I saw the weirdest cake at a bakery in Portland last weekend

I was walking past this little place called Sugar Rush and saw a cake in the window that looked like a giant, perfect avocado. I mean, it was green and had the pit and everything. I went inside to ask about it, and the baker told me it was a 'smashed avocado toast' cake for a birthday. It was a vanilla cake with matcha buttercream, and the 'pit' was a chocolate truffle. I guess it's a win for looking exactly like the thing, but I'm not sure I'd want to eat a cake that looks like my breakfast. Has anyone else seen a cake that looked like something it totally wasn't?

Sounds like a fun twist on dessert to me.

Not sure about that. Seems like it would ruin the original flavor.

Ruin the original flavor" is exactly what I used to say. Then I tried something like what green.iris is talking about and it actually made the whole thing better. Changed my mind completely.
