Here’s some wholesomeness to get Wednesday off to a flavorful start. There’s no denying that one of the most notable marketing features of smash hit Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the very fun/very silly “Kirby Car” — a small, rusted, two-door sedan that gets a new lease of life after being semi-swallowed by our favorite pink puffball. Beep! Beep!
Almost immediately after the cute car debuted in trailers, it quickly and understandably became a beloved subject for fan artists and meme-makers everywhere. But this effort, from culinary genius @maaco414, (aka Manna-Tanuki), quite literally takes the cake, as they have crafted Kirby’s pint-sized vehicle into an equally pint-sized and delicious-looking dessert — It’s a Kirby Car Cake!
With a few simple ingredients, including sponge cake, cream, strawberries, cherries, mini-cookies, and some colored icing, Manna-Tanuki creates one of the most adorable cakes to ever grace an afternoon tea. Frankly, it looks too cute to eat, a sentiment clearly not shared by the cat pictured below, who is sneakily eyeing up the cream-laden treat.
