Let Them Eat Cake!

Seriously, I LOVE cake... I love all sweet treats. Say what you want about fat kids and Italians but really, cake comes in so many magnificent forms that there has got to be a cake for everyone out there.


I am not normally a TV junkie but the more pregnant I become, the less active I find myself. With six weeks to go, I have been doing a lot of couch surfing. This weekend I must have watched 20 episodes of Cake Boss. The reality cake show based in Hobokin, New Jersey.


These people are cake experts and besides creating some of the most elaborate works of art I have ever seen using cake as a medium, their recipes are unique.


My favorite from the Tulips, Taxes and Take it Easy episode... The Brown Derby!

This cake is made as follows... Fresh strawberries and bananas, and succulent peach slices fill this delicious two-layer chocolate cake. It's adorned with vanilla whipped topping, chocolate cake crumbs, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a dramatic finish.

But the above picture is not the Cake Boss' creation. He actually made a life size Accountant Cake!

One of the coolest cakes I saw yesterday was the Flower Show cake, from the same episode. This cake was to be showcased with several varieties of flowers, all made from sugar!

I want some CAKE!!
