Gummy Wars!

This was my 26th birthday cake. I made two chocolate bundt cakes, frosted them with maple frosting, filled the inside with strawberries, and covered them in the lovely-to-look-at-but-horrifically-textured combination of almonds and gummy bears. What is joining them together is a gummy bear bridge made of chocolate and gummy bears. On the whole, it looked great and tasted….entertaining. Looking at the cake in the wider shot, it occurs to me that it looks sort of like an edible bra as imagined by a five-year-old.
