Zoetrope cake pays tribute to Tim Burton

Confectioner Alexandre Dubosc made this Tim Burton themed zoetrope cake, which animates to display iconic imagery from many of Burton's best-loved films. There's even a sneaky Jack Skellington up top.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

And the wonderful thing about it is the exercise you must get as you eat it.

I assume Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are on the inside?

I’m not usually interested in elaborate cakes I see on the internet, but this one is really cool. Would love to see more zoetrope cakes, that’s the kind of idea that’s so obviously awesome in retrospect – a “why didn’t I think of that” moment of jealousy for not thinking of it first :)

Did you know that nobody in India can see the video (I guess) for this and a number of other items? Vimeo is one blocked site.

That’s over one billion people.
