The Dark Side Of Gaming Cakes
Over the last few weeks, we've shown you fantastic and colorful cakes inspired by a variety of video games. Today however, we bring you a glimpse of the darker side of themed baking.
You may remember the Angry Birds, Mario Kart, and Wind Waker tiered cakes made by gamer and baker-extraordinaire Tracey Rothwell, owner of the Little Cherry Cake Company. What you may not know, is that Rothwell also runs its sister site, the Black Cherry Cake Company.
Rothwell is a huge fan of the horror genre, and it really shows in her work. Her Black Cherry wares are typically inspired by darker or more mature subjects than those featured on the Little Cherry site, but they're just as amazing. Because Rothwell lives in the UK, even making an order is impossible for some of us. Fortunately, there are pictures to sustain us.
You can still see some of her Black Cherry cakes below, including a not-so-scary one based on a beloved Tim Burton film.

Other cakes made by Tracey Rothwell, both scary or otherwise, are showcased in the gallery section of the Black Cherry Cake Company website. For more pictures, visit the Little Cherry Cake Company's Facebook page, where you can see cakes from both sites.
If you haven't already, check out our previous coverage of praise-worthy Okami cakes, a Resogun-inspired cake, and some of Rothwell's less grisly work.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
