It's Tuesday morning after a long weekend, the heat in our building has been cranked up to rival the temperature in an assisted living facility, and I have not yet had any caffeine. What to do? I'm staring at photos of cupcakes made to look like our favorite 80's video games, of course.

An Australian student know on Flickr as "hello naomi" has baked up some impressive cupcakes topped with sugary renderings of characters from Super Mario Bros and Pac-Man. Naomi was not too impressed with her Princess Peach efforts ("she's a little chubby"), but she is actually my favorite, along with the Pac-Man ghosts.
