Can your zombie game get patented if so how do you do this?
You can't usually patent pure software such as games, but they are automatically covered by copyright in any country that signed the Bern Convention (most Western countries). If you really want to try and patent it though, try submitting your patent proposal to the US Patent and Trademarks Office, as they seem to let practically anything have a patent.
Are patent drawings public domain?
No, they're not "public domain" until the copyright of the author expires. Just because they were sent to the patent office and issued as a patent does not changed the copyright ownership or duration. However, an author of a patent application has, by statute, granted a limited right to others to reproduce the patent. Most of the rules in the US Patent Office regarding copyright notice have not been subject to comprehensive update since the 1988 laws were changed to repeal the need to have a proper copyright notice on a publication in the USA if it was to have copyright protection. Copyright of any creative work of authorship is now free, instantaneous and automatic, whether or not the copyright owner knows it or wants to enforce it, without requiring any copyright notice, nor any registration.
Do you have to patent a cartoon?

How do you patent or copyright a bakery creation?
To qualify for a patent, it would need to be innovative and non-obvious, and the patent application process might be more elaborate and expensive than you would like. Copyright might protect designs, say a pattern of intricate piping, but more as a piece of art than a piece of food. You may find that trademark is the most appropriate direction to go in. There are any number of registered baked goods in the world.
