I love meat salads (my mom used to make them all the time when I was a kid and we were broke as a joke) and if the cream cheese was a savory flavor, it seems like it'd be awesome. <br /><br />Ooh, imagine smoked salmon, oh, that'd be really awesome.<br /><br />I'm not from Northern Europe, either, just Oregon. :P I live in Australia now, the land of the meat pie, (WHICH ARE DELICIOUS) so maybe I'm a little biased.<br /><br />I think the decorations are cute, too. Why don't you guys have problems with sweet cakes dressed up to look like pizza or spaghetti? OH NOES, THE TRAUMA!!! I thought it was going to be delicious spaghetti, and when I took a bite...IT WAS CHOCOLATE! I threw up.<br /><br />Silly. You can tell from looking at it that it's meat filling.

I did the whole nine yards, including putting pineapple juice in the cream cheese frosting, etc. I did not eat any. I wish I had tried it, but you know how it is when you're hosting a party, you wind up serving everyone and not eating all the stuff you made. Anyway, my father-in-law wolfed down the whole load.

As To my surprise, I went to take a bite thinking this was going to be all sweet and yummy it was quite the opposite. Now, I am a type of person who does not like sandwiches or even salad's of this type I was in horror and so put off by this cake!
