Go to Paul Robertson's Livejournal for the full rainbow-spewing animated gif. (Warning: illustration of dogs and cats is SWF, but rest of artist's livejournal is NSWF.) I don't get it, but I like it anyway....

Photograph from ginnerobot on Flickr A recent article in The Telegraph claims that cake baking is cool again, likening it to rock 'n roll. I didn't know it ever wasn't. I suppose this is saying that passions for baking and cakes are no longer restricted to fuddy-duddy spinsters, but now are cool for the masses. Hopefully this means more cake for me.

Photograph from Baking Bites There's cake made with carrot and cake made with zucchini, so why not lettuce? Nicole Weston of Baking Bites shares a recipe for spiced lettuce cake bars, specifically made with iceberg lettuce, and spiced with cardamom and ginger. Don't worry; your cakes won't taste like plant: The cake bars are pretty good, and you wouldn’t know that they have lettuce in them unless someone directly told you or you didn’t get a great "shred" and a few big pieces slipped into the batter. They’re moist and soft, with a good balance of chewiness and tenderness. Make them and see if anyone can tell what your special ingredient is. Related: Photo of the Day: Salad Dressing Cake...

In anticipation of Where the Wild Things Are, the Spike Jonze-directed film adapting Maurice Sendak's children's book that will be released in theaters this October, this cake honors Moishe, the yellow-eyed monster from the story. Coco Cake Boutique in Vancouver baked the chocolate base and topped it with peppermint buttercream and fondant. Otherwise, it's just another cute cake with a face on it.

Hot milk cakes, anyone? The name alone makes me want to try them. Scented with a hint of nutmeg, these cakes, on the blog Baking and Books, hold together whipped cream and macerated strawberries to create a tasty alternate take on strawberry shortcake. With a "light, fluffy interior and thin, sugary crust," these would still be good by themselves if you don't happen to have fruit on hand....

telegraph.co.uk Happy 50th, Barbie. The Telegraph reports that a 2.1 meter tall cake, the biggest Barbie cake in history, was displayed on the First Fleet Steps of the Botanic Gardens in Sydney, Australia. That should feed all her friends and coworkers, as she's been a pediatrician, Air Force jet pilot, sign-language teacher, McDonald's cashier, Malibu beach bum, plastic corvette driver, and many other noble professions.
