things that look like things

this is a pretty interesting idea, i'll forgive that it isn't frosted.

that works

cake + cadburry creme eggs shoved in = easter cake


cupcakes + peeps shoved in = easter cupcakes

anywhoo...

okay that was fun, but just around the corner is a holiday centered around sweets and i can just feel it in my bones that we're going to get some ugly and unappetizing cakes before this easter sunday. get inspired! here are a few to start us out.


burn victim

its all in the horrible, crazy detail

So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

one last one for the day

maybe

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

and happy birthday katie! here's the official "cake" of the day sort of, irish soda bread.

I'll post pictures next week of my personal soda bread efforts to come. I love the B.D.

King Cake

These are usually associated with the fun that is Mardi Gras, but what the hey. It looks like it has the icing like those 2 for 1$ Honey Buns that have that layer of gel icing that comes off in a sheet. love those.

shiny sprinkles

i'm friggin starving and i think that's why these look pretty orgasmic right about now. they've got that genuine homemade feel to them. i would house that plate in less than 10. with no milk.

obviously

kind of annoyed i didn't think of this.

a st. patrick's day wedding - WICKED GOOD IDEA. addie, you're all over that one.

101th post!

wicked awesome. i'm also psyched that someone thought it was a cute idea to eat a leprechauns head.

my skills

about 3 or 4 even? years ago i made this sheet cake for my friend katie, an irish girl whos birthday is st patricks day. it looked pretty cool from a distance, but if you get close enough you can see that it was sort of an ugly sheet cake. i made it before i knew the rule about 2 coats of icing, so its kinda crumby and i didn't have enough decorative icing so its kind of sparse around the borders. i made four heart shaped cakes and carved the stem out of one of them. katie loved it and it was a big hit.

isn't flavor what really matters?
