For a few years, I did an event at my office which I called Cake Thursday wherein every other Thursday I would bring in a cake that I'd baked and invite colleagues to join me for a slice. Eventually I moved the event to Monday's, but the gist was the same. Following are a selection of invitations and their respective cakes from those years. Invite: Lincoln's Birthday Cake
Cake: Lincoln's favorite cake, with oomph. Two layers of White Almond Cake with a filling of Lemon Mousse. On top is powdered sugar dusted on through a hand-cut stencil.
Invite: Raspberry Cream Cake (photograph is one I shot in Andrew Wyeth's kitchen)
Cake: Two layers of yellow cake with Raspberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
Invite: Butter Rum Cake Bites
Cake: A rum cake that fell apart and, in turn, was made into balls of cake that were then rolled in confectioner's sugar.
Invite: Tomato Soup Cake
Cake: Tomato Soup-based spice cake popular in the 1940s.
Invite: Lost in the Woods
