Reddit Wants This Half-Life Cake To Be Smashed With A Crowbar - Mashed

The headcrab cake caused put thoughts of crowbars to occupy people's heads on Reddit. User Thefnmob13 posted, "Instinctively grabs crowbar," and Norgur added, "Damn, she put so much work into this cake ... just so it gets smashed up by a crowbar. Sad, but this is the way." A third commenter wondered, "Did you cut it with w crowbar?" The original poster followed up, however, by linking to a photo of the cake being cut with a giant knife instead (via Imgur) and sharing, "It's a bit less canonical but still effective." Clearly a lost opportunity.

However, fans took the opportunity to reference yet another fan-favorite aspect of the "Half-Life" universe. People said that "the cake is a lie," a line from the game "Portal" that alludes to a cake that's dangled as a reward that fails to materialize (via Know Your Meme). Some wondered if this implied a not-so-subtle hint from the OP's wife. Redditor jupiterclaw seemed to see a different kind of fake cake: "Nice, I think she is trying to tell you something, basically confirming half life 3. This is good news." Sorry fans, we don't have any updates about a "Half-Life 3."

We do, however, know more about the headcrab cake. In the thread, the OP shares that the cake's flavor is "Lemon chocolate" and that the horns are "basically sugar and cocoa, but yeah, I took a nice bite of it!" Overall, it seems Reddit enjoyed this fantastic food design.
