Over the years my birthday cakes have been pretty bland. It’s either a fresh cream fruit cake with ‘Happy Birthday Jen’ spelled out in dodgy blue icing or it’s a ready made chocolate cake from Tesco, the one with the little edible white chocolate balls on it.
I always felt in my soul that there was more to birthday cakes than sponge, one layer and candle wax. I was right. With the internet came Google Image and with Google Image came a whole world of cake art, unlimited layers and creations beyond my tiny Irish imagination.
Not only did I find cakes that were amazing they also fed my geeky side. I don’t know whether I would eat them or encase them to preserve them forever. Maybe someday I’ll know how to bake a cake and actually make some of these but until that day I’ll continue to indulge my cake fetish and put them marked in the folder ‘Not Cake Porn’.
Enjoy some of my favorites!
