This is john, by the way.
So, let me just get my box of tissues and we'll do this thing. Starting with Jen's favorite:
The hand-painted shading here is amazing. And the animals are adorable. And the lion isn't eating the zebra or the giraffe. So it's a win-win-win.
This cake is slightly more realistic:
See how the monkey and giraffe cower in fear as the mighty tiger stalks his prey? Can you feel the tension? Can. You. FEEL IT?!?! No?
Maybe it's just me.
And now... sweet sleeping dragon!
And now... sweet sleeping dragon!
Sub'd by Amelie B. and made by her sister HeleneAwwww. Okay. *sniff* I'm all verklempt. *sniff* I promised myself I wouldn't cry...
[blowing nose]
Hey! Look! Pandas!
Preeeesenting, the sweetest giraffe ever!
Literally. I think the lack of neck really adds to the adorabletude, don't you?
And because I have an inordinate affection for tigers:
Sub'd by Jade D. and made by Theresa GueSo. Cool. Jen says this reminds her of some Lisa Frank folders she had in middle school. Which she claims is a huge compliment. So there.
And you know what else has stripes? (I am the king of segues)
I'm digging the bow and the vintage 20's hair part. Just dandy!
And speaking of bows. (I'm on a roll!)
By Aletha B.Baby Cthulhu!! AAAAAUUUGGHH!! SOOO CUUUUTE!!
And get this: this is Aletha B.'s first cake. Yes, really! Mike, Duff, and Bronwen better watch out, 'cuz Aletha B.'s coming, and she's got a Cthulhu.
And speaking of... cake. (Okay, that one wasn't my best work.)
By Ann N.Adorable. And hip. Oh. Yeah.
Another of Jen's favorites:
Sub'd by Orna G., and made by OdeliaAnd finally, for your viewing pleasure, allow me to present...

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 1426 Newer› Newest»I like the second book!
I love the dragon cake. I think my kids would like the first book.
I have never seen a Chthulu, but now I want one. I can keep him in the bathtub. True I wouldn't be able to shower or bathe, ok new plan... I can build a pool and keep him in that, but then he is outside and it has been cold.
I'll figure something out.
BTW Either book would rock.
Those cakes are adorable! Even my husband said "Awwwww!"
I'd love to have one of those baby animals books! I think my 2 year old would like it.
The second book is just adorable!
I love the giraffe! my little girls would adore the first zooborn book. I just might have to buy that book if I don't win
OMG SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!! -squeals-
I would die if I won the 2nd book with the fennec on it! sooo much cutenessss!
Both books look great, but I have kiddos, so I'd love to have the first one. Awesome!
Never heard of a Chthulu but it is cute! (even though the tentacle things on the side creep me out a bit)
I like the zooborn book with the baby tiger on it!
I like the second book because it has an ickle Fennec on it! Also, I'm completely and totally in love with the dragon cake. LOVE.
- Grace
My life is complete I've seen a unicorn with a comb over. I love the Panda cake too! I would love to have the first book.
Oh, man! Those cakes are fantastic. I'd love either book, but my first choice is the kid one :)
Oooh the second one! Oh, and that baby hippo cake is a the baby hippo from fluff friends on facebook. I am slightly ashamed that I know this.
I have a sweet little 6-year old monkey who would go bananas for the 1st book! :-)
~ Cynthia
WV: plests, as in, "I will be so plests if I win!"
I would gladly take either book!
Those baby animal cakes are precious!
Ooh ooh!! I'd love the first book!
--Lauren S.
The second book looks positively darling.
(or to quote my Australian Capcha... It looks Bonsa )
Just adorable, I really enjoyed this one, thank you! I never paid any attention to cake before, but I'm mesmerized by your blog. And my adorable girls would love the kid's book!
I don't know what that animal is, but it is sooooooo adorable!!
-Jessicka
The baby white tiger is so cute! I'd have to go with the first book!
a unicorn. with a comb over! = quirky, awesome + adorable.
ps. i want either of those books :)
First book, so cute.
I would love the Zooborn book for my 3 year old... :-) The cakes are unbelievably cute!
My rugrats would LOVE either one of the Zooborn books- we're very into cute critters at our house!
I like the baby Hip-hopopatamus.
My 4 year old has "awwwed" and "squee-ed" over each of the baby animals on here. Which means, of course, we'd love to get our hands on the first Zoobabies book you mentioned.
My kindergartener would love to read the first one, especially if there are any baby foxes in it. (We told him a baby fox is a 'kit', and he looked sort of flummoxed.)
Love the cakes and the books, especially the first!
I'd love to have the second book!
I don't know if my last comment worked. Oh, well, my kids would love the ZooBorns :)
I love the sweet teddy bear cake with the little birthday cake. My kids would love the first ZooBorn book. Thanks for all you guys do!
Would be totally and completely happy with either one. Surprise me :)
Erin R
Awwww... so cute! I like both books. :)
If I win....surprise me. They both look awesome!
Erin R
Are those bears cake too? Wow. And I love the dragon too. And the second tiger. Not so keen on Sea World though. I'd rather take my kids, if I had them, to see whales in the wild instead of confined in tanks.
I wouldn't care which book, I'd love either one.
I'd love a copy of the second book shown! So cute!!!!
That first cake is too cute. My son is an animal lover and he'd go crazy for something like that.
And because my kids love animals so much, we'd like the first book, please.
wv: luvingly - All of todays cakes have been made so luvingly.
I'd like the first one!
I love Cake Wrecks! I would love LOVE to win the first book. Or the second one. Either one actually. I am a sucker for baby animals and my kids are, too. :)
Adorable post, John! Thank you for braving the tears for us faithful followers! And I'm sure my daughter would flip out over the baby animal book!
There's a huge number of replies, already, but I'm sure the kids would like the first book, and I would like the second (though the baby white tiger on the first book IS appallingly cute)! Aletha needs to get into cake decorating. If my first cake had been anything near that awesome (for that matter, any of the subsequent ones), I definitely would have sent it to you!
I like the first book. :D
The dragon cake has to be my favourite. It's beautiful AND cute at the same time. Fantasy's my thing.
Hi! Long-time reader, first-time commenter. :D
SQUEEEEEEEEE! Those pandas are going to be my new background!!! OMG, so cute!
If I win, I would love the 2nd book.
Thank you for having such a wonderful website! love you!
I like the second zooborn book, plskthx.
Also, I want a baby Cthulhu cake for my birthday.
--Amanda K. from Odessa, TX
I like the 2nd book best :D
My daughters would love the Zooborns children's book! Adorable cakes today!
Squeee! Awww little baby animals! I'd really very much like the second book because its so friggin' cute and I never win anything. And also, the baby dragon cake is so beautiful! I wish my parents loved me enough to make me a cake like that!
~Jaclyn
Awww I love cute baby animals!
And I would like an adult(?) ZooBorns book, if I win. :)
I'd like the one with the baby tiger please :)
And the baby chtulu is soooo cute!
Love the blog, those cakes are so cute! ^_^
I'd prefer the second, 'everyone else', non-kids book!
Now I am going to have to get my son a baby animals cake. They are adorable!
I can't get over how sweet these all were! I have to admit though, my favourite was the giraffe! So cute!
I think I would have to go with the first book since I'm just starting out as a teacher!
*sigh* makes me wonder if I'd get strange looks asking for that adorable hippo cake for my 45th birthday! :)
(Either book is fine with me...I'm a big kid at heart and a sucker for any kind of baby animal!)
I visit your website every day, and I would love one of the animal books for my little daughter (whose mother cheaped out and bought a grocery store cake for her 1st bday).

I love the teddy bears. so cute!
I want the grown up zoo borns because I'm sick of my kid getting everything!
OMG! So squee-worthy! And both those books are on my wishlist. My daughter and I love to look at Zooborns together.
Oh, my, those are SO CUTE! All of them! Thank you thank you!
(And I like the baby tiger cover better, but either book would be fun...)
Absolutely adorable cakes!
I would looove the Zooborn book for the wee ones, with the goal of making "SQUEE" my baby niece's first word.
I really think my daughter would love the first book. You don't want to let her down do you?
So cute! Gave me a great idea for my niece's birthday cake! Love the panda cake, simple and striking!
As for the book, dare I dream? The original would be sweet enough I wouldn't need Equal in my coffee!
Baby Chthulu! can't.stand.the.cuteness.
and a book of baby animals? ack!
I LIKE BOTH BOOKS!!!! and all those cute baby animals...a unicorn and 3 cupcakes ON A CAKE is just TOO MUUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE. Love you guys and this awesome blog!!!!!
Adorable cakes!!
My daughter would love the first book, but either one would be fine!

I love these -- and love your blog! My tween daughter and I send your posts to each other to amuse ourselves -- and Daddy wonders what we are laughing about!
If I win, I'd like the one for little kids, for my niece.
Thanks!
So cute! I would love the kids ZooBorns book for my son :)
I really like the second book! It is so cute and sweet I think my teeth are already hurting!
I was going to comment, then saw that there were 1283 comments before mine and I chickened out. Then I thought better of it and decided to post anyway.
The first cake looks like the decorations that I got for my son's room. He even looked at that cake and said "Raff!"(giraffe if you are wondering) and started clapping his hands! So cute!
Anyway, he says I have to get him the first book because it looks fun. Of I could win it... ;)
Those cakes are adorable!! (All of those photos would make a cute book for children!) And my kids are really loving animal books lately so I would love the first book. *fingers crossed*
I like the tiger cake and the 2nd book.
BTW - speaking of daily cuteness: dailysquee.com
i <3 uni's with comb-overs.
I like the second book.
Squee! So much cuteness! :D
The zooborn books are so cute! The first one is adorable!
So cute! I loved all the sweets today. I would love either of those books. My daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES baby animals! :)
Michelle
Interestingly enough we watched a documentary on "Wild China" this morning where we saw pandas having sex. ...making love? Is that more PC? I'm not sure.
At any rate. If I'm the random comment I'd love the second book. I think I might make it one of those pass-a-long books. Read it, coo at the cuteness, then comment in the front cover and pass it on to the next reader.
...Though we do have a coffee table now.
WV: Oh chiesk! These cakes are keyute!
All of the cakes are so cuteeeee! :D
I like both books, but would prefer the first one... pretty please? ;)
Word verification: angst. Really.
Love your blog! My kids would go nuts for the 1st one. They love all the zoo animals!
The second zoo borns book would be fantastic.
I love this site. It makes my day every time I read it.
Thanks! :)
Casey
I adore the first book. Love the 3 bears with the mini cake too cute!
Sunday Sweets are the best! I wish I could decorate like that!
I like the first ZooBorn book, the one for kids. I'm a student teacher right now and it would be a great addition to a classroom.
Such adorable cakes today! The stackable pandas were my favorite.
If I won I'd take the book for the older people. That way my 8 year old and I can enjoy it together! :)
Awww, these are sooooo cute!! I love the dragon!
As for the books, I like the 2nd one best, but really, ZooBorns are just wonderful, so either is great!
I would love the 2nd book, and I love cake wrecks, read it everyday!
Those are all adorable! My favorite is the no-neck giraffe.
I like the first Zooborn book. :)
I LOVE your blog and would love the Zooborn book for "everyone else."
Love your site! I like the 2nd book. Angela
I'd love to win the second ZooBorns (the one for everyone) because I showed these cakes to my 8-year-old son and he was "Awww"-ing right along with me. 8-)
Our family would enjoy the first book most. Very cute.
The one for babies would be perfect for my own babies. Love Sunday sweets!

I'd love to win the first Zooborn book - it would look fabulous in my son's book collection!
I have got to try and make one of those giraffes! Too cute!
I would love either book, but i teach little kids and I know they'd love the first one.

My 3 year old would flip for the children's book! She loves animals, especially adorable, squishy ones.
I like the second Zooborn book. Love Animals!!
Pick me!
The first book for the kids looks cute.
I can't decide which cake I like the most the pandas or the tiger. I would love the first book ( the one for kids) I teach kindergarten and my class would love this book.
love your site....would love the 2nd book.
Angela
I wanna win! SO cute, I am bloated with cute!
The Baby Chthulu cake is awesome... And I'm okay with either book... cute fuzzy baby animals just do it for me!
that first book is so cute, the little tiger just looks so cuddly!
Love the first cake - reminds me of the bumper/wallpaper we had for my daughter when she was a baby - it was called "Judy's Jung'e" and had animals like that one.
I'd go for the second ZooBorn book, if I got the chance...
We'd love the second book, as we're currently expecting our second-born.
Oh the first book looks adorable. If by any chance I'm randomly picked, I'd like that one.
This is avery hard choice but by a hair I like 2nd book
This is avery hard choice but by a hair I like 2nd book
I love all of them, reminds me of some of the icing animals we do at the bakery I work at. The Chthulu is so cute!
I'd love the second book!
I need teh kyoot. The second book would make my day. :)
zooborns for kids sounds like something mine would like
Absotively wondermus cakes today! I have a soft spot in my head for baby cakes.....Anyways! I like either ZooBorn book! My boys love animal books :)
Those cakes are so adorable! We have a little one due next month (30 days to be exact!) and I already have Jungle Baby cake ideas running through my head for his first birthday- haha! Well as far as the books go, the second one is adorable! (Is that a fox?)
DK @ http://sweetsbyd.blogspot.com/
I would love the Zoo Born book for "grown-ups." So cute! Squee!
I simply must have that Panda cake! So cute. My son would love the zooborn book.
I'd like the book for kids. My 2 year old son loves animals!
First, I love that today's post was done by John. Gotta love a man with a tender side. ^_^
My fave is probably the first one. I absolutely love the detail on the palm trees!
Does the tiger cake make anyone else think of one of those cats from the game Kinectimals? Heehee!
As always, I love this blog! Thanks for keeping it real. ;)
I'd really like the second Zooborns book! They're both adorable, but I like the cover of the second one the most.
Excellent post, as usual!
~ Jennifer P.
I would love the Zoo Borns book for "grown-ups." So cute! Squee!
Great tie-in with Zooborns! My kids love that site and would be so excited to have the kids' Zooborns book. I'm going back to staring at the pink-beribboned Baby Cthulhu now.
I WANT!!! I WANT!!!!! And I don't care which one. SO CUTE (tho I also have a thing for tigers, so I like the first cover better.)
The detail on the teddy bears..!!
Amazingness.
So cute! I'd love Zoo Borns! the first.
Love Love Love that sculpted giraffe cake a lot!
The book for little kids is perfect, I've got a 10.5 month old and a 3 year old who loves to read to her baby brother. <3
The second book, definitely!
I love the no-neck giraffe!
I adore the second book..thanks!
I like the Zooborn book for BIG kids! :)
squeee, Tare Panda!! <3
and baby Chthulu!! I think my head asploded.
I desperately want both those books, but I think if I had the one for babies I could share it with my little niece I can teach her to squee. :D
I LOVE THE GIRAFFE CAKE!!!
And the second book :)
I loooooove the pandas and the hippo! The cutest! And I second zooborn book is adorable - hope I win!
I'd be happy with either one! :) Huge Zooborns fan!
Baby Cthulu rocks!
The "aawwwww" factor was set to high for ALL of these cakes!
The second book. I would give it to my anthropologist/zoologist friend who introduced me to ZooBorns!
These are amazing! The baby Chthulu (or perhaps just a Chthulu getting all dolled up) is amazingly creative. You know that was for the parents as much as it was for the child. I haven't read the Zooborns books but with six nieces and nephews under age 7 (and one nephew arriving in April), either would be an awesome win to have on hand for visits! I also work as a doula and keep kids' books on hands for wee siblings-to-be to read while mom labors, so why not add to the bag of tricks? Side note: I can't wait to search online to find a fennec cake! (The big-eared beauty on the cover of the second book is a fennec and is just made for over-the-top cuteness.)
Makes me want to go borrow someones kid just to have a cake made for them!!
And book #2 please ;)
What an adorable teddy bears cake!
How generous! I would love the first book for children since I work with children.
Thanks for the daily smiles!
I can vouch for Jenn - the tiger is definitely Lisa Frank-esque. I had tons of those folders and pencils and notebooks etc etc etc. But my fave is either the stack o' pandas or the unicorn.
I'd love the one for everybody else :) Too cute!!!!
The second book would be my choice. Although the panda cake is really what I want - adorable.
Claire
I would love to get the baby one for my 5-month old daughter but would be happy with either one.
Both books look sweet, but if I have to choose I'll take the second one.
Adorable cakes, and just in time! My son is turning 1 soon and I needed some inspiriation! Thanks!
Love all those super-cute cakes. As for the books, either one would be fine.
I love the unicorn with the combover. Since I have 2 girls who are in love with all animals, especially baby ones, I would like to have the Zooborns geared to younger readers. Thanks! I love your blog. So funny...
Paige
Just sat here with my 16 month old and we ooooo'd and ahhhhh'd together.... LOL Great post today!!!
Is it too late? Is it? I want a book! Any book!
These Sweets are just adorable, and the 'first' cake? I don't believe. It's just perfect!
I think these cakes are just too cute!!! The "Lisa Frank" tiger cake really brought me back to grade school too! It was just so GGGRRREEEAAATTT!!! (as Tony the Tiger may say. I would love to have the first book listed. Thanks for offering to share them!
Lisa K
Oh my God, baby Cthulu. Awesome.
I'd love either book so much!
We love the first Zooborn book, so fun!
I like the first Zooborn books - babies from around the world! This post was so cute, made me 'awwww' the whole time.
Loved today's cakes. My 2 year old son watches me as I read the CW blogs and laugh my head off. Now he comes over to check out the cakes, does his own laughing impression and then says "EW" or "That's scary!" to most of them! Love it!
So if we are chosen for the book prize today, I think my son would dig the 1st book. He's an animal freak!
Jessica B. ABQ NM
I would totally love either of the books.
Those cakes are so stinkin' cute! The first one takes the cake for me though - the blue lion is so adorable!
-Get it? Takes the cake? I can be witty too!
either of these books would be awesome, almost as awesome as the dragon cake!
Cutest cakes ever! They were all so great I can't even pick a favorite out of the bunch. Speaking of favorites, (how is that for a segue?) I love the cutsie fennec fox on the second book!
I love the little fox on the second book! So sweet. Whipping out the gumpaste tomorrow--inspiration!
Since I am horribly bad at time zones, don't even know which one I'm in, here's hoping it's before midnight wherever EST is. :D But as an avid reader of cake wrecks, but never posted before, I humbly submit my first comment hoping to win an adorable zoobook for my kiddos. They would like either one, but my personal fave is the second one. crossing my fingers, but will continue to amuse myself greatly reading cakewrecks whether I win or not.
I am overwhelmed by sugary cuteness.
If I got the Fennec Fox book I would have to faint from the joy of baby critters.
Thanks Cake Wrecks!
Lisa Garrett
OOOOHHHHHHH Zooborn for kids! My 2 yo would adore that--she's obsessed with all things baby!
That Chthulu is the cutest ruler of the underworld ever! It makes me want to replace all my "r"s with "w"s.
I'd be happy with either book, but my young son would much prefer the one for kids :) Adorable!
Either book would be fantastic! My girls wold love either!
Either book would be fantastic! My girls wold love either!

I would love the second ZooBorn book. I read the RSS feed of the website so having the book would be awesome!
comb over...unicorn...I don't think I've ever heard those two words used together, ever....
Love both those books, would be happy to have either one....
Super cute cakes. I really liked the pink hippo. I liked the first Zooborn book.
My girls would love the first Zooborn book. I personally love the baby Chthulu.
I like the baby animal book..so cute!
Having trouble posting. Here goes again ....

Oh my word! So cute it hurts! Especially that DRAGON! This couldn't have come at a better time either. My baby is turning one on Thursday and we are doing a zoo theme! Oh I wish I could get a cake like this for him!
I love both books!
I sooooo want to win the Zooborn book, so pick me, random comment picker-ma-bob, pick me!
I like the second book! So adorable!
Very super cute cakes this week!! The Chthulu has to be my favorite!!!
I would take either book, but have a 4 year old and baby on the way who I think would like the first better.
The baby animal cakes remind me of a cake a friend of mine baked which features nuzzling giraffes and said "happy every day". I've wanted to submit it for a while. guess I should have!
As far as books, I would love to have the second book for myself, but I'd also love to send the first book to my sister's family. She is a zoologist and her two boys get to have be best of animal encounters.
Pick me, I'd love to have the second book!
~Justine
My kids would love either book. Way cute cakes!
We love baby animals and that first book looks great.
OK, My daughter Jenevieve (yes, another Jen) aka 4boys4me, makes cakes for her kids, and they like Cake Wrecks.
I can just see one the boys requesting the Cthulu cake. Why? Because their mom is weird enough to make it for them.
And book two would be fun.
baby animals....my girls would just die for it!!
So damn cute...love the dragon. And, I'd love to win the book for kids.
I like the second book. I did my daughters bday cake upon request. She thinks it should go on the Sunday sweets. I see a big fat pink wreck! That's for "encouragement" that I too can make a cake! -natalia
*love love LOVE* the sleeping dragon! I want it for my bday!
Cuteness overload! but would love the second Zooborns book. My son adores the ZooBorns page.
Hope I am not to late to leave a comment. Love the blog, love, love the witty quips and would love to have either book! Keep up the great work!
I would totally take the second, since I'm a cute animal loving adult person! (and may I ask for the cake with the lion living in harmony with the rest of the animals as well?)
Second book for everyone else! Pick me! Pick me! That hippo is cake is my new friend <3

My daughter would loooove the Zooborns book!
Oh heck, who am I kidding, I want the first as well. I am practically a kid anyway. My drawer full of crayons and coloring books and my THREE shelves of cartoons and kid movies (out of 6) say the same too.
Whoa, 1300+ comments?
I think I'm now at cute overload for the week, but I'm not complaining. Either the first cake or the Tare Panda cake is my favorite.
I think the pandas actually make more sense as cake - I've never understoond why they have that "Russian Nesting" look (thanks for the great description, BTW, I'll always think of it when I see them from now on), but it actually makes sense for a layered cake! :p
So Cute! I was just looking at the ZooBorns site today and loved the first book for kids, but both are so stinking cute!
Am i too late??
Darn Arizona for not taking part in daylight savings!
I'll take Zooborns for $200, Alex!
My kid and kid-on-the-way love animals. Did I mention yesterday was my baby shower and you didn't get me anything? Shame on you. Shame on me for not inviting you. But, it's not too late to send me a book which the kids will love! please, please, please!
Adorable yes.
Accurate in the description of their diets, no.
Someone by now has surly addressed the fact that the Russian nesting Pandas eat BAMBOO and Blinis, right, not Eucalyptus and Borscht.
I mean only Russian nesting Koalas eat Borscht.
LOL: had to add this bit of synchronicity - my PBS station is showing this episode all about baby animals tonight - Born Wild: The First Days of Life!
Oh, and not to add to the Epbotness, but regardless of what regular pandas eat, maybe Tare pandas do eat Borscht. I don't read enough Japanese to be able to tell, and Wikipedia doesn't say. :p
We have little kiddos, and would love to win the Kiddie one. Thanks for a chance!
The baby Cthulhu is just a riot, and oh, so cute!
And these cakes are, as you said, fetching. Wonder if any of them will fetch me some cake?
wv - pawla
:::singing::: "Sweet little cake critter, give me your cute little pawla la la la . . ."
aww man, i'm too late as it's already 913pm Pacific. oh well, those are two uber cute books... and definitely the cutest was the unicorn with the combover. :o)
I would love the first book to read to my little boy. He loves loves loves loves animals. It seems like a super cute fun book to add to his bookshelf! :)
(Never hurts to enter a contest, does it?!)
Adowable animals awe adowable.
Ok seriously, I "awed" out loud when I came to the panda cake. How freaking adorable is that? That second book looks pretty dang cute. My kids & I would love it!
Oh, so much cuteness, I'm squeeing!
EEK!! I LOVE the panda's so much. They look like cute squishy pillows! I want to reach out and squish them!
Dang, it's probably too late. :(
The first book looks pretty cute though!!
I'm amused to see, on the Odelia cake picture, that there is a "Curlz"-like font for Hebrew.
Not sure why that amuses me, but it does!
The Zooborns for babies! If I don't win it, I'm probably going to buy it anyhow!
Oh who am I kidding, I'm buying one for every little kid I know! :)
I just adore this website, and Sunday Sweets is my favorite. I should be in bed but I have to check it out before I can sleep!
I think the pandas are my favorites, but it's so hard to pick, so I won't.
1. My kids would adore either book. Woohoo!
2. Those pandas? In Hong Kong, they were called "pa dei hung." It meant...the panda that lies on the floor. LOL He was one of the characters that you could find on keychains, pencils, notebooks, pencil cases...anything sold in a stationary/school shop. I haven't seen him in ages! He was one of my favorites....
I may be too late but here's a comment anyway. I actually had to Google Chthulu and none of the results were as cute as that cake. Love to win the adult book.
*want* ZooBorn for older peeps! :)
