People are going to be hackin’ into this poor animal that looks like it’s bleedin’ to death!

We had dinner last night with a friend for her birthday. This particular friend is a bit of a baker and usually makes birthday cakes for everyone else (or used to; she’s been busy lately).

So her husband ordered her birthday cake, wanting it to be special. He even managed to keep their kids from telling her how the cake was decorated.

How was it decorated? Check it out:

An armadillo cake!

That cake looks disturbing yet delicious.

It was pretty good (and I don’t really like cake).

Isn’t that a replica of the cake from “Steel Magnolias”??

Yes. That was the point. She’s a good southern lady, loves the movie.

Now that is hilarious! I didn’t think that anyone would ever actually make that cake.

Now I need to go watch Steel Magnolias again.

Looks more like a sick duck. I did taxidermy for 27 yrs. and I know I could make an armadillo cake that looks more like an armadillo. Matter of fact, I have one on order for next week. I could send you a photo of the finished cake.
