Fans who were let down by the endings of Mass Effect 3 having no real differences to them are giving Bioware a surprising gift, a large amount of delicious cupcakes of different colors. The subtle trolling is that they all taste the exact same, just different colors.
Someone named Sam started a scheme to send 402 cupcakes to Bioware Studios in Canada, and raised the $1000 needed in an hour. The bakery owner lucky enough to get the order, Dale Temple, said that he had done orders of that size before, but not with these kinds of reasons.
The multiple colors of cupcakes are a glaring reference to how you could choose your own path in Mass Effect, but the fact they all taste the same is a subtle jab at them pointing out their opinion of the endings to the game. Proposed messages to deliver with the box of cupcakes include “No matter what color you choose, they all taste the same”, “No matter what color you choose, it’s all vanilla” and “We rage because we love”.
A lot more creative than people simply flipping out and being angry and upset at the ending. Even though I myself feel the ending is a let down, the fan reaction is honestly an overreaction and gives gamers a really bad name.

I think this is awesome and clever.
