Happy Birthday Cake iPhone App May Result in Spit All Over Your iPhone

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 18:15:00 EDT

AppTOKYO (!!!) is offering their new "Happy Birthday Cake" iPhone app for free for one month, so you can literally do as little as possible to celebrate somebody's birthday.

The app provides a space to type in that sorta-lucky person's name on the "cake," and then he or she can blow out the "candles" by blowing saliva all over your iPhone. But once the candles are blown out (and it looks like that takes a bit of effort), the birthday boy or girl will get a nice round of applause for being a good sport. Check out the video below.

Best Husband Ever Bakes Wife Nikon D700 Cake...With a Surprise

Sean Fallon — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:20:00 EST

Flickr user fsumaria has herself a great husband. After all, only a great husband would bake a Nikon D700 cake for his wife's birthday then follow it up by giving her the real thing.

I have to admit that I'm a little jealous. Sure, getting a D700 DSLR for your birthday is awesome, but I'm also jealous about the idea...how good it is. Backing up a big gift with a cake like this is definitely going to be a home run. [fsumaria via Doobybrain via Likecool]

Millennium Falcon Cake Can't Hyperspace, But is Best Birthday Cake Ever

Kit Eaton — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:41:00 EDT

This Millennium Falcon was never going to do the Kessel Run... but it might just qualify as the most awesome birthday cake ever made. I mean, look at the detail! Made by Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, one lucky guy received it this weekend... and can you guess his generous brother's profession? Yup, you were close: it's as a sysadmin. I just hope he appreciated it, since I know an armload of people who'd weep with joy if this arrived on their birthday. Particularly if it were cunningly combined with LED birthday candles for special lighting effects. There's another pic below, if you haven't seen enough.

Now all I need to do is remind my wife of this posting when my birthday comes a little nearer... [LaughingSquid]

Gigantic Optimus Prime Birthday Cake Forcefully Removes Socks From Feet

Morgan Valentine, better known as best wife ever, ordered a custom-made Optimus Prime cake for her husband's 30th birthday. The cake was made by Nashville's The French Connection, and has dirt, rocks, grass, plants and an Optimus Prime the size of a toddler. I bet the guy even got sex afterwards. [Flickr via Boing Boing]
