Gears of War Birthday Cake

[Zenith Omishu]

Wow it's been a Year or so since I last posted on this Site and this perticular Thread. But I thought i'd share something truly amazing with you guys.

I had my Birthday 2 months ago and 2 friends of mine decided to make me a "Gears of War" Birthday Cake.

Jamie was the one who Sculpted and Painted the Lancer that was placed ontop of the Cake. But Dav was the one who Baked, Sculpted and Airbrushed the Cake itself. Let's just say it was a very Gearsy Birthday indeed. Here is a link to all 3 Images and to there Deviant Art Pages. And BTW the Cake was very tasty.

Zenith (Which is me) is not Crotale's alt account. And this Cake isn't Photoshoped. Only the background in the first image is Photoshoped.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments i'll make sure they are seen by the people who did this amazing Cake.

Is this for real? Damn that is nice!

Is the Lancer edible?

[Zenith Omishu]

I just had to update this Thread with a link to the real creators of this cake. Thanks again all and especially you Flak for showing so many people this wonderful cake by adding it to you're facebook and twitter pages. :> And no "Addnan" the Lancer wasn't edible. It did however come with a stand so once the cake was eaten it went on my mantel.

It's such a beautiful cake!!!

Amazing job, really

If you ARE stupid enough to eat it, () cut it with a real Lancer! Or a chainsaw.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

That is such an awesome cake.

If it was for a little kid they would just scream "GEARS CAKE" and then om nom nom nom it, unable to appreciate the beauty of splendor of this magnificent pastry.

...om nom nom

[Jer Bear]

Awesome cake.

Oh, that's messed up.

I asked Publix to make me a Gears' cake and they said it wouldn't be possible due to copyright issues. :Rage:

Thanks so much for the comments, everyone! It was an amazing adventure. Dave is the chef/baker and I'm the artist.

The Lancer was made of Super Sculpey with an armature wire skeleton. Took me approximately 12 hrs to complete (1.25 days all in one). I painted it with acrylics using my airbrush and regular brushes. I'm a painter so sculpture isn't my usual medium. I wanted to make it out of something that would last as a little souvenir so I also made him a little base and covered it in Micaceous Iron Oxide ( crushed dark gray Hematite stone acrylic paint ). It looks like a little rock with the Gears logo on it.

Dave constructed the cake as a normal circle with foamcore supports and a layer of fondant covering the cake. The surface was beaten for the 'battle-scarred" look and then painted entirely with food dye using an airbrush. The Gears logo was stencilled on and the blood spray was made from candied sugar and dye.

It was a trememdous cake - probably our best yet although his Alien head cake ( yes, the James Cameron Aliens ) still blows my mind.

those are some awesome cakes.... do you do requests? if so how much?

[NomadSoul]

Well, it would be a matter of location due to the extremely delicate and perishable nature of the cakes. If you were located in Vancouver BC we could manage a quote. $$$ depends - time, materials, design - all of this is included when pricing a custom cake.
