I would love to include this cake and the Mad Cow-terpillar cake in a post about home decorated cakes. May I have permission to used your photos and link to your posts? I can promise there won't be any snarkiness since the whole point of this is to show how awesome homemade cakes can be. My site is http://dorkchocolate.net and I can be reached at dorkchocolate@gmail.com

Thanks!

While I don't approve of the "N-word" word, I have an extreme dislike of censorship. Besides, leaving it in opens up an opportunity to discuss the meaning and usage of the word, and that can go a long way in understanding why it's considered offensive and what the word means to different people. The only time that it would be appropriate to remove the "N-word" from Huckleberry Finn is once the word has been removed from our common vocabulary.

Damn, I wish I had kids to discuss this kind of thing with around the dinner table. My parents washed my mouth out with soap the one time I used it, but we never, ever talked about it.
