Nothing makes a birthday cake more manly than zombies as demonstrated by the Walking Dead Birthday Cake. Created by Maelina from theRPF blog for her husband, the Walking Dead Birthday Cake is the perfect way to celebrate one's love for the undead as they age their towards a similar state.
The cake has many of the characters from the popular AMC show based off of the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman. On top of an a RV is Rick, Lori and Daryl as they attempt to stave off the approaching undead horde. Young Carl and Glenn are also included in the gory pastry masterpiece, however they do not have the luxury of being on high ground.
Despite her lack of cake decorating experience, Maelina's design is brilliantly constructed and looks as delicious as it does haunting.
