A short video has gone viral on Twitter from user Sugar High Score. The 14-second video has received nearly 100,000 views since being posted earlier today. It shows Sugar High Score cutting into a crewmate cake from Among Us, and it looks both visually stunning and delicious.

The pure talent is on display on this cake, and even the official Among Us Twitter handle commented on the post in disbelief. It almost looks too good to eat. In fact, the caption of the tweet reads “almost too cute to cut,” and other than Among Us being recreated in Unreal Engine, the crewmembers have never looked so real. As a nice bonus to the overall design of the cake, a pet is also sitting on top, which is often where it is seen in-game.
Along with the quick clip, a full video that shows how the cake was made is also available to view on YouTube, where fellow YouTuber Corpse Husband has ridden the Among Us train to 5 million subscribers. Combining a very popular entity with creativity and talent is a good recipe for success for content creators to become internet celebrities.
Fans have been creative with Among Us ever since the game blew up over the summer. Recently someone recreated Among Us on the Game Boy, which, along with the Among Us crewmember cake, is simply another example of both the reach of the game and how creative the community can be.
The popularity of Among Us is astounding. It is hard to believe that a game that was launched with little fanfare in 2018 suddenly became one of the most beloved mobile and PC games of 2020 in a matter of months over the summer and into the fall. Although it is loved by so many now, it would have seemed impossible for Among Us to be played by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (United States Congresswoman), be rebuilt in Unreal Engine, reimagined on the Game Boy, and made into a cake after the start the game had. But gaming is better when the community enjoys a game together.
Among Us is available for Mobile and PC.
