Disclaimer: Not all fangirls are the same, some lady fans don't even like the term "fangirl." Now that we've got that out of the way, watch this, it's adorable.

You might recognize Nerdache Cakes as the the young woman whose confectionary treats we feature here frequently, from an incredible birthday cake based on Gurihiru's Baby Avengers, a set of Gotham City character cookies, to an entire cake based on one piece Avengers fanart drawn by Adventure Time's Natasha Allegri.

I'm sure it will completely fix the "fake geek girl" "problem" forever. In the meantime...
