I went to an Austin cake show today, and amid several superhero cakes, wedding confections and some impressive feats of fondant I stumbled upon an ode to Angry Birds. I don’t know who entered the cake, as the entry forms don’t offer personal details, but if I were judging this competition, it would get my vote.
For those who want more Angry Birds, check out Om’s video interview with the guys who designed the game.

That is so awesome! I just finished Hogs and Kisses (Angry Birds Seasons) not too long ago and am patiently waiting for next season. :D
Oooh! The Austin Cake Show was on my list for today. Amazing cake. I’ve been on a kick looking at angry birds cakes and cupcakes. My husband is obsessed and it’d be a fun birthday surprise!
Wonderful, but is it playable like this one?
