Twilight Princess Hylian Shield Cake

March 6th, 2013 by queenkoopa

Not everyone wants their mum to make a birthday cake for their “special day,” unless of course your mum’s baking skills match the legendary craftsmanship wielded by the ancient Hylian blacksmiths! Few of us can say that they have ever gazed upon such a glorious Zelda tribute in edible form as this 18-year old’s shining birthday cake. The cake is a stunning replica of the Hylian shield design debuted in Twilight Princess.

The metallic sheen on the cake was produced by an edible glaze, which gives the cake the durable appearance of the metal shield from the game. Notice the flawless detail of the Hylian Crest placed perfectly below the golden Triforce, all the fine touches that really… put the icing on the cake.

Riorus, a UK user on Reddit claims that his mother is not a professional cake smith but has been forging him and his sister special cakes, like this one, all of their lives. This is clearly a cake worthy of a knight whose ancestors lived amongst the gods! If you had this cake would you eat it or preserve it through the ages? Let us know in the comments below.

If I had this cake, I wouldn’t want to eat it. I would just hang it up on my wall.

How is that flawless? Sorry to be the negative voice. But that looks bad!
No symmetry what so ever..
- rjhewgyrfu (aka ruifgyqforug)
  
  I agree there. I do like the cake and appreciate the work, and I understand it is difficult to make a perfect cake by hand, even nearly impossible – but that doesn’t mean it can be called “flawless”.
  
  However, I don’t agree that it looks bad. I love it.
  - Kravik
    
    Ah! So refreshing with some sane arguments!
    
    I can agree with you there. I worded myself wrong. I do not think it is bad either..
    
    I REALLY have a problem with someone calling something that asymmetrical for flawless though..

    Who ever wrote that is in dire need of a dictionary, or some glasses!
    
    (Note: Someone will still read this as me claiming something about me being flawless.. I pity those who do, though.)

  Says the guy with a broken Triforce for his avatar.
  - Kravik
    
    LOL ..
    
    Who says it is a triforce? And where ever did you if it was; see me claim it to be flawless? Even pretending to be? HAHAHAHA..
    
    I just love it when people argument like this! Keep it up!
- Guy
  
  u think u can do better?
  - Kravik
    
    Than claiming something so flawed to be flawless? YES!
- Kravik
  
  Just for the sake of this conversation:
  
  This IS flawless detail of the Hylian Crest placed perfectly below the golden Triforce:

If this cake has chocolate inside that would be amazing!

  I’m guessing it has three flavors. The flavors are based on the three colors of the goddesses. The Green layer is Mint, Red Velvet, and Blueberry.
  That actually sounds pretty good. Especially if it has chocolate filling between the layers.

The cake is a LIE!
- Guy
  
  I remember when i found that in portal for the first time…

  You can never trust bad guys. Demise is lying. The cake is true.
  
  But, according to you, he’s lying about a liar’s lie. So shouldn’t what he said be the truth? The cake is a lie.
  
  But a triple lie is still a lie. Therefore, the cake is true.
  
  But the liar doesn’t count as a lie, but the teller of one lie. So a it’s a double negative, or a positive. So the cake is a lie.
  
  This isn’t math, it’s basic grammar. The cake is not a lie, but is true.
  
  But you just did a double negative to positive. The cake must be a lie.
  
  That was a rare case of absolutes. Just because it’s a double negative doesn’t mean it has to be a sure positive.
  
  This is getting confusing. Is the cake a lie or not?!?!?
  
  How should I know? I wasn’t the one who ate it and it’s lemon flavor!
  
  Wait. How did you know the cake had lemon inside?
  
  Gotta go!
  
  Wait, what’s that in your background? …! http://i.imgur.com/Ffe7NG7.jpg

    Oh darn. I was trying to get it so that the person who said the cake was fake was the one who ate it, not the real cake person… 1 line off…

I love cake. I love all cake, and making cakes, and making them beautiful. Despite the fact that the silvery designs could ahve been more polygonal, it’s still cool.

If only my mother(another master caker)was also a Zelda fan… :’) One can only dream.
