Extermicake video

Enough scoffing at the amateurs. Let's see how the professionals do it.

Extermicake #15

Ah very good, at least from the slats down. Even though the top bit looks like something played with by a dung beetle, this one has to score highly because of the lovely little army of Dalek minions formed out of walnut whips. Personally I'd have kept the walnuts on top as they resemble Kaled mutants far more than marshmallows do, but frankly I'm nitpicking.

Extermicake #14

The lamest so far. Everything's an afterthought. Is that a grape on a cocktail stick for the 'sink plunger'? It doesn't even look like it's been baked yet. Enough to make Davros weep into his beer. Who's that in the background? Ray Cusick?

Extermicake #13

Shame this one couldn't get through to Skaro Samaritans before it took the path of self-extermination. Oh the horror - see how much damage a death ray can do to sponge cake. Reduced to a sort of crumpled fudge, this poor sod's blasting days are well and truly over.

Extermicake #12

This one has a snooty air about it. Nobody likes a bighead. And that head is way too big. One can't help feeling all that white icing and silver food colouring is a bit of a cheat. Bring back the chocolate I say! To be fair, quite nice attention to detail, but it's kind of what you'd expect a Dalek to look like reflected in a funfair mirror.

Extermicake #11

Lucy In The Sky With Daleks! This one clearly ate all the pies on Skaro. So that's two lollipops for arms then is it? Two plungers effectively. So how's it going to exterminate anyone? C'mon fellas, you're losing your heads.

Extermicake #10

Ye Gods! Daleks don't do pink. It's one of the immutable laws of space and time. The 'crown of thorns' candle display is also borderline sacrilegious. Not that that's ever bothered the Daleks. Probably the best plunger we've seen to date but those matchmaker arms look terribly spindly.

Extermicake #9

More than a touch of the multi-coloured 70s Pertwee era about this. And surprisingly the first appearance of Smarties! A fascinating free-form use of twiglets and a polo mint the appendages. Nice to look at but probably not the nicest flavour combination. But hey, they're not actually menat to be eaten are they?

Extermicake #8

Another overly wide base but full marks for the relative intricacy of the eye stalk. Looks a bit moody this one, or perhaps it's just shy. Quite a brown number too. Do they have sun beds on Skaro?

Extermicake #7

This resembles some kind of early Victorian torture device. Forget staircases, this baby would struggle to get down any typical pavement with skirts that wide. Appears to have a curious chocolate egg sat on top of its central tower of biscuits. Actually quite scary.

Extermicake #6

A work in progress. Or perhaps a Shetland Dalek. You get the feeling the maker thinks the eye is a nose. This displays an unimaginative use of chocolate fingers - how can blaster, 'sink plunger' and eye/nose all be the same? It''s enough to make Mr. Nation turn in his grave.

Extermicake #5

Good Lord, this one's all over the place - aside from the novel use of dolly mixtures for skirting and eye, that looks like layers of jam used for the slats which doesn't lend itself to robust structural integrity. And as for the candle...

Extermicake #4

More a Kaled mutant than a full-on pepperpot of death. Presumably lopsided for more mountainous terrain, this one displays the return of Maltesers and the first appearance of liquorice allsorts, although quite what that pink thing lying at its side is anyone's guess. Answers on a postcard please.

Extermicake #3

This one's obviously having a bit of a rest after a hard day's killing. The colouring suggests it's an Imperial Dalek but it might just be albino. Chocolate buttons (or possibly Minstrels) for hemispheres and an intriguing cocktail stick and fruit pastille combo for the various appendages. Note the advanced technology of the Skaro Saucer.

Extermicake #2

A rather squat effort - obviously adapted to a planet with way too much gravity - this mark 1 travel machine from Davros the Baker is a fascinating combination of healthy (blueberries for hemispheres and, er, crown) and not-so-healthy (the out-of-the-packet flan base and just what is the purple sludge that they've used?) Methinks the marshmallow eye is a bit of an afterthought. Note the fleeing Thals at bottom right.

Extermicake #1

This fine example kicks things off very nicely. It gives us a first sighting of the inevitable use of Maltesers for hemispheres. A little messy round the skirting, and the use of chocolate fingers and chocolate buttons for the eye stalk and 'sink plunger' is not exactly threatening, but this has to get 8 out of 10 purely for its use of so many different off-the-shelve products - check out the recipe.
