No, I’m talking about the “cakes” created from thirty or so cupcakes, placed closely together and then iced over so they look like, or at least attempt to look like a sheet cake.

Here are a few gems that bakers (professional bakers, mind you) actually thought people would buy:

Now- that’s a cake.  (EEEEEEK!)

If you want to see more fabulous cakey-ness – be sure to visit Jen Yates over at Cakewrecks.  She’s got an extreme dislike for the triple “C” as well – but her photos are oh-so-much-better than mine.

Wow.
Funny part is, my kids think their dad needs the big top cupcake cake for Father's Day. They've been talking about it for about 2 years now. Hmmm...interresting substitute for a tie, huh?
