Sure, Halloween is coming, but I think this corpse cake from Carl Huber at Warehouse is really a dessert for all seasons. If any curiosity should remain about what, exactly, this is, I can refer you to a quote from the recipe: “What's a Corpse Cake you ask? It's a cake that looks like a corpse, moron.”
Fair enough.
This got me to thinking about the old Penn and Teller book How To Play With Your Food.
In particular, the bleeding heart gelatin dessert.
I also recently found another, far more anatomically correct, corpse cake. This one (pictured below) was posted to Phoom! over the summer. I guess there’s nothing new under the sun.
I'm not sure if I prefer the corpse cakes to the bread body parts or not.
