You tell me!

[f you want to spoil the surprise, here's the answer, but I want to see how many different answers people come up with first.]

Wow didn't think it was that! My first thought was the flan I used to get at St. Germain Bakery (Honolulu) - well, a little off color...

I seriously can't believe I guessed right! The pooling near the plastic doodad and the little bubble made me think it was, but I figured surely I was wrong and it was going to be something sweet :-)

some sort of fondit-coated treat?

I was thinking jelly donut--and now I'm going to check to see what it actually is.

i was guessing a candied apple

i thought it was a cupcake

OK, based on the pink plastic thing, I'm going with Dunkin Donuts? Is it a Halloween doughnut with a Baskin Robins spoon thingy in it??

I was so wrong! LOL!

donut was my only guess, boy was I wrong!

a rare cheeseburger?

I'm with oishi. Cheeseburger.

My first thought was a cheesecake lollipop covered in icing. Boy, was I wrong!

The "shape" and the type of sheen it has on the bottom right corner made me think "cheeseburger"

First I thought sweet, but the little stick looks like the the thing they put in your meat to indicate donness. So I'm going with cheeseburger, like a few others.

looks like some sort of really wide Popsicle...but the texture is off. In fact, the whole image looks either 1) out of focus or 2) over-enlarged digitally. My guess is 2, as the whole thing seems to have that grainy quality to it.

Maple jelly donut?

Never wooda guessed

cheeseburger, kind of on the rare side

A flan?

Oh. Drat.

@sarandi: I didn't enlarge it by much; I just got really close to it. But I did use a high ISO.

I'm all about the rare cheeseburger

Interesting and fun visual riddle BUT IT IS PHOTOSHOPPED. The tiny puddle of burger juice and its highlight - Bogus. Also the pink stake is probably faked in because there is no physical pulling down on the cheese at the piercing edge. I still like it though.

It looks like orange sherbet to me. With a pink icecream spoon?
Now I'll go see how wrong I am.

@Phoodie: Uh...it's definitely not photoshopped. I wouldn't put in the effort to do that.

That damn pin plastic thing makes everyone think sweet.

it is either a rare or medium cheeseburger. I think the pink may denote the level of rareness, so I'll go with rare. The slight pool of yummy pink juice peeking out from the pink stick kind of gives it away. That is definitely is a dressed burger bun off to the side.

Is it a toffee apple?

Caramel flan.

strawberry filled potato??

I was thinking donut, too. Fail.

cheeseburger?

A spoon stuck into a raspberry-filled, maple-iced doughnut, which, if you ponder on it too long, will make you hurl.

Mango Sorbet....or maybe a gelato...with a little plastic sppon

Cheeseburger, of course! YUMMMMM

Cheeseburger with a stick marker for Doneness(WORD?)

Cheeseburger, with the top bun off (obviously) and a little plastic thingy telling you how it's cooked. From the looks of the juice poking out of the hole, I'm thinking it's cooked medium to medium-rare.

I think it's a cheeseburger with the bun sitting to the side

Cheeseburger sans bun?

Jelly Donut on a stick?

cheeseburger
