Sometimes people send me funny things. Like Craig's sister, Kristen. She sent me a picture of this cake she and her friends made for Easter featuring Jesus.
Kristen writes: "Here is Jesus standing next to his tomb. It looks like one of his arms is buried in the rock, but it's not...he only has one arm! He's a one-armed Jesus. He was the last Jesus left in the store and Amy got a discount on him. That small blob of cake next to the big blob is supposed to be the boulder which Jesus rolled back in order to escape his tomb."
A few months earlier, Leah of Pink Leahtard sent me a link to her iPod cake which isn't so much funny as impressive:
Have you made a funny cake recently? Post it to Flickr and link to it in the comments. Just not the kitty litter one, thank you.

Life in Paris: photos, stories, recipes. Found it when I was searching for a recipe for a ham/potato/cheese dish (tartiflette) that was in the travel section of the NYT.
Found http://lisetteparis.reallifelog.com/ interesting.

All right, so it's not a CAKE, per se . . . it's cupcakes. Turkey cupcakes, for Thanksgiving (not all of us like pumpkin pie!).
The candy corns were a little tough to find after Halloween, but are imperative for both the feathers and beaks. The body is a mini Charleston Chew, and the wattle is red frosting. These were a big hit . . . tasty AND adorable!

If Jesus had rolled back the rock with one arm, I might have to become a believer.

About ten years ago, I made a cake for a friend who writes for MAD Magazine. I used those little tubes of colored icing that they have in the baking aisle of the supermarket to decorate it with a picture of Alfred E. Neuman. It was a fine likeness indeed, if I do say so myself! I'll try to dig out a photo.

The iPod cake is amazing. It's the ear buds that make it perfect.

In January I made a meatcake for the spouse's birthday:

(yes, those are bacon roses)...
Last weekend I made a set of 'cheese' cakes: Spice Cake (chipotle cheese inside) and Italian Cream Cake (sundried tomato and pesto cream cheese layers inside)

And a 'rustic apple tart' concealing a wheel of brie. Lousy pic of it, though:

I meant to post this for the blue food project, but was too disorganized. I'm late posting it now -- but better late than never.
