Elder Scrolls Fan Gets Skyrim-Themed Cake for Their Birthday

gamerant.com:

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is one of the best-selling games ever, having sold more than 30,000 copies as of 2017. That puts it roughly in the same range as Diablo 3, the reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and, somewhat surprisingly, the 2016 puzzle-platformer Human: Fall Flat.

The point is that there are plenty of hardcore Skyrim fans, and many of them might appreciate an Elder Scrolls birthday surprise. One of these people turns out to be a Reddit user called testrazgovor, whose girlfriend recently gave them a Skyrim-themed birthday cake.

The Reddit user shared a photo on the Skyrim subreddit, much to the delight of their fellow fans. While testrazgovor didn’t mention the flavor or any other details about the cake, it certainly looks like a delicious tribute to the immersive open-world RPG. The circular cake is covered in what appears to be grey and black fondant, with the two sheets splitting it down the middle. The Reddit user’s girlfriend decorated the grey side with a fondant version of Skyrim’s logo. Meanwhile, an edible recreation of Skyrim’s Iron Helmet sits on top of the black half.

The cake is hardly the first case of an impressive Skyrim-themed dessert. However, it is undoubtedly a brilliant example of some real baking and decorating skills on the part of testrazgovor’s girlfriend. It certainly impressed a fair number of users on the Skyrim subreddit, with many giving the expected playful encouragements for testrazgovor to make their girlfriend their wife. One commenter even added that they actually did marry a girlfriend who gave them a Skyrim cake, proving that there is at least some precedent for the common joke becoming a reality.
