Today in Joystiq: May 4, 2007

Sure, the so-called Queen of Cake made this tribute to Settlers of Catan (cleverly dubbed Settlers of CaKEtan, here) way back in November 2005, but with the board game's recent release on Xbox Live, we couldn't think of a better time to relive pastry goodness. We're done with gaming cuisine for now, check out the highlights for today:
