Jan 11 2010Sweet (Literally!): Van Gogh Starry Night Cake
The great thing about making a Van Gogh cake is you don't have to be particularly skilled in the art of cake-decorating. Kidding, that shit looks impossible. Impossibly delicious. I call a star piece! Mmmm -- there's no ear in this, right?
Fan of Van Gogh? [forgetfoo]
Thanks to Christian, who once found a Band-Aid in an eclair.

@Reidly - indeed. I guess Van Gogh Starry Haystack Lilly Cake (guessing on the water lillies) didn't sound as good.

That looks like some weird alien humanoid form

@Reidly
@James
Only the top is Van Gogh, the bottom two are Monet.

i worked at the bakery where this cake was displayed! it's called Susie Cakes on san vicente in brentwood. and not to bum anybody out, but while it's real frosting, the "cake" is styrofoam. every couple of weeks they scrape it off and do something new to show off the decorators' talents.

I once saw this painting while eating chocolate cake. The museum police didn't really like this but the cake was great!

I have a cupcake book where they have done that but in smaller more eatable sizes.

I love it! I am a novice cake decorator and I want to try it! Great job!
