HOWTO bake a Portal cupcake

Starshipminivan sez, "Finally, the promise of Portal has been fulfilled. These cupcakes are not a lie and you don't even have to listen to GlaDOS, just bake, decorate, and consume these mini flavor marvels. Perhaps the cake is a lie but the cupcake is at least a half-truth. These rich, moist cupcakes, topped with frosting and chocolate, are delicious mini replicas of the black forest cake seen in Portal. You'll be in heaven but 'still alive' after eating one." The Cupcake is Not a Lie: Portal Cupcakes (Thanks, starshipminivan!)

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.

But there’s no sense crying when there’s science to do.
