Finder icon birthday cake will make your day
If there's one thing I like better than pie, it's cake. And if there's a best kind of cake, it's definitely one that's shaped in the form of something geeky. Which means the video above, which shows what seems to be a tasty confection in the form of Apple's Finder icon, hits the spot perfectly. David B.'s wife made it for him for his birthday earlier this week, he says over on his Twitter account. He doesn't say what kind of cake it is, but given that it's Finder, I'm going to guess chocolate. An iTunes icon cake would give off a more "vanilla" vibe to me.
We've also, you'll remember, seen this Finder icon parading around on pillows as well. Which isn't too surprising -- who could pass up a face like that? Not only is he a handsome dude with a mischievous smile, but he's got access to all your files and passwords. That's the kind of guy you'd better get along with.
Thanks to Chris Pirillo for the tip!

That's a cool cake. I think the style of it looks like the finder more than almost any other app-cake I've seen [looks like its respective app]. (but finder doesn't have access to your passwords...just had to mention)

"He"? Don't you mean "they"? You HAVE noticed that the Finder logo has three faces, have you? (And to anyone who hasn't noticed that yet, the left half of the logo is one face, the right is another, and the whole logo is the third. Now you will never look at file management the same way again.)
Anyway, that is awesome. The Finder logo is very cake friendly. More so than the Windows Explorer one, that's for sure. Actually, to tell the truth, I can't remember off the top of my head what exactly the WE logo is...

I always thought it was two faces. Can't really see how the left side could be a face unless he's got a broken nose. :P

Well, of course it's a chocolate cake- the Finder is written in Cocoa after all.
