You can't have a party without cake, right?
Today's challenge is to be inspired by some YUMMY cake images on Flickr. You can check them out HERE.

Feel free to choose whichever cake image inspires you most when you are making your Unity creation, just don't forget to link back to it.

The details:

Just finished this card! I will post it soon though. I chose the eclairs because I made it for my uncles 80th birthday and needed something manly. I personally think it turned out perfect!
