Can't we just have normal frosting roses, sprinkles, maybe a
spermy-looking bunch of balloons? Even a beanbag-body clown would be
ok. I mean, I try to avoid even being in the same
room with yukky-looking creatures...do I really have to take a bite out of one with a side of Ben and Jerry's?
This is a Naked Mole Rat. Cousin to the rare Old Navy Sweater-Wearing Mole Rat. This cutie is interesting because he lacks the ability to feel pain.
Yeeeah. I kinda wish
I had that trait right about now.
Maybe if we hadn't stored this confection in a grimy cabinet and put a ravioli under the sheets, we could have avoided this infestation, hmm?
And speaking of infestations...
Do you think if you made a cake like this out of Twinkies, it'd be twice as likely to survive a nuclear holocaust? Just wondering.
Hey, ever wonder what you'd get if you crossed a naked mole rat with a roach?
Yeah, me neither.
Still, I bet it'd look something like this:
Kathy, Rebecca A., Lisal F., & Jessica D., these cakes aren't bugging you, are they?UPDATE: A big thanks to Cristy B., creator of the Naked Mole Rat cake, for being such a good sport and submitting her own cake!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 209 of 209 Newer› Newest»I work at a zoo design firm and we just did an exhibit for Naked Mole Rats. Where can I order one of those???!!!!
That last thing, I think, is supposed to be a cicada. I think...
Why are the teeth coming out of his nose???
That last one may be a cicada, but for some reason it reminded me of the snap-dragon-fly in [i]Through the Looking-Glass[/i]: "Its body is made of plum-pudding, its wings of holly-leaves, and its head is a raisin burning in brandy."
Picture about a quarter-way down the page. Of course the wreckerator left off the long thorax:

Okaay all of these are great art work, but who would eat a cake like that. I WOULD BABYYY!!!
i can try them :)...
OMG that is just absolutely horrible!!!! How can anyone even think about making a critter cake. :(
I don't know if anyone else wrote this yet (there are too many comments for me to read them all), but the first cake is probably based on work by patricia piccinini (may FAVORITE artist!)
warning: this is by no means the most disturbing thing in her collections.
go here:http://www.patriciapiccinini.net/
and find the "nature's little helpers" collection. This one seems to be based on her creatures in "the embrace." (look through those pics and you'll find it.)
While you're there, DEFINITELY take a look at the "we are family" piece. for me, awesome. for others, it's the stuff nightmares are made of.

I totally love that naked mole rat. That's what I want for my next birthday ^^
(And the awesome thing is, I won't have to share it)
