	That is, indeed, a triumph. Definitely among the top examples of bringing Portal stuff into real life I've seen! Even the cake looks eerily authentic. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	j_n_white 2009-08-05 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	:) Thanks. I haven't actually eaten any of the cake to see if it really is 'so delicious and moist' (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There aren't so much blue prints as various scrawled notes in pencil on various sheets of paper I can give you the dimensions and rough guide of how to make it if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	How did you make the corner pieces? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: I love it j_n_white 2009-08-12 11:09 am UTC (link)
	The corner pieces are 3 layers of MDF glued together then I use the circular saw set at 45 degrees to make the edges. The curved bit is just chiselled out, filed then a bit of wood filler to smooth out any imperfections before finally sanding it (Reply to this) (Parent)
