This is a cake shaped like a crab. Get it?
This awesome-looking Bat cake was made by an obviously talented baker/cake decorator in Italy, but I couldn’t find the recipe or decorating instructions anywhere on the interwebs. So if you are feeling ambitious and want to make this cake for Halloween, you will have to “wing’’ it.
A deviantART user going by the name “estranged-illusions” made this wedding cake modeled after The Beatles 1968 animated movie Yellow Submarine. I wish they would create more cakes as cool as this one on all of the cake making competition shows I am always watching on The Food Network.
The cake is described as Vanilla strawberry cake with strawberry filling, white buttercream and marshmallow fondant. The figures are all color flow (a type of icing), with the exception of the submarine topper with the bride and groom on top. The topper is made from a polymer clay called Sculpey, so that the couple could have a keepsake. I’m sure you’ll agree that while it sounds very tasty, it is almost too beautiful to cut!
Thanks to Neatorama for the Tip!
“I Now Pronounce You Alien and Host”
A half a dozen years after Swiss surrealist HR Giger designed the cover art for Emerson Lake & Palmer’s 1973 prog rock opus, Brain Salad Surgery, he increased his profile greatly with a little gig designing the title creatures for a sci-fi flick called Alien. Now, the chest-burster Aliens from that film’s pivotal early scene meet delicious pastry in the form of the HR Giger-inspired Wedding Cake. The picture above really says it all: a brilliant creation, and it’s probably delicious as well!
