Cakes, like dogs, are inherently good. They can be square or cylindrical, chocolate, coconut, or banana, with icing that's flawlessly applied or slapped on with a trowel; it doesn't matter... it's cake.Bakers that emphasize appearance should be regarded with suspicion, yet how easy it is to be seduced by craftsmanship.
In short, take a look at this cake by Karen Portaleo of the Highland Bakery at Atlanta, Georgia.















In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

It would be ALMOST a pity to cut or bite into that work of art.
As Corrina seems to like baking, I think she should bake and decorate a big cake, similar to this, perhaps in the form of a 'Mongolian Death Worm', a 'Thylacine', or 'Yeti', to be shared up in commemoration of this years 12th anniversary of the Weird Weekend.
