Apocalypse Cakes, you are making my stomach churn at the worst possible time--eating time. Although I love designing cakes when I have the time, not in a million years would I be strong enough to try one of these concepts--not even for Halloween.
Taking the first part of their name a bit too seriously, Apocalypse Cakes is a website/web store that offers recipes inspired by global disasters. For example, above you will find the "Raining Blood Red Velvet Cake," "Bird Flu Feather Cake," and "Global Jihad Date Cake."
Apocalypse Cakes must be made up of people with sick minds and strong stomachs--I'm just saying.
