This BSG cake cures my case of the Mondays
by GeekMom on May 12, 2008
I caught up on
Battlestar Galactica over the weekend, and I am loving it! Some very exciting things are happening, but still no revelation on the identity of the final Cylon. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
In the meantime, I'm dealing with the post-Mother's Day housework, which is what happens when Mom takes the weekend "off." Hubby and the kids made me relax, and they treated me like a queen, which was really wonderful! But, it makes for a very messy Monday...
If you're a fellow BSG fan in need of a Monday pick-me-up, take a look at this fabulous cake! Those ships and explosions are edible! And if you look closely (

Whipped Bakeshop, and here is the creator's description:
This cake was created for a Battlestar Galactica party held at Independents Hall in Philadelphia. Chocolate devil's food cake with raspberry jam and ganache filling, iced with chocolate buttercream and ganache, decorated with chocolate ships and explosions, silver dragees, silver and gold space dust. 100% edible!
Doesn't that look and sound delicious? Chocolate buttercream and ganache? Edible gold space dust?! So say we all! Happy Monday, everybody!

Hehe, cool cake, though when cakes are so creative I don’t like cutting into them. =o)
Very cool! This reminds me of the fabulous creations on Ace of Cakes. I LOVE that show.
PS. Thanks for clicking for my TopMomma thingy.

God, my sister has been hounding me to try that Battlestar Galactica - I won’t have to go to any conventions or anything, will I? I am going to get the DVD’s since all my faves (Weeds, Big Love, L-Word, Heroes) are off.

@Bob: Yes, it is awesome. Wish I could have had a slice.
@Christy: It’s hard making the first cut, but once it’s done, I have no problem digging in!
@Peapod: I love Duff! Those cakes they make are so amazing. They are not just bakers. They are artists!
@Kelly: I know!!!! I’m crazy for BSG too! Can’t wait to see what happens with D’Anna…
@Sue: Well, there are the weekly meetings, secret handshakes, and Cylon-repellent spray we use, but other than that…
D’Anna is as bug-crazy as Starbuck… which really makes me want to buy into Evan’s theory that Starbuck in the final Cylon. But I think it will be far less obvious… even shocking… when we discover who the 12th one is.
