Pokemon Fan Creates Adorable 3D Togepi Cakes

A Pokemon fan has created some three-dimensional Togepi cakes that are almost too cute to be eaten. The charming creations have drawn praise from the fan community and highlight one of the cutest Pokemon to premiere in Gen 2.

Togepi is a bit unusual among its fellow Pokemon in that it premiered in the TV series quite a while before the games got around to introducing it. The Pokemon anime saw Ash and company finding the mysterious egg which eventually hatched to reveal Togepi. The addition of Togepi to the anime before the release of Pokemon Gold and Silver led to a lot of fan rumors about how the Pokemon could be found and caught, which all turned out to be false. However, it just goes to show that the Pokemon was popular from the start with so many fans eager to add one to their collection.

Pokemon fan and confectioner miscellaneousmao shared their adorable Togepi cakes with the game's subreddit, explaining how they were made and what they consist of. Miscellaneousmao took clear dessert cups and decorated the inside walls with candy melts to create Togepi's iconic red and blue geometrical shapes. From there, they filled the cups with whipped cream, frosting, and cake, building the base that Togepi peeks out of. The top of the Pokemon cake is made with additional cake and chilled buttercream that they smoothed into the iconic shape of Togepi's spiky head. Miscellaneousmao made a few different versions, with Togepi expressing various levels of happiness.

While most commenters seemed to agree that the Togepi cakes are adorable, some thought they were entirely too cute to eat. A second image shared by miscellaneousmao with most of Togepi's head removed and showing the interior cake disturbed some fans, who were a little alarmed at seeing Togepi actively being eaten. Others joked that they couldn't wait to dig in after breaking through the head, and miscellaneousmao humorously responded by saying that like its in-game self, this Togepi is weak to steel, thus easy to
