Space station cake from EVE Online

This amazing EVE Online Gallente Space Station cake was created by Duff Goldma of Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, MD. It's unquestionably the greatest MMORPG space-station cake I've ever seen.

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.

Really cool, but that doesn’t seem edible…

  Cakes aren’t really about food any more, are they…

  Not unless you like your cakes having the texture of sheetrock

  It doesn’t look edible, and is so detailed that it seems a shame to eat it, but it probably is. Depending on the part you’re looking at, though, it may be more like a candy shell with a little bit of cake in the center.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: why, after spending considerable funds to hire skilled artisans to create something with considerable visual aesthetic appeal, would you want to stick a knife in it and eat it?

Also, I would be inclined to believe a good fraction of that is rice krispies, for structural purposes.

  EVE players are precisely the appropriate demographic. They’ll happily spend months loading up cakes with bangles, only to demolish it with forks in seconds. In this metaphor, internet space ships are cakes and forks are lasers.

  Maybe it is like the intricate sand mandalas that are made with the understanding that they are impermanent.

  Ephemeral art has been around for a while. In fact, when I was a student in NYC we visted the Museum of Temporary Art a few times. But I hear it’s not there any more.

But NOT the greatest MMORPG cake, overall. That honor goes to ol’ Squiggy:
