Today I went to a country fayre and ate the most beautiful cake in the world ever.
It looked like that, only instead of being normal cupcake, it was chocolate, the icing was orange instead of pink, and the roses were dark pink and purple. I admired it for about fifteen minutes before I could convince myself to start eating it, and then made the eating part last another ten. It was wonderful. :3
So I thought we could have a thread on here about my favourite thing that's not theatre or dogs: cake!
There's also a WONDERFUL cake on the internet that was designed to look like a thoracic cavity. I advise you NOT to follow this link if you are excessively squeamish. https://www.theyrecoming.com/extras/pumpkinfest03/ The temptation is to construct one for my wedding cake, should I ever get married. It's pretty awesome.
I also once (actually, twice...) made a cake out of tomato soup. I found the recipe in a children's book around Christmas time and it was so ODD sounding that I just couldn't resist! It just tastes like a nice kind of fruit cake, but with a slightly odd red/orange colour to it. One day I'm going to get a recipe to make a cake out of courgettes; I love the idea of a courgette cake!
For new year, one of my friends made a whole platter of cakes that looked like sushi. She cut up jelly cubes for cod-roe, made prawns out of marzipan, had marshmallow omelette, little balls of green icing for wasabi, and a little dish of chocolate sauce for soy sauce. It was utterly fantastic! I'll have to see if I can find pictures somewhere.
Anyhoo. I'd better hush. But OMG cake! ^_^
