Well, all of our childhood birthday parties just became infinitely lamer.

hat's because one geeky—and dedicated—Dad has constructed not just the world's greatest Transformers cake, but possibly the world's greatest birthday cake, period. The crazy confection, which takes the shape of Transformer Optimus Prime, starts off as a typical semi truck. But with the press of button, the cake actually transforms into the warrior robot. It's like watching the Transformers movies, but--y'know--way better.

Obviously, there's more than meets the eye with this baked behemoth. But the process was actually fairly simple. The father, Russell Monroe, first constructed the cake's mechanical transforming parts with a 3D printer. He then baked the cake around his construct, using the 3D printing as a foundation. You can see how he pulled it off below.

One thing's for certain. Monroe is definitely getting an invite to our next birthday party.
