Gypsies, Cakes & Things

Have you ever done a friend's daughter's wedding cake? I have.
This friend just told me about a blog that is all about professional cake disasters. I am not reading into this... I am sure it is not a commentary on my work.

If you've ever made a Barbie cake or it is in your future, you should check out this blog. And plan on making some cupcakes for the candles. Wish someone had warned me.

Now I would never judge a grocery store bakery's neon color-vomit swirl-pull-apart globby mess. Those people have mad frosting skills. And they work fast. But less is more, people.

Unless you are making a haunted graveyard out of marzipan.
But I digress.

Cake Wrecks has a few good cakes, too. And a really cool clip of claymation action (how do they get the marching knee bumps?) set to Noi Siamo Zingarelle (We Are Gypsies) from La Traviata. Opera in play-dough. And cake. What's not to love?

I haven't figured out how to add the video directly, so here is the link.
