Comments on: Extermicake! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/27/extermicake/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I think my new mission in life may be realising the dream of the Deep (Frosting) Impact cake.

If you want to delete both of my comments (the previous and ths one), that'd be fine. I guess I'll also point out that there's some links at the bottom of the page to other awful geeky (sci-fi themed) cakes, as well as some very nicely done examples.
