Warhammer cake bites into Food Network

A post about a game-related cake can only mean one thing, right? It's a slow news day. Normally, we would agree, but this one is special for a couple of reasons. First of all, Joystiq was actually contacted by a PR company about this cake, so we're guessing it must be a slow PR day, too. Second, this particular cake pretty much leaves all others in the dust.

Modeled after a squig and created for Warhammer Online's Baltimore Games Day booth, the cake is to be featured on Food Network's Ace of Cakes this Thursday, August 27. According to chef Duff Goldman, it's the best cake ever made on the show. Goldman also contributed to the world of strange size comparisons, noting that the cake is "about the size of large sheepdog." Frankly, the cake looks like it could eat a large sheepdog.

Only one question: How do you cut it?

You hit the nail on the head.

It can look great but the most important part is how it tastes.

A few tips for the novice cake maker. Substitute milk for a recipe that calls for water and applesauce for a recipe that calls for oil, shortening or butter. You won't taste the applesauce and it will keep the cake moist longer. As far as the milk goes: do you think hot chocolate would taste better with milk or water? I rest my case on that one. In terms of the applesauce ... just replace is 1:1 as you would the oil. If it's 1/4 cup oil then it's 1/4 cup of applesauce ... easy.

^ This.

Unfortunately, I can't bake very well. But I'm quite good at savory dishes, especially sushi.

@johnnynumber5 Yes! Replace the fat with applesauce! (This phrase was the impetus for some really convoluted stupid late night jokes that are only funny late at night between my college roomies and I. Ah...good times!)
