I was eleven years old when the Towers went down. I WATCHED those Towers fall and I thought, "Oh my God, this is not happening, it canNOT be happening."<br /><br />A CAKE, guys? To some, it's awesome. To some, it's offensive. <br /><br />To me, it's the sounds of those buildings falling and the screams of the dying trapped within the rubble.<br /><br />I commend the baker for making this cake. Not many people have that intention to honor the dead, and I salute him for baking such a beautiful cake. But if he or anyone else actually intends to eat that cake, then I hope they choke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-22567260751688098542009-10-14T16:53:39.270-04:002009-10-14T16:53:39.270-04:00It's no more morbid than eating a "baby b...It's no more morbid than eating a "baby belly" cake or a cake of an animal.

I think he was trying to make a tribute to the occasion. Artists made paintings, Musicians wrote songs, so it only follows that cakemakers woudl make cakes.

Any cake, no matter how expertly executed, is going to look horrible when cut.

Does that make me unpatriotic, immature, moving on, what? I'm not sure what to do seeing as I was only in kindergarten when it happened. I feel fake commemorating something that I lived through and did not even care about at the time.<BR/><BR/>By the way, has anyone ever noticed that the date 9/11 writes out the number 911- the emergency number in most places?
