Whoever said that you can’t have your cake and play it too? On Reddit, user Connor2451 shared a birthday surprise waiting for him. In celebration of his 16th birthday, Connor’s mother decorated a square 16×16 cake into what is undoubtedly his console of choice: the Xbox One.

The cake is a hit on Reddit. Many gamers have shared their love of the cake and its baker, even sharing their own their own antics. “Leaked photos of the Scorpio” one teased as another pointed out that the cake posing as an Xbox is, indeed, a lie.

Others commenters have even come out sharing similar experiences with their own Xbox cake mishaps and successes. Here are a couple of shared images:

“Nice one I got one from my mom too… Except… For my 32th birthday”

“Awesome! This was my Groom’s cake back in the day.”

Even Xbox personality Major Nelson a.k.a. Larry Hryb chimed in. “What a great mom you have!” he expressed in the comments.

All in all, it’s cool to see such delicious ways to celebrate Xbox gaming. Happy birthday, Connor 2451, and may there be a Project Scorpio cake in your future!
