I saw the weirdest cake in a bakery window in Portland yesterday

I was walking past this little shop called 'Sugar Rush' and stopped to look at their display. In the middle of all the normal cupcakes and loaves, there was a cake shaped like a giant, perfect avocado. I mean, it was green fondant with a pit and everything. I went inside and asked about it, and the baker said it was a special order for a 'millennial housewarming party'. She said she spent 4 hours just getting the color right. It looked so real, I almost tried to pick it up. Has anyone else had to make a cake that looks like something it's definitely not?

Oh man, my friend once had to make a cake that looked exactly like a brick of cheddar cheese. It was for a retirement party for a guy who just loved cheese, I guess. The worst part was she said it smelled weirdly savory even though it was sweet.

Wait, it SMELLED savory? That's messed up. How does a sweet cake even get a cheese smell. Your friend must have used some wild flavoring. I'd be so confused cutting into something that looks like cheddar but smells like dessert. Sounds like a prank waiting to happen.
