If The Food Network and SyFy had a kid, this is what it would look
like. <g>
I want one of these for my birthday cake this year. If they start now
they might just have time to finish it by December. And if I start
saving now, I might just be able to pay for it...
Regards,
Joe

There was a wrestling layer on the cake that I didn't notice? ;^( I
want to see the professional wrestlers appear on one of those cake
contests. Sometimes I like to see the cakes for the art. But every so
often if there's an episode tuned just so most of the cakes collapse,
that's fun too. ;^)

That's the problem with the world today. You can't satirize it. Now
matter what crazy stuff you make up to mock something, people will
still come up with *actual* stuff that's even crazier.

Too true!
Sigh, I can't even remember the last time I watched Syfy. Well, I know
it was before it became Syfy. Probably around the time SG-1 ended...

I would feel guilty eating that cake. I would feel like I was
destroying an amazing work of art.

I don't know if it's art, but I LIKE it! Another slice, please!

I would feel weird eating that cake, too. Especially since the fondant
bricks are like a year old, and the "cake" part is actually Styrofoam.
But it a thing of awesome beauty and deserved it's trophy for sure.

Well, fondant is gross and not really good for eating _anyway_, even when
fresh. That's why I'm usually more impressed with cake decorators who can do
an awesome job with an all-icing (no fondant, no gum paste) design. But in
this case, I'll make an exception, because it's truly amazing design work!

It is a cellular peptide cake.
With mint frosting.

You got to be more specif here. What exactly is it?
- a cake made of cellular peptide?
- a peptide cake that is cellular?

All this talk of fondant reminds me of this guy http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Kandyman
and his signature Fondant Surprise.

It wasn't, IMHO, a great story.

Maybe not, but you don't see that much fondant-based television, so I'll take
what I can get.

I would imagine not. :-)

Sorry but on *Styrofoam* the SG-1 10th season ep. "Family ties" pops
up
where Vala's dad Jacek sells foam peanuts for valuable via-a-agra
and the weapons dealer chrunching them hopefully.
Terrific ;-)

packing peanuts are made from several different materials - one being
cellulose, so that animals don't need to be taken to the vet if they
eat them. And I don't need viagra.

I once ordered a gift for a friend from a very pricey and high-end
chocolatier, who shall remain nameless. The kind of chocolatier who puts
wasabi and things like that in the chocolates, and who has a line named after
(and designed by) a clothing designer so super-hip I hadn't even heard of
him. Luckily, we were having the chocolate shipped to _us_, so we could
bring it along to his birthday dinner. This company was so hip and upscale
that of COURSE they were using the corn starch-based packing peanuts (which I
think are the same as cellulose).
This was in late May, so everything was shipped overnight, and with ice
packs.
Ice packs don't leak, but they do sweat condensation. So: water +
starch-based packing peanuts = glue, which wouldn't have been bad in and of
itself except that they'd put the beautiful purple, be-ribboned box of
chocolates into the packing box WITHOUT A PLASTIC BAG TO PROTECT IT. So it
arrived with very unartistic lumps of white gooey stuff all over it, ruining
the box.
They were nice about it, and I got to keep the ruined box while they rushed
to send another for my friend's birthday.
It arrived in exactly the same condition as the first box. No plastic bag
protecting the box of chocolates. I called again, explained AGAIN about how
starch peanuts were going to turn to glue with the sweat of the condensation
from the ice packs.
They got it right the fourth time, and I even managed to have them in time
for my friend's birthday (because I'd planned far enough in advance).
The upshot of all the chocolate we got to keep in the ruined boxes was...we
didn't think they were all that great, despite the huge hype they'd been
getting at the time.
