Darwin bday/valentine cake

So later this week its Darwin’s birthday and tomorrow the Beaty Biodiversity Museum is having a little shindig to celebrate complete with cake baking decorating contest (I’m excited to meet some science nerds who are into cake decorating).

Anyway, here’s a sneak peak at the cake I decorated. His mouth and eyes are a bit creepy, but hey – I’m not a professional cake decorator, and Darwin’s dead so he probably won’t notice! Hopefully I’ll be able to go over to the event but It all depends on meetings. If I can’t make it I’m going to send the cake with a coworker who will be there.

The cake is a delicious orange almond flavour, and although I over baked it slightly, the bits I cut off the ends tasted marvelous. I’ll post about it probably on the upcoming weekend when I have some time.
