Hey, we've had bacon ice cream and bacon martinis and even bras made out of bacon. Why not a cake topped with it?
That's the question that a reader of cakehead.com asks. Specifically, she asks what type of cake is the best to top with bacon. Yellow cake was too sweet, and carrot cake didn't quite work either. Click on the link to find out what cake tastes great with bacon, and then try it yourself.

The icing was an awesome combination of salty and sweet. I would have eaten the icing by itself probably.
Yes, bacon CAN go with cake!
