"Who Wants a Flower? Who Wants a Slice of Face?"

Let's revisit the image I swiped to illustrate the previous post.

I mean, on one hand it's a rather accurate, if license-violating, reproduction of an iconic but in my mind still weird Anne Geddes photo. You have to admire the cake-decorating skills of someone who can create such confectionery concoctions.

On the other hand...it's a cake. With a baby. Not some abstract or cartoon scrawl of a baby face with a thin icing pen, but a realistic-looking BABY. Granted, the baby's limbs are missing; perhaps they contracted inside its body, like a turtle.

But someone has to cut that cake — carve into that sleeping infant — and distribute its pieces to a ravenous crowd. Maybe you'll get some nose and upper lip, or you'll be lucky enough to get the sleeping eyes, or that cute chin on your paper plate!

The creator notes:

The sign in the back says "with butterfly kisses and a ladybug hug, sleep tight little one like a bug in a rug."

Sleep tight, like a bug in a rug, so you won't see the wife with the knife!

She adds that the cake was "a hit" at a friend's baby shower, and I'll assume that the cake was served over a pentagram before the other sacrifices took place!
