Sunday Sweets: When Geeks Marry
November 22, 2009 I'm pretty sure I will never get tired of geeky wedding cakes. Especially when they come in so many great "flavors":

Gamer Geek:
(This is CW reader Christine W.'s wedding cake, by Renaissance Productions & Razzl Dazzl Cake Company.If you're wondering, it's a Tonberry. And if you're not wondering, well, it's still a Tonberry.)

For you wee babes among us, that's Pee Wee's Playhouse. And yes, it's a wedding cake. I do hope they served it with ice cream soup.

LOVE it all!!!
I have "Mekka lekka hi mekka hainey ho" as my welcome screen to my cell phone just because it makes me smile at my geeky cleverness every time I turn my phone on!
I didn't know until just now how much I want a Pee-Wee cake of my own! I hope this starts a trend in them. I was so happy to see he had a stage show going again recently.
"Golly, it's cuckoo..."
Oooh....the SO and I would be terrified if we got a Tonberry cake. We'd be much too afraid that it would try creeping up and giving us a mortal blow when we weren't looking. (shiver!)
The Tonberry cake is awesome - I love it! The first cake is cute too.
Eeee! Tonberry cake is so cute! I would love to see a Moogle cake.
Love these - especially the coding one! How about:
i=0
Do While i >= 0
blnInLove=True
i +=1
Loop
For those non-coders out there, it's an infinite loop :)
I love, love, LOVE the Companion Cube cake. it is definitely NOT a lie.
and my fiancée yelled so loud when he saw the Tonberry cake. I think he's plotting for a Tonberry cake now.
The cake is a lie! The companion is love! If the companion is cake, is love a lie? NO!!!!!!!
The Tonberry cake was made by a good friend of mine. If you didn't check the link to Renaissance Productions, you should.
omg! I was totally excited to see the Tonberry cake! (not because I actually know what it is though, and don't worry, my gamer husband rolled his eyes at me when I told him that). I know the people at Renaissance Productions, and years ago they made a cake for our production of the play All My Sons...I've been meaning to submit it as a Sweet for a while, but I was afraid my pics were sub-par. I'm glad they got a moment to shine though!
I love the coding cake. I had to get my husband to explain the code to me... then we went over all the others in the link and he explained them all to me :D I married a geek.
Some people are just so darn clever.
Oh gosh, these are all fantastic! That tonberry is really stunning and I love that the companion cube cake comes with Anthy and Utena (from Revolutionary Girl Utena)"toppers."
Peewee's Playhouse is such a nostalgia trip!
I love this wedding cakes *-* especialy de Heart box of the game Portal an the little characters of Utena and Anthy from Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Girly squee at the Companion Cube cake!
Although perhaps the vows should now include the statement "To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, 'til one of us euthanizes the other one in order to escape from a megalomaniac artificial intelligence."
word verification clevirde: Well, I thought the joke was clevirde.
Squee over the companion cake (how sad I was when it had to go in the incinerator. My baby!) And OMG Pee Wee's Playhouse!!! That was my favorite show as a kid and I was so excited when Adult Swim had it on like two years ago during the summer. They need to put it back on. "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" "I WILL!"
Omg! Tonberry cake! I love it.
I used love love my weekend shift at the diner because it allowed me to watch all of Pee-wee before work:
Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (like Chairry !)
Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair !
Pee-wee's so excited,
'cause all his friends have been invited (that's you !)
To go wacky, at Pee-wee's playhouse!
There's a crazy rhythm, comin' from puppetland (what that ? )
Dirty Dog, Cool Cat, and Chicky Baby are the puppet band (yeah !)
He's got a couple of talkin' fish,
And a genie who'll grant a wish -
Golly, it's cuckoo at Pee-wee's playhouse !
Globey's spinnin', Mr. Window's grinnin',
'cause Pterri's flyin' by (hello !)
The flowers are singin', the picture phone is ringin',
And the dinosaur family goes, "hi!";
Mr. Kite's soarin', Conky's still a snorin',
There's the flashing magic screen.
The countess is so classy, Randy's kinda sassy -
A nuttier establishment you've never seen !
Spend the day with Pee-wee and you'll see what we mean ! (come on !)
Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (wake up!)
'cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen -
Now we've given you fair warnin' !
It's gonna be that kind of mornin' -
For bein' wacky !
For getting nutty !
Golly, it's cuckoo !
At Pee-wee's playhouse!
(Sorry so long, but I couldn't resist treating my fellow old-school geeks!)
aside: didn't Cyndi Lauper write that Pee Wee song?
cakes: made of win
Awww! My favorite is the coding cake. It's just cute, and it's well done enough that I can get the point even if I'm not a programmer.
Oh golly, I hope the first person to cut up the Tonberry cake loudly said "Doink!" as they did so.
And as for the Peewee's Playhouse cake (which is awesome, of course), all I have to say is:
"Hit me hit me hit me hit me!"
HAH! How's that for obscure references? If anyone knows where that's from, I'll eat my hat. :p
Amazing. I just got introduced to Tonberries earlier today.
now i wonder if my geek wedding cake e-mail got though *ponders*
Go, Tonberry cake! Although I admit if I were going for a Final Fantasy critter cake, I would have to stick with the super-cute moogle, classic design.
The Tonberry cake is cute!
Aren't those characters on the Companion Cube cake Utena and Anthy from "Revolutionary Girl Utena"?
Oh I LOVE the companion cube!!!
Holy... (no pun intended, Tonberry fans)
When I scrolled down to the Tonberry, I was convinced that I had just laid eyes upon the coolest cake ever made.
Then... then I scrolled on down to the Utena & Anthy cake. That series was my very first anime obsession.
This post OWNS THE WORLD.
That last one can also be served with parfaits! Mmmm, parfait-y!
The ladies married with the Companion Cube/ Utena cake are friends of friends of mine. :) (and we go to the same geek convention).
*glees*
OMG YOU MENTIONED OFFBEAT BRIDES!!! Only one of my FAVORITE blogs evar! That mention has further cemented you into "Awesome Awesomehood" for me. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
"Kat said...
On the Companion Cube Cake there are two characters. The characters are Utena and Anthy from the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena. Why their on the Companion Cube Cake, I'm not sure, but they are also adorable! ^_^"
Gir suggests that those two characters probably have some meaning to the geeks, maybe their favorite anime?
Okay, the Tonberry makes me really happy.
I heard that if you eat 18-22 Tonberry cakes, a King Tonberry cake will appear.
I linked my geek partner to this post. His response was to alternate between "awww" (i.e. these are some sweet geeky cakes) and "eek" (i.e. that could be us!).
The Companion Cube cake is outstanding! Very detailed. (and extra geek points for Utena & Anthy!)
And love does conquer all, when a Mac marries a PC. =D
Adorable! My hubby and I are both somewhat geeky but our wedding cake was nice and normal. (my mother was probably secretly relieved!)
The Pee Wee's Playhouse cake is fab ! Just so you know, I don't think that is supposed to be Pee Wee and Miss Yvonne getting married...her dress isn't fluffy enough and Pee Wee is already married to a fruit salad ! (eye winking)
Love your numbering scheme for the Top 20

OMG, that Tonberry is adorable! And I <3 the Companion Cube.
The companion cube cake is a LIE!! xD
interesting. . . . ..
A great big YES! for that Pee-Wee's Playhouse cake! I have the series on DVD and my kids LOVE to watch it. Pee-Wee was timeless.
Also, my WV is stfutio. Just giggling at the stfu part.
I love the cake from Portal ^_^
they have anthy and utena on the cube cake. and thay have a rose!X)
That code cake is fantatsic! I *love* the USB cupcakes! So fantastic.
I feel like the have_and_hold / love_and_cherish functions should clearly take arguments...
HOLY CRAP! IT'S A PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE CAKE!!!! THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!! I AM IN AWE!
And yes, the caps were necessary.
So cute! And funny too! Love it!
If I ever marry the bloke I'm fond of right now, we'll have the Mac Loves Windows cake – he's a PC computer technician, I'm a Mac graphic design student. They can actually mix well!
TONBERRY!!
*ahem* No, the above pretty much sums it up.
The best thing about the Portal cake is that it's doubly geeky-- the figurines are two characters from Revolutionary Girl Utena, an anime. XD
