Photo of the Day: Nom Nom Nom, Mojito Cake
At first I was drawn to Erin Nichols' mojito pound cake because of the way the mint leaves were embedded in the creamy frosting (besides that it looks like something I want in my mouth right now), but then I liked it even more when I realized that it kind of resembled a Pac-Man about to devour a slice of cake. Go to Erin's blog, Erin Cooks, to try the recipe, originally from CakeLove: How to Bake Cakes from Scratch by Warren Brown.

Brass knuckles don't seem like the right topic for Serious Eats. But cupcake knuckles? Yes, please. There's not enough cupcake tats out there on otherwise bland fingers, which is why we love this framed cross-stitch, available on Etsy by seller citydown. She is the same woman responsible for stitching another embroidered essential which displays the wise proverb: Cake is the New Black. [via Craftzine]...What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
In celebration of its 30th birthday a few weeks ago Ben & Jerry's released Cake Batter ice cream. The flavor, which is a mixture of vanilla ice cream, yellow cake batter, and chocolate frosting, joins the ranks of more than 200 others the company has produced over the past three decades. From the simple to the sensational, there's no denying that Ben & Jerry's makes some great scoops. But I must admit, while I love ice cream, cake, and ice cream cake, I'm not a fan of cake ice cream. Are you?Maryland's Official Dessert Could Be the Smith Island Cake
"Florida has the key lime pie, Massachusetts has the Boston cream pie and, hopefully, Maryland will have the Smith Island Cake": The iconic multi-layered cake made of flour, butter, eggs and chocolate could soon become Maryland's official dessert. Originally brought over by the settlers who came to Smith Island in the 17th century, the cake originally consisted of four layers but has gradually grown in size to around eight or 10 layers, with filling variations depending on who you got your recipe from. The Maryland Senate voted 44-1 in favor of the cake – all that's left now is approval from the House... [photo via On the Record]...Photo of the Day: Vanilla Bean Chiffon Cake
Because I like bringing the food porn to you, here's Mandy's vanilla bean chiffon cake with lemon buttercream. Those rings of lil' frosting plops and blueberries may not be anything fancy, but they add a lot of eye candy (and make me hungry). Learn how to make this cake at Mandy's blog, Fresh From the Oven.

It seems that there is a lot of curiosity and/or confusion about red velvet cake and its origins. Though, as far I know, nobody has managed to verify the cake’s exact genesis, here is what I have pieced together from my own observations and research.Photo of the Day: Chocolate Cake Balls
Bakerella made these beautiful chocolate cake balls, or "cakesicles," by mixing together crumbled chocolate cake and frosting, rolling the mixture into little balls, popping them onto sticks, and dipping them in melted candy. Why are foods more fun when you eat them off a stick?...Photo of the Day: Homer Cake
Travis's Homer cake contains the three crucial Homer components: Duff beer, a sprinkled donut, and the pièce de résistance—a trickle of drool. I think Homer would approve of such craftsmanship...and then proceed to shovel the cake down his throat in five seconds....Cuatro Leches Cake
Kitty Crider of the Austin American-Statesman recently interviewed pastry chef Dunia Borga, known in Dallas for her Cuatro Leches cake—a twist on the traditional tres leches (three milks) cake—that "begins with a vanilla sponge cake, coarser than American butter cakes but strong enough to hold up to the sauce of three milks poured over it. Then it is covered with a caramelized Swiss meringue and dotted with the arequipe [dulce de leche, or caramel sauce]." Still not sold? Sarah Phillips of Baking911 sampled Borga's cake at her restaurant La Duni a few years ago and says, "It beats any tres leches cake on the planet, and I have eaten a lot of them! I was interested in the recipe because...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
