Cake makes everything better

I’ve been pretty down in the dumps lately. We’ve had a ridiculous amount of rain in our area of the country for the month of June (and even heavier rainfall for the first two days of July). It’s left me to do very little riding this month and with all around feeling of ennui.

Finding inspiring things to post about has been downright impossible when all I want to do is sack out on the sofa and watch crime shows all day long. Then it occurred to me. Cake. Cake would make me happy.

With recent television shows like Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss, the mainstream populace has been exposed to the possibilities of incredibly designed and executed confectionery delights. And it’s shows like this that make everyone realize they don’t have to settle on a boring sheet cake with over-sugary flowers to mark a special occasion. More and more people are feeling the creativity when it comes to their birthday | wedding | groom’s cakes.

I recently found some awesome example of cake artistry when I came across these Star Trek cakes and this Nightmare Before Christmas cake, which got me wondering if I could find some good examples of motorcycle cakes.

And so I say, these cakes give a new meaning to “Eat my dust!” (**groan**)

    Creepily awesome!!

  2. I’ve always thought that ICE CREAM makes everything better! Those are some amazing confections regardless. I hope the weather improves soon, so you can get out here and get some much needed ride therapy.

      Mrs. RC: yes, I guess between the two I would choose ice cream over cake, but then I wouldn’t have the hook I needed for this post! :)

      And it looks as if today the weather is FINALLY breaking!! Yay!

  3. Hey Lizzie…I feel your pain my friend. It rains here almost every weekend…either that or it’s so windy that wind therapy is an understatement. Hope you can get out soon.

    Cool cakes! Did you make yourself a cake to get over the blues? My favorite blues fighter is white cake cupcakes with pink frosting. That’s really the only time I like the color Pink. lol

    Thye only prob with some of those cakes is that you really don’t want to cut into them. But it’s cake, so you really want a slice.

    My hubby and I had a cool biker cake at our wedding – a sheet cake with roads and bikes here and there along the roads – really cool. We also had Matchbox Harleys for wedding favors! I feel your pain about riding since I’m also in Mass – finally got out this weekend and my poor Low Rider did not want to start! KK
