Oct 15 2009But I Wanted Braaains!: A Skull Cake Gallery
Because there's no better way to celebrate something than with a bitchin' skull cake, this is a little gallery of bitchin' skull cakes. I've decided I want a giant one for my next birthday. Except I want it to be on fire. And I want the Rockettes to leap out of that shit and kick-line me right in the face. Every last one of them, right in the face. And you know what I'll do? Spit out my teeth and smile. Hardcore, HARDCORE!
Hit the jump for the rest.
More skull cakes [growingbelly]
Thanks to joseph, who likes a little a little vertebrae with his skull. Gross.

#3 and 4 are mexican inspired. During the equivalent of Halloween over in Mexico, one of the things we eat is sugar skulls of different sizes. Kids also ask for adults to put money on skull or pumpkin-shaped little containers instead of the american custom of asking for candy. The money asking is also not constrained to the one day, so you can beg for money for around a week. But it's definitely NOT like a moving carnival (at least I never saw one) like they showed in Beverly Hills Chihuahua; that was just for cinematic effect. Ooooh, I forgot about pan de muerto, or "dead's bread" as literally translated, which is sweet and fluffy although more heavy than sourdough on the inside, has a thick crust and is sprinkled with sugar on top, and it's made in the shape of a ball with a smaller ball on the top and sticks in the shape of an X to symbolize bones. Sooo yummy.

And I'm lucky 17, and whattttttt?
The icing used on those cakes is called fondent, which is a moldable cake icing...It's used on Ace of Cakes all the time.
...what...you guys don't get baked and watch that at 2 am. don't lie.
