O.O
To whoever made those baby cakes, especially the last one:
Yeah, Iām thinking great artistry but so wrong.
We had already established that there are some really tacky and downright gross cake designs when it comes to baby showers.
But thanks for needlessly illustrating that some people do have truly questionable taste levels.
I like the hyper-realistic baby ones. Itās like Ron Mueck opened a bakery.
The following delicious wedding cake gives me an idea:
A Croquet Bush Croquembouche made from scotch eggs or party pies. Make it happen, internet!
Ohhhhh god, somebody had to post thoseāthanks for coming through!
I also love the many cakes that are just boobs and pregnant belly, often with the impression of a kicking baby foot. Like, congratulations, this is all you are now!
I did not think I knew who Ron Mueck was until I googled. Oh yeah! That guy
Made by my daughter last weekend:
Long and stupid story about why the cherries werenāt baked in with the pineapple. Didnāt really affect the taste, fortunately.
Chocolate by Death. Thatās what Iām calling it, anyways. [source: The Necro-Nom-Nom-Nomicon]
That nameās fricking awesome.
I wonder how much Red 40 is in that. (Iām not a fan, I can usually taste the food coloring over everything else in the cake.)
But itās wicked cool, nevertheless.
I still wonder about the fondant ratio of some of these artsy-designy cakes. Iāve never had fondant and from what Iāve heard from friends who have, it doesnāt sound like Iāve been missing out.
Marzipan, on the other hand, would be a noble robe for just about any kind of cake.
As Iāve got all the ingredients to hand and the technique looks fun, I thought Iād make leopard-print bread today. Giggity.
Thatās extremely dependent on the source.
Iāve had marzipan in Belgium and France that was quite wonderful, and looked just like the object it was meant to look like.
On the other hand, Iāve had āmarzipanā in America that wasā¦ well, a ānoble robeā definitely wouldnāt be my description. Cloyingly sweet, offā¦ bleh.
That too; I like fondant, but not in huge amounts.
Agreed.
The commercial Marzipan Iāve had here in the states was awful.
