Piece of Cake!
 

Cake Horrors

:D

OK, I don't even really LIKE cake all that much.....but my birthday is April 9 and i want THIS:


Or THIS:



Or, even these:



OMG they are so f-ing CUTE!

I saw some similarly kawaii cakes in a keki store in Ginza back in February.

NA, did you see the "Hairy Birthday, Lisa" cake in the original post?

Ewwwwww I wouldn't eat that birthday cake even if GusGus made it (and her cakes are GOOD!)

Nope, give me kawaii!

I'm not a fan of cake, either (actually I am a fan of cake but people are constantly ruining them by slathering in disgusting frosting) but those are nice to look at even if I'm guessing they'd taste awful with thick coasts of frosting. I think the Japanese bakery a couple blocks from here do fancy cakes like that (and possibly the Ranch 99 bakery).

A recent purchase reminds me of how much I love Carvel Ice Cream Cake. Let them eat ice cream cake, I say!

Those Japanese cakes are darling, and may not be too sweet, if compared to other Japanese pastries I've eaten.

This one is hotter than the real Tom Selleck!

Awesome.

I'd guess they're spongecake which is indeed good. The frosting are still generally not good (to me anyway).

That seriously looks like someone ate the original cake, threw it up, and then decorated it.

I knew this was about the cakewrecks blog just from the thread title. :D

OMG! Let's have a Fondant Molding Party!!!! So CUTE!

Totally!

If the consistency is anything like Sculpey, I could make all sorts of stuff!

I'm obsessed with fondant molding. I haven't done any yet, but I've been researching it. I was thinking of doing fondant-decorated cookie-pops as bows for the family packages... but I think I'm going to run out of time, alas.

If we mold of the sugar goo, count me in!

Here's a nice ladybug cake:

I won't promise anything until after the first of the year, but i think it would be a blast.

I hate fondant

There's a bakery near work that sells these amazing brownie things with chocolate fondant. Every time I buy one I spend the first 10 minutes back at my desk carefully peeling off the fondant and throwing it away.

This one cracks me up, especially paired with her commentary:

The letters look like the machine-made type.
