The Creation of Bethesda's Bloody Mess Cake

Bethesda's Pete Hines stopped by the company's official blog to explain why and how the company created the "Bloody Mess" cake presented at the Fallout 3 press event last month.
Bloody Mess is one of my favorite things about Fallout. It's just so meaningless; no gameplay purpose whatsoever. Just more bloody deaths than normal, represented by this icon of a smiling Vault Boy casually blowing another guy away.and it's captured a fraction of a second after he's pulled the trigger. It's just genius on every level.

So I go into work on Monday and I go into Todd's office and told him I wanted to make a big 3D Bloody Mess cake and have the one guy's head completely whole, and put fireworks in it, and then during the party we'd light them and blow the guy's head off in an actual bloody mess. The cake could be, like, raspberry cake with gooey stuff in it..

They should really sell birthday variants of this cake at the local grocery store.
