Cake battle update: Horde wins (so far)!
The cake madness continues! Ackman from the Burning Legion got married recently and his (oh-so-supportive) wife agreed to a cake design of his choosing. His idea? A Horde crest identical to the one designed by Samwise. The cake looks absolutely awesome, if not necessarily delectable (are those real or fondant feathers?). Ackman attests to its edibility, though, as he describes the cake as chocolate fudge with mint frosting and fondant, highlighted with silver leafing. That certainly makes me hungry like an orc!
To recap this cake battle, a couple of cakes that resemble the Alliance crest put the Alliance at two, while an Orc shield and one of Orgrimmar give the Hordies a score of three along with the cake pictured above. So, are any creative bakers up to the challenge of making another Alliance-themed cake? Maybe one of Stormwind or -- even more challenging, the Exodar! If you send it to the WoW Insider offices, we'll generously put the score up by two.I'm We're greedy for cake. Check out the link for another pic.

This is absolutely the best use of Faction-hatred. Baking delicious cakes.

My girlfriend got me this cake the night I dinged 70. She doesn't bake, she knows nothing about WoW, but she knew that 70 was a big deal. What it lacks in artistry, I think it makes up for in love.

I don't think the wedding cake is int he same category as the birthday one. The wedding cake was professionally made and the birthday cake was made persoanlly.
Huge difference in my opinion and not comparable.
besides.. Alliance owns all !
Alchemistmerlin Apr 7th 2008 6:56PM
They aren't comparable in intent or purpose (other than "be delicious") but they're still both cakes, so they both count for 1.
I'm horde, but I feel like I should get to crackin' on an alliance cake...
Do cupcakes count?

Game cake homemade by your wife for your birthday > paying a professional to one-up the Alliance cake
Both are tasty anyway. :3

Why I didn't think of something like that for my husband's Groom's cake I will never know (and we were playing WoW at that time then too...so no excuse why i didn't think of doing something like that)...
Hmm...he's got a b'day in a month...I guess I can call a bakery and see what they can do (I don't do cakes, lol)
