    Custom Tron Cake

    While this is not an action figure it was still made by me and a total custom job so I wanted to share it with you guys. My son LOVED the new Tron movie last year and when his birthday came around and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he said Tron. Since no one could make it for me, I had to do it myself. Between printing, cutting, and assembling all the pieces and actually making the cake and all, this thing took almost 5 hours to complete and when it was finished, I didn't want anyone to eat it. Although it looks simple, The Recognizer was a total pain in the rump to put together. The figures on the cake are all printed on heavy cardboard and held up by toothpics and I found the perfect lettering (which were edible) at a grocery store.

    These pictures don't really don't do it justice but wait to you see it lit....



    Here it is in action:



    Everyone said it was delicious but to me, having to eat it after all the work I put into it was bitter sweet.

            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                              Awesome. You know that is the cake that he'll remember forever. Years from now, he'll be sitting around on his version of the Mego Museum, telling his buddies about the amazing cake dear ol' dad made for him back in the day.
