HOWTO bake Nintendo 1UP cakes

David sez, "I made these 1UP Cakes for the one year anniversary of a Nintendo DS night near me, and have now put the recipe up on Instructables." Link (Thanks, David!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I can’t look at these mushroom cupcakes without hearing the sound they make. I guess it’s like a 21st c. madeleines experience?

If those are Enzyte pills on the sides they’d definitely make you “bigger.”

They don’t look great, but would you eat a fire flower? Especially one that magically changed the colour of your pants?

Those look fantastic and the tops contain large amount of chocolate, which I am always down with. I wonder if I can find vegan white chocolate? These would be great for my DS-lovin’ friends b-day
