Over the weekend, I watched a cake challenge on the food network. They are on all the time and I usually put it on while I am trying to get stuff done around my room or whatever the case may be. Every time this show is on, I am always amazed as too how much more modern cakes are becoming. The traditional white icing, vanilla or chocolate batter, with pretty decorations barley exists anymore. Now a days, everything is bold, outrageous, and modern. Cakes come in all different sizes, shapes, colors, flavors, and filled with crazy decorations and ideas. On this show, the cake decorators were making a cake for an elder couples anniversary and it contained everything they liked as a couple. Each decorator had to do their best to interpret what the customer wanted and make a beautiful cake to their liking. I love watching shows like this because it gives me a different view of how the cake world is changing all the time due to surroundings and such.

What exactly is fueling this one-upsmanship in the cake world, this quest to make cakes more ornate and more surreal looking? Where do you see cakes in 50 years? Will the ingredients ever change to make them tastier or more pliable?
