This HR Giger/Alien wedding cake from Jet City Cakes in Kirkland, WA, is bursting with delightfulness!

H.R. Giger Cake (Thanks, RickKleffel!)

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.

    It’s a cake that you have to nuke from orbit. Just to be sure.

    No, have you?

    Excellent use of the little silver sprinkles!

    Shouldn’t those be face huggers topping the cake?

    OK, any inaccuracies concerning the Alien life cycle do not detract from the awesomeness of the cake. I wouldn’t want to eat it though.

      The face-hugger will come out of the baby shower cake.

    …having just spent three months carving a full size space jockey in polystyrene at pinewood, I feel this baker’s pleasure/ pain.
    Nice work… and more edible than my efforts…
