President Obamacakes

Luce Foundation Center, Smithsonian American Art Museum 

Obamacakes. No, that's not Michelle's pet name for our commander-n-chief. It's a reference to a cupcake installation at the Smithsonian Museum, by famed cupcakanographer Zilly Rosen of Zillycakes.

"Within minutes nearly all of Lincoln’s face had disappeared. But an hour later — thanks to either full stomachs or a respect for the sitting president — the majority of Mr. Obama’s face was left intact."

Personally, I find it a little strange that the inside of the cupcakes for the Prez were chocolate cupcakes and the ones for Lincoln's face were vanilla cupcakes. I guess it is supposed to add to the realism of eating someone's face? I dunno just seems a bit weird.
