Stephen Rushbrook Has Made Video Game Console Cakes for His Office
Mesel Isaac — December 14, 2013 — Lifestyle
These delectable game console cakes were made by a gentleman named Stephen Rushbrook for his lucky co-workers at Stainless Games, where it is tradition that one must bring treats on his or her birthday.
Stephen shaped the icing in the form of the newly released Playstation 4 video game console, which sits atop a toffee and white chocolate cupcake. The idea came about back when it was speculated that the Playstation 4 would be released on December 13, which also happened to Stephen's birthday. A co-worker made a joke that should Stephen get a PS4 for his birthday, that he should bring enough for everyone and surprisingly enough, Stephen did exactly that.
I can only imagine the look on his co-worker's face that day when Stephen showed up with these awesome video game console cakes.
