Narwhal Cake

by Amber on April 15, 2011 in Food

I’ve mentioned a few times before that my friend Tessa is a talented print designer, but it turns out she is also an incredibly talented CAKE maker. She fronted up to my recent house party with a magical narhwal cake. It features a blue jelly ocean, with chocolate fish swimming in it, crocodiles circling the outer ring, a hokey pokey iceberg, and two narwhals (which were individual cakes). Oh and the kicker? Once you cut a slice it was revealed to be a rainbow cake inside!

I have a narwhal tattoo emblazoned across my left gun, which I like to think served as the inspiration. Tessa says she wanted to “smash together the idea of a ‘pool party’ and ‘under the ocean’ensemble, with a nod to the traditional unicorn/rainbow combination.”

It was delicious as well as pretty. Thank you so much Tessa!

Narwhals, the unicorns of the sea! I like their cute little horned faces so much I got one on my arm. Crappy picture, but this little beast is an absolute work of art. Exquisite. I am so happy to have him on my left arm.

I wasn’t planning a tattoo, but you know, it was rainy and I didn’t want to go to yet another film (three in three days). Tattoos are generally indoor activities, right? So yeah, NARWHAL!
