Photo of the Day: President-Elect Barack Obama in 1,240 Cupcakes
Photograph from shastio on Flickr
There are a lot of Barack Obama–themed baked goods out there, but a picture of Obama made from 1,240 cupcakes is a whole other level of Obama food art. Zilly Rosen of Zillycakes in Buffalo, New York, made this cupcake mosaic yesterday to show her support; I hope that it was eaten today in honor of our next president. [via Cupcake Takes the Cake]

How unappetizing!
Sorry have to remove you from my favorites now. I don't wish to see politics everywhere.

I suppose my original comment wasn't accepted so I'll just say how unappetizing

I live in the Buffalo area and didn't see this on our local news,- oh yeah maybe because I watched movies and avoided all the politics on TV.

@joan - it was in the Buffalo News this morning. Check out Buffalo Rising online too...they had a piece on it as well.

i really woulda loved to see some red in there - just for more giggles. i did laugh out loud at this and believe that it's NOT politics but hey, a president-elect in CUPCAKES might push some buttons, i guess. Given that it's the biggest news lately, I think it transcends "politics" to create a goofy image in food.
Cupcakes you can believe in?
