Great collection of cakes Robert!
I missed my favorite designer though! Pink Cake Box (www.pinkcakebox.com). Perhaps my favorite from Anne is her Yorkie Cake (http://blog.pinkcakebox.com/yorkie-rehearsal-cake-2010-06-26.htm) I’m also a big fan of her dress cake (http://blog.pinkcakebox.com/sweet-16-party-dress-cake-2010-05-15.htm)
Thanks!

Check out Threadcakes as well. It’s an annual contest where people create and decorate cakes inspired by Threadless t-shirt designs. Some of the cakes are phenomenal (check the 2011 and 2010 winner galleries). The contest should begin sometime soon again for 2012, its usually a summer thing, if anyone wants to break out the spatula!
