Skylanders featured on Food Network’s Cake Masters

If you’re like me, you’re a fan of both Skylanders and cake. In that case, I hope you were watching Food Network on Tuesday. As announced on publisher Activision’s blog, the premier of Food Network’s new show, Cake Masters, had celebrity baker Duff Goldman and his team putting together a giant Skylanders cake in honor of the franchise’s fifth anniversary for Activision.

The cake features the lovably evil villain Kaos, along with four classic Skylanders: Spyro, Eruptor, Stealth Elf, and Jet-Vac. As is typical for the baker, the cake was wired with a number of special effects. These included an LED to mimic Spyro’s fire breath and a rig to make Eruptor spew out pudding in place of his trademark lava. There were plans to have Kaos emit real electricity, but it was deemed too dangerous. If you want to see the cake in the making, the episode will re-air on Saturday, April 16th. And if you’d like to learn more about the Skylanders series, you can check out our review of the most recent entry, Skylanders Superchargers.

Open the bio of Jake Sapir

On the cutting edge of early 90's technology, Jake entered the world of gaming through edutainment titles like The Oregon Train and Number Munchers. His first true video games were Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Aladdin for the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) and he was hooked immediately. The very concept of playing games on the TV excited him, let alone such exciting ones.

As a child at the start of the 3D revolution, he only wanted one thing: a Playstation. But it was too expensive, so he decided on the Nintendo 64. That Nintendo 64 kid in the famous video? It isn't him, but it's a pretty good representation of his reaction on that birthday.

Constant trips to Blockbuster in the cold Chicago winter to rent Super Mario 64 were common until the game became easier to find. Then one day, reading Nintendo Power, he saw news of a game called Zelda. Nintendo was making a 3D Zelda game, and though he had no idea what that meant, he knew he had to get this game that people kept talking about.

From the moment he received the golden cartridge from his grandmother (who happens to be named Zelda), it was clear: Ocarina of Time was and still is his favorite video game ever.

Unlike the stereotypical Nintendo fan, though, his taste in games is varied. He splits his time between the likes of Skylanders, Forza, Destiny, Pokemon, and Kingdom Hearts. He is a proponent of many failed consoles, having spent countless hours with the Game.com, Neo Geo Pocket, N-Gage, Dreamcast, and even the Virtual Boy.

One step into his Chicago apartment shows his devotion, from the Master Sword on the wall to the Portal Gun on the shelf. An avid player of both video and tabletop games, he hopes to prove that not all accountants are boring.
