Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

a cake decorated with faux vegetarian sushi

I have a co-worker that has the ability to find some of the most amazing cakes on the internet. Knowing that have an unhealthy obsession with anything edible, he is nice enough to send links to those cakes in my direction on a near-daily basis.

The cake you see above is another creation of Zoe Lukas (the woman who was also responsible for the Robert Indiana cookies, the Battlestar Galactica cake and the patriotic wedding cake). She has was charged with making a sushi-themed cake and so came up with a spiced carrot ginger cake with cream cheese icing. She topped the whole thing with fondant and used it as a "serving platter" for her tasty veggie sushi. Coconut stands in for the rice in the pieces and rolls, and she even made pickled ginger out of colored fondant.

After the jump we've got a cake decorated to look like Tom Selleck, as well as another sculpted to replicate the Millennium Falcon (made by the folks at Charm City Cakes, so you know it has got to be good).

Here you see the Millennium Falcon cake, created by the bakers at Charm City Cakes for a birthday party. The photo was taken by Michael Biven and the cake should be appearing in an upcoming episode of the Ace of Cakes on the Food Network.

The last cake for today is this beauty, decorated with the face and upper torso of Tom Selleck (circa 1986). Made by artist/baker Alicia, it shows off Mr. Selleck in tasty, frosted glory.
