This is a picture of a Barbie cake that my aunt, Vera, made for me, upon the occasion of my fifth birthday. On that same birthday, my grandmother made me strawberry shortcake and I considered this a huge, huge deal. Two kinds of cake! Crazy!
So when the concept of a cake-mailing contest came up in conversation between Julia (cake entry #4) and myself, I was thrilled at the idea of creating a cake contest. Sure, our basic concept sprung from the somewhat-odd idea of cake "smooshiness" and "gunkiness" but that's just our kind of thing. We're fun like that.
