might be curious as to how they did. I don’t know how the hell they made the custom lit flaming portal plates, but to give you an idea, the ‘difficulty’ rating on gourmetgaming.com ranks the plain ol’ chocolate Portal cake a paltry 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
When you factor in the Photoshop work and the plates and that Portal gun(built/stolen), it looks like it could be 5-star worthy. If anyone figures out what’s up with the plates, please tell us. I’d gladly devote the 5 minutes I spend making mac n cheese to making this, but only if I could re-create the photograph. Head here for a list of ingredients.

That didn’t stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
