Baby Cakes: Crazy Creepy or Crazy Cute?

LilSugar — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:01:19 PDT

"What's my baby doing on the cake platter taking a nap?" Oh snap! That's a cake! Every baby shower deserves a special dessert but these er... take the cake? Forget the diaper cakes or the diabetic friendly flower pastry. Shower hosts can serve up a frosted newborn on a silver platter.

On the hilarious and uber-creative blog spot Cake Wrecks, we found some unsettling baby confections. What could be creepy about a baby cake? Well for starters, some of them have a doll buried under icing making it look more like a deathbed than a bassinet. And what happens when it comes time to eat the dessert? No guest wants to see the sugary lil toes sliced off for their nibbling pleasure. The bakers are certainly skilled in the decorating department, but maybe a crib full of stuffed toys would have done the trick.

What do you think about these babylicious cakes?

Made With Love? 20 Cakes Gone Wrong

TresSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:00:00 PDT

You can't have your cake and eat it too, which would be fine by me if I received one of these cake wrecks. Some mean well but were poorly executed (GIPE?) and others . . . well they vary from not cake-appropriate to, yeah, just inappropriate. And while inappropriate can make a party awkward, it can make a website great. Cake Wrecks is the web's finest purveyor of iced-up atrocities, and we've rounded up 20 of the most très terrible cakes out there.

Ewww!

I would give kudos to the cake decorator for making this foot's infected big toe look so realistic - but I'm busy holding down my last meal.

12 Starbucks Treats For Under 250 Calories

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:00:55 PST

Decadent coffee shop desserts and fancy espresso drinks can be diet killers, but there are lower calorie options if you're watching your calories and find yourself hungry on the go. Chains like Starbucks may serve up seriously indulgent seasonal drinks, but the company also lists nutritional facts on its website, so you can scout out treats that won't wreck your healthy eating habits in a few bites. I was curious to scope out the best calorie bets on the menu, so I compiled 15 Starbucks items you can snag for under 250 calories if you're ever on the go and looking for a healthier treat.

Birthday Cake Mini Doughnut has 130 calories and six grams of fat.
Marshmallow Dream Bar has 210 and four grams of fat.
Petite Vanilla Bean Scone has 140 calories and five grams of fat.
Chicken on Flatbread with Hummus Artisan Snack Plate has 250 and nine grams of fat.
Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal without topping has 140 calories and two and a half grams of fat.
