This isn’t a cake in the traditional sense of the term because it’s cooked with ground turkey breast, yams, and mashed potatoes. But Amy Wisniewski’s concoction is shaped like a cake, so you might as well serve it for dessert. You can find the recipe at the link.

Food artist Barbarann Garrard made a birthday cake inspired by the Kill Bill movies:
the bottom represents “the bride”.. the scene in which Beatrice is gunned down in the opening scene.. there is white bridal lace with blood and realistic chocolate bullets…the next teir is a Japanese pagoda.. this represents the scene toward the end in which Beatrice fights the “crazy 88′s” and O-Ren Ishii..it has the traditional rooftiles and curves and bamboo of a pagoda.. all edible …. the top is yellow with a black stripe to represent the suit Beatrice wears when she is fighting O-Ren Ishii contains an edible peice of notebook paper made of fondant with Beatirice’s “death List five” , and katana..
( which was not edible.. i thought it would make a nice keepsake) and a mask that represents the “crazy 88 “.. with a whole lotta royal icing blood splatter = )

Flying Monkey, a bakery in Philadelphia, created a cake dubbed the “pumpple”. It’s a pumpkin pie and apple pie baked between chocolate and vanilla cakes and covered with buttercream icing:
This oversize creation weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds and measures more than a foot tall. And at 1,800 calories a slice, it’s not for the faint of heart.[...]
It starts with the pies, which it par-bakes. The half-cooked pumpkin pie is dipped into chocolate cake batter and baked. The apple pie and vanilla cake get the same treatment and are baked on top of the chocolate cake. Its massive size means that it spends hours in the oven. Homemade buttercream is then — literally — the icing on the entire cake.

It looks like a slab of bacon on a cutting board, but it’s actually a cake. Food artist Debbie Goard has a flickr stream filled with her amazing work, including cakes that look just like a can of Spam, a steak, and a beer keg.

This brain cake looks terrifying, but the process to create it is pretty cool. The brain folds are simply made of frosting and the blood is only food coloring. I think a simple way to make things even more delicious would be to used a raspberry puree in place of food coloring.

Someone alert This Is Why You’re Fat, because this sexy dessert certainly will help you pack on the calories…but oh man does it look delightful. I must admit, if I were to choose the next food trend after bacon, I’d totally chose s’mores –although s’mores with maple bacon would be good even with the current food trend.
What would you guys choose for the next food trend?

If you enjoy delicious-looking cakes or ones that look adorable, this mole rat cake is not for you. If you like the occasional bizarre and unusual cake on the other hand, than you might join me in saluting this monster treat. I have to wonder if the cake inside is red velvet with raspberry filling to help make it even more disturbing.

If you wondered how people actually made some of the cakes in the Threadcakes contest, previously featured on Neatorama, then you’ll love this time-lapse video of a Threadless tee shirt being made into a cake. The process is so detailed and so fascinating.
Love iced cream cones but hate the iced cream? Then you’ll love these Cupcake cones on Instructables with plenty of instructions (naturally) to make your own sweettreats at home.
Delicious, clever, and surprising, these cupcakes impersonating ice cream cones are sure to delight!
Now that’s a quote that I can’t begin to dispute.
Ever wonder what a cake based on a Threadless tee would look like? Threadcakes is a website featuring contest entries based on just that concept. Some of the pictures are just great, like the cake above that is based on this shirt.

Cake Wrecks causes me to cringe all of the time, usually at gross spelling errors and colors that should never be used on a cake. But when one actually makes me laugh out loud, I know I have to share it with you guys.
It’s bad, right? And the one paw appears to have six digits on it. In case you don’t know what the UK logo looks like, click the link. You’ll be stunned at the similarity.
I adore this steampunk wedding cake, it’s so classy, yet it looks so delicious. I’d love to see the outfits worn at a wedding with a cake like this too.

It may not be holiday specific, but this washtub cake is adorable. I bet Ernie would love to get a rubber duckie cake for his birthday.
