Realistic Looking Asparagus Cake…That Will Make Your Head Explode

Cakes are cool. You know what’s really cool? Hyperrealistic cakes that look like asparagus, but are actually just an exercise in extremely well executed fondant art built around an 8-layer Dark Devil’s Food Cake.

Without further ado, here’s an Asparagus Cake…that looks like a potted plant of asparagus, but in fact, is entirely edible, and tastes nothing like asparagus. Yes, I am Captain Obvious. Sue me:
