Lemon pie, layer cake and a bagel: Google mocks home detectives with hidden clues in Android L

We had a chance to try out **Google's new vision for Android over the weekend** and one thing that caught our eye was there were a bunch of clues for Android L’s name in the typical Google easter egg packed into the OS.   Ever since the early days of Android, hitting the version number in the About Phone screen has been throwing up easter eggs related to the specific version. For example, it had a Gingerbread Android in a zombie artwork Android 2.3 Gingerbread and a KitKat-style Android in the last version.   This time around we have Webdriver Torso videos that Google had silently uploaded to YouTube recently. The videos show random squares and rectangles intersecting on screen to form right angles, which could be seen as a nod to the L shape. Long-pressing the constantly changing combination of shapes throws you into the same dessert rack that first showed up with KitKat. Here the colours are less fluorescent than in KitKat and we spotted a few new desserts that Google has thrown in just to **mock you Android L detectives.**   [caption id=“attachment_224340” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![motoe2](http://tech.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/motoe2.jpg) Android KitKat’s easter egg[/caption]   We spotted what looked like a Layer Cake and what was quite clearly a Lemon Pie (Meringue or not is a hot newsroom debate). Another image showed some kind of a custard or pudding with (what we guess is) caramel dripping down, and another showed what looks like a bagel with a slice of cheese, which is not any kind of dessert we’ve had before. If we were to really think for an L connection, we come up with bagel and lox. Once again, that’s no dessert.   So it looks like Google is simply trolling all home detectives, or keeping its options open. See any weird desserts yourself? Let us know.
