In which the author is hungry

Hey y'all!
Wow first I was too busy to update, then I had too much free time - you know the type where you think "Oh, I'll do it later" and never do? Yup, that was me.
I got myself a job btw... an actual paying job. Good lord I'm getting old. Then again, it's only four hours a week as they have so many temps, so I guess I'm not getting that old :P Still, it's a paying job in Canterbury for someone who can only do part time and has limited experience. Plus the staff discount will be good for christmas, even if most potential presents I see are for me :P
Ooooooooooooh sleepy.

So, I've been thinking, seeing as the potluck dinner went so well (oh, for those not cool enough to be in the loop or have attended, we had a potluck dinner... and it went well), I was thinking why not stretch this out a bit... because I like food. Thus, I may propose a bake-off - everyone bakes something (muffins, scones, biscuits, chocolate crispies, cakes etc) and brings it along and we all scarf to our heart's content. As a result of this marvellous idea being somewhat on the brain at the moment, and putting off the concept of having to do uni work, I have decided to devote this post to the most wonderfully decorated cakes to grace the internet, you know, just to set the bar. Drool on.
 

Beer cake!

Literary cake

Tire cake!

Ghosty cake :)

Tilting cake

Van Gogh starry night cake :D 

(I love this one!)

Heart cake!

Engine cake

Camera cake

Pokeball muffins!

Monopoly cake! (So good I felt it needed to be bigger to give it full credit - it's not a photo cake sticker thing)

Watermelon cake! (with chocolate chips for pips!)

Yellow Submarine cake :)

And finally, this was so awesome it needed a row of its own. Instructions on how to make it, should you feel inspired and a little foolhardy, are here.

DISKWORLD CAKE!!!!
