"Zelda is half Peach Cake soaked in bourbon, the other half is vanilla cake with a salted caramel buttercream." Yes, cake. More magnificent cakes at Karen Portalo's cake gallery and Flickr stream.

Sounds delicious – and I’m not sure I could bring myself to cut into it.

Somehow “flapper cake” sounded dirty to me, until I saw that it was a cake modeled on the machine that made Tom Hanks into a man in Big.
