My friend's birthday is coming up and she's obsessed with food that looks like other food. Think the ice cream "baked potato" dessert that used to be served at one of those chains (Chilis?).

Since I love baking, I'd love to be able to surprise her with some kind of dessert, but I'm stumped. The only thing I've been able to come up with so far is "meatloaf" cupcakes with "mashed potato" frosting.

Any ideas?
