Isn’t this cute? Cut open a birthday pound cake and every slice has your age -or actually, a child’s age, because anything over nine might be hard to fit. How did they do it? The secret is to bake the number first, then the rest of the cake around it. And the icing is fondant. Honestly, I’d lose the fondant and keep the surprise, if I were making this cake. But you’ll want to use it if your goal is to be the talk of the neighborhood moms. You’ll find the recipe and instructions at Tablespoon. -via Bits and Pieces

Does anyone really like fondant? Seriously? It's like eating sweet play-doh. uck. Give me buttercream frosting, any day!

Get this: an Australian radio station reposted this cake, and had a huge war in the comments that devolved into politics and mudslinging, which was made fun of at Deadspin, and then deconstructed at Metafilter.
