Funny Cakes

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.

Dont have a cake but thought I’d post a link to one of the best food blogs I have read:http://kitchen-notebook.blogspot.com/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!http://www.flickr.com/photos/8067594@N05/481810452/

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

In January I made a meatcake for the spouse’s birthday:http://flickr.com/photos/paracoon/356214920/(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)http://flickr.com/photos/paracoon/477846876/And a ‘rustic apple tart’ concealing a wheel of brie. Lousy pic of it, though:http://flickr.com/photos/paracoon/477846884/in/photostream/

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

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.
