The whole point of the Nintendo Switch is that it's slim, and portable; it's easy to carry around and easy to pick up and play. But since we've been clamouring for a Switch Pro probably ever since the OG Switch came out, it's fun to imagine what it could look like.
May we present to you: THICK SWITCH.
It's like the CRT TV of Switches, no doubt packed with chips and batteries and all the good things that would make the Thick Switch run 4K 120FPS video games. That's what everyone wants, right? Imagine playing this large boi in bed. You'd crush your legs. It would be worth it.

Unfortunately — or fortunately, if you're hungry — this Thick Switch is actually a cake. It's an incredibly impressive cake, though, with tiny fondant control sticks and Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the screen (and note that the bezels are razor-thin compared to the Nintendo Switch's bordered screen). This cake took skill (and a lot of fondant), and even though it's not a playable Thick Switch, it's still a cake worth celebrating.
The cake was made by the mother of young Eli, who has just turned ten (happy belated birthday, Eli!) who presumably loves all the same things as us: Nintendo, Zelda, and eating electronics.
Do you think this is what a Switch Pro could look like? Or would you prefer Long Switch and/or Wide Switch? Let us know in the comments!

This looks amazing. I'd love to have this cake.
Have you guys been eating electronics?
"Why be slick when you can be thick?"
Dang, that Switch is looking thicc 😍

@Just2Milky are we not supposed to? uh oh.
Not the freakin' cakes again. lol
Allright; this is the news - New Switch Oled (BIGGER screen!) , new Metroid game out. This post aint the biggest news... fun though. and hey, its my birthday this month. so bring it on (the cake...)
Lol, how would you even play a Switch with such prodigious chonkiness, it'd be awkward as hell. Anyway, impressive cake, I'm curious what the cross section looks like.
@Just2Milky uhhhhh
That's really creative and well done. A real showcase of cake decorating talent. Very nice.
Crikey. How did they get their mits on the blueprint for the switch pro. That HDR 🤤🤤🤤😜
Hmm a thick Switch. I better call my pals at Digital Floundering.
'Hi, Dave here. We were (mmm) lucky enough (munch munch) to get our hands on the delicious (nomnom) thick Switch. It's design affords (scoff) to totally do away with the (snaffle) kick stand but we did notice the Joy cons tended to drift into our mouths. Oh...it's gone. And now I am sad.'
@KateGray this is true journalism, thank you for writing about what really matters.
Food coloring horrifies me, but this is a cool idea. And considering there have been some ugly cakes in this world, extra kudos for this turning out so well.
After 4.5 years, a launch title still takes the cake!
"Yes hello I would like to order a switch.....yep...... and EXTRA THICK".
Mario Caker.
Hmm, is that it? Can you think of someting more to say?
No.
Based on the name and number, this is clearly a sports-related cake.
What do you mean I'm the only sports ball fan on the entire site? OK, OK, I'm leaving the article. Fine. Bye already! I said FINE!
Nintendo Switch Birthdate Edition
Beating Bon Appetit to the punch with this one 😉
@Chocobo_Shepherd My first thoughts also went to the the hero, the champion, the mvp, the legend killer, the best Manning.
This Switch model is half-baked and should have been pie instead. Caketendo is DOOMED! Going to need to see a teardown video. Has Digital Foundry compared the performance to a pie yet? Pies are obviously superior. If it doesn't do pie it's a waste of time.
@NoxAeturnus Digital Floundering heard that Caketendo were looking into releasing a pie that would exemplify the meat and potatoes of gaming...but the performance was flaky.
I wonder if the Cakecons separate from the base unit. And the kickstand on the back is probably the same size as before. Serious caking skills here. Well done.
So this is a "What if Switch had Game Pad's Proportions" article?
I wouldn't advise eating that. I heard it's bitter.
@NEStalgia The GamePad tastes like glossy plastic and broken teeth.
Explain like I'm 10.
@ObeseChihuahua2 I thought it tasted like salty tears and shattered dreams? Maybe that was just mine.
Basically a Steam Deck.
I’ve had this cake. Tasty but the joy-cons drift like crazy
The piggy in me really wants to know what flavor the actual cake is 😂
Awesome! Super well done! Consoles make good cakes!
Looks like the Nintendo Switch (8K 120 FPS model).
Ok. That looks totally awesome. I actually thought someone made a functional Thick Switch . . . like the Long Game Boy or the Wide Game Boy Advance. LOL. +1,000,000 points to the mom for making this!
@Just2Milky
This is why they added the bitter coating to carts.
"Switch Pro? Is that you?"
lmao that killed me! 🤣
This reminds me of that Wii U April Fools video on YouTube about the Super Wii U
@Just2Milky
I mean, who doesn't enjoy eating chips?
@Deady fist bump ^_^
@BAN Nah the Steam Deck is heftier than that...
The kickstand obviously collapsed under the weight of the cake.
THAT'S A THICC BOI
