What cake do YOU see?

I loved this granny-made cake for one of Grace's friends' first birthday. So much more is left to the viewer's interpretation than your average sheetcake.
If you are in the under 5 or over-65, you might see it as it was intended...a princess with a sugar-coated gown blinged out with gum-drops.
If you are, say, 39-ish and trolling the buffet for potato salad and devilled eggs, you might be surprised to look at the dessert table and see a six-inch high stripper with a frosting bra popping out of her cake as if it was a 60's-era stag party.
If you think like a 12-year-old boy, you might think "Cool! Octopus Barbie!"
