I was perusing Cake Wrecks this afternoon, and found out about a contest that Threadless is running called “ThreadCakes.”  The subliminally creative shirt-makers are hosting a competition for fans to recreate one of their designs into cake-form.  While some are refreshingly amateurish, so many of these cakes are absolutely, ridiculously, phenomenally well-constructed.  Check out the site to see the corresponding T-shirts they go with (which are ingenious!).  Here are a few of my favorites:
