The Retro Blog

A strangely addictive and entertaining blog called Cake Wrecks has been gaining a lot of notice on the internet. It celebrates cake designers that should perhaps be seeking employment in other fields as well as skillful cakes made to look like things that should have never been set in icing.

It was made in 1946 to honor the “successful” atomic bomb tests in the Bikini Atoll. [via neatorama]
