Disney has a showdown for the best cake

I love making cakes, and after I made a few for friends, I became the resident birthday cake baker -- not with a box mix and a quick lather of frosting, but rather a myriad of flavors, frostings, and marzipan decorations on top. And now it might be time to take the whole practice to the next level.

Disney's FamilyFun.com is having a best cake face-off and they have some super funky cakes on display, one of which won their "Great Cake Contest." These definitely aren't those simple, old-school cakes. There's a cake-filled dear head mount for hunters, elaborate castles, Pooh in the honey, and some really, really great food-themed cakes -- spaghetti, a bucket of KFC with a whole slew of chicken, and the awesome cheeseburger above. What's even better about this whole thing -- there are recipes for each so you can try them on your own.

Check out the cakes and weigh in below: Do you think the best cake won?

I made a "cheeseburger" cake for my son once. It didn't look near as good as the one there, but he loved it. The recipe called for this really complicated measurment of food dye to get the bun color right. I discovered if you mix vanilla icing and peanut butter you get pretty much the same color and it tastes better, too!

I'm not sure if I want to eat sweet or salty from looking at that picture! Then I got sucked in and checked out the contest and found out that it's definitely sweet!
