Fanfare! Double fanfare in one! My first official sponsor. And...official endorsement!

Perhaps, but I just don't have the volume of images to play with (nor the talent of some of those folks out there who do cakes for a living!) Nor do I work in fondant frosting (because it's not vegetarian, and I haven't perfected a vegetarian substitute), which is what those spectacular cakes use.

My cake acumen just went up a notch.

And if it's cake wars you want, @Jason Byrne, I can't compete--I'll only post my own--but how about this?

I don't bake 'em.

I just Google 'em.

And that is the coolest cake in the history of ever. I love the pineapple eyes!!

EDIT: Are those real mushrooms?!

No, the mushrooms are meringue--the cake was for a joint birthday party (my kids' birthdays are only 12 days apart). Spice cake owl for my son, chocolate "buche de noel" for my daughter, and token mushrooms for my husband (who is a mycorrhizal ecologist, and who loves meringues).
