ReplyDeleteThis cake shows a great way to creatively capture something that is incredibly unhealthy (cigars) with something that is... well.. less unhealthy (cake). It's a great idea for adults, but it's a good thing this cake isn't marketed to kids. There are already enough ad campaigns directed toward promoting tobacco products to kids in order to draw in life-long customers from a young age, as tobacco has proven to be extremely habit-forming.
