Some video game fans, particularly those in the Nintendo camp, sure go to a lot of trouble to demonstrate just how much they love their chosen games or franchises. It also seems that there's no better combination than big gaming fans doing something for their own little gamers, as this cake based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword demonstrates.
There's a lot of actual cake in this construction, but also a fair number of small mechanical parts to give it various moving parts. It's on a truly impressive scale, with Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, Faron Woods and a host of characters all making an appearance. To give you an idea of the amount of effort something like this takes, below is a quote from the blog entry by its creators, Will and Liliana Turnbow.
The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it.
The video below shows the full cake in all of its glory, along with some footage showing how it was pulled together. We're sure it tastes delicious, too.

You can eat the Temple and maybe the characters
Woah, thats weird and kind of ugly but really impressive all at the same time
On the Eurogamer article they showed as Super Mario Galaxy cake too. It must take them forever to get everything together.
I want to eat Groose's pompadour.
I question the edibility of this cake... But on the other hand, who would eat it?
Wow...
How is this even possible?!
Good gravy!
Looks like something you'd see on Cake Boss.
That is the best cake you could ever make!
there are ways to make yummy decorative cakes, but this does look like it falls into the "it was so cool that we didn't eat it until it was out and poked around for three days".
I probably would just leave it because I wouldn't want to eat it and destroy it.
@WingedFish you mean Ace of Cakes, I don't believe in Cake Boss, it somehow got more popular than the original awesome cake show
anyway, OMG IT MOVES! moving cakes are cool
We would be human like-likes!!
I wasn't impressed by the picture, but after watching the video.... Wow!
Thats EPIC!!!!
Hahaha it seems the nativity scene
Looks delicious!
Beyond awesome
Awesome cake! I don't care if its bog standard ingredients, etc, it's still an edible work of art!
Just AWESOME .
Wonderful... :')
I want that for my Birthday. Aw.. but it looks to special to eat!
Most of that "cake" isn't even edible, but it looks really good in action.
With those skills, why make it a cake? Just make it a toy, it´s not like it´s going to taste really good anyway.
Can haz a slice?
@Savino you said it best. i went to a wedding once where the cake tasted like room temperature butter without salt. in other words, animal fat. no flavor, nothing. it was awful. most wedding cakes built this way without flavor are terrible and only for looks. useless
It looks more like a sculpture than a cake. I wonder if tastes good though..I also wonder how many eggs were used to make this thing. Hmmm... maybe I should hire a food critic.
CAAAAKE Sorry about that but i Love Cake
Wow, truly astonishing, is that a small screen inside the temple of time (for the moving cogs)?
Very cool!
I wouldn't dare to eat that.
I would store that cake forever and pass it on to my Grand children!
Magnificent! *teary eyed
I kind of feel like this would be even cooler if they had made it out of something like... oh, I don't know, clay? You know, something that won't decompose over time. Still, it's pretty impressive.
Like a Cake Boss...
The best thing about this cake is you don't have to horizontal slash then vertical slash those piranha plants, you can just eat them
