ROBERT SCHNECK: Serve With Eel Pie

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.

  1. 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.
