We love cake pics here...we mark the passage of time with cakes.
My favorite cake pic is one of my Dad & myself laughing at the "yule log" cake I made for christmas about 10 years ago. It's this awesome-looking yule log with marzipan mushrooms and candy mint leaves and sculpted chocolate "bark"...but you see, I had NO idea how to do a proper cake roll. When I went to roll it, it just kept breaking. I ended up stacking the whole mess, fusing it together with jelly, mashing it into a rough log shape with my hands, freezing it so I could cover it with frosting, & then not telling anyone. Except I HAD to tell my Dad 'cause he kept saying how incredible it looked & what a good job I'd done...& we captured that moment of hilarious confession "The cake is a sham. The cake is structurally unsound if it thaws. Take the picture QUICK!"
