We're big Amy Sedaris fans here at Slashfood (especially Bob), whether we're baking her cupcakes or reading her newest book, but this latest offering from the foodie comedienne is a bit unusual. It's a fake cake . Available in two sizes - 10"x4" and 8"x4" - the Styrofoam cakes are decorated just like the real thing and can be displayed, presumably in your home, as though they were in a bakery pastry case. It will help give a bit of a country air to your kitchen, as though you bake towering layer cakes everyday - at least until people notice that your cake never changes and certainly doesn't get eaten.
The limited edition cakes are autographed by Amy Sedaris herself and come in four flavors: chocolate, white, yellow and pink/strawberry. They're not cheap, at $100 for the large size and $75 for the small, so unless you really feel like splurging, you might be better off with a copy of her book and a real homemade chocolate layer cake.
