Love/Hate: Cake or sculpture?

Today’s post is officially our 100th post, so I thought we’d celebrate with some cake.

When I was younger, my mum used to make the most amazing birthday cakes. I’m taking jewellery boxes, giant chocolate bars, castles and a rather camp pink sports car once for my brother (a little mix-up with the red food dye, I believe).

However, one craze that I haven’t really managed to comprehend is the whole making-cakes-look-like-other-food thing. Why would you want a cake that looks like a hamburger anyway?

Here are some crazy cake designs, some that I love and some that I don’t but all pretty amazing. Let me know what you think, do you think cake should look like cake or do you like these whimsical twists?
