Warhammer Online invades Ace of Cakes tonight

Tonight (August 27) on Food Networks Ace of Cake’s Chef Duff will be showing off a pretty amazing cake he and his team helped create for Mythic’s popular MMORPG, Warhammer Online. The cake, shown below, is modeled after a familiar Warhammer Online creature - the Squig. The cake was part of Warhammer Online’s Baltimore Games Day booth earlier this year and was well received by everyone that saw it first hand - as you’ll see in tonight’s episode. Interestingly, Duff calls the Squig the best cake he’s made on the show. In a recent interview with USA Today Chef Duff said as much:

“It’s coming up. We made a cake of a monster called Squig from a video game called Warhammer for a video-game convention. This thing was about the size of large sheepdog. It was gigantic. It was a humongous cake balanced on two legs.”

The show will debut tonight at 10 PM EST on Food Network. Click on the pciture below to see it now:
