cake

Sure Valentine's Day isn't for a few more months. That doesn't mean you can't put a little love into your food all year round.

When I was a wee tot I had a Woodstock Christmas tree ornament. My brother had Snoopy and my sister had... the girl Snoopy. What was her name? Oh that's right, Belle! Thanks Google! Anyway, I always knew that despite species, Woodstock was always top dog. This cake proves it.

Oh cakey bear, you make red bean pudding so enticing. If that bowl were bigger I'd take a dip with you but as it is I think I'm gonna have to nom you.

This armadillo doesn't look like he feels so well to feel honest. I guess in that regard there's no reason to feel to bad about eating him. He's a goner anyway right? At least this one won't spread leprosy?

Yeah but can I soak it in vodka for a BBQ?

If you had told me ten years ago that I'd be able to inject an entire portion of strawberry shortcake into my mouth all at once without getting my hands dirty, I would have thought you were crazy. The future is now.

Strawberry cream cheese frosting are the magic words here. I don't even care if there is any cake under there. I'll be happy with a giant lump of strawberry cream cheese frosting.

I don't know whether to eat it or put it in a museum for all the world to enjoy. And yes, the sparkler is absolutely necessary.

Minnie's proportions are all off but the important bits are there: ears, bow, big eyes, lashes, suspenders, full skirt, cute heels. Overall I'd qualify this as a success!

I need to sit down. I need to breathe calmly into this bag to keep from fainting because this is possibly the most perfect cake I have ever seen and I've been looking at cakes for a long while, my friends. I marvel at the gradient pinks, the delicate layers, the thin filling that doesn't interrupt the gorgeous color. And the little paper banner on top! Perfection! I can die happy now, thanks!

Planning a picnic on the back nine? Don't let any other golfers confuse your cake with a real green!

Hey bird! Why are you sleeping on my cake? I mean, you coordinate with it quite well and all but this isn't a nest, it's a dessert! You can't sleep here, you just can't. You're welcome to come to the party, just stay off the food okay?

Pink! Pinky pinky pinkness! Wow is that a pink cake! Is there anything inside the castle door? a staircase of chocolate bars and marshmallows perhaps? Diego? Such pink mysteries!

I'd like to see a crew of fashion designers work with a bunch of pastry chefs to design amazing desserts. We could mash up Project Runway and one of those Top Chef whatevers and make a kajillion dollars! I could see this as Betsy Johnson's entry for a super simple petit fours.

Careful, this might make your phone a little too delicious.
