I give you, the [thorax cake](http://www.theyrecoming.com/extras/pumpkinfest03/index.php) and the [zombie cake.](http://www.theyrecoming.com/extras/zombiefest/) I must admire the talent and creativity that went into such creations, but my goodness! :eek: ---

I am truly in awe of anyone who takes the time to design a cake that looks like a litterbox, complete with cat turds. :eek: Robin ---

I’ve been considering making some sort of novelty cake for a co-worker’s baby shower in a few months. MY idea was to make it look like a partially opened diaper with some smears of chocolate inside. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? ---

It seems to me that it would be more fun to make a cake that appearead outwardly normal, but revealed pulsing, oozing organs when cut. Or, spewed forth a pastry chestburster as somebody leaned forward to blow out the candles. ---
