Let Them Eat Cake: Hong Kong Edition

When it comes to birthdays, my least favorite part is the cake.  I know, I know.  She doesn’t like cilantro, she doesn’t like bread, and now she doesn’t like cake?!  What the heck is wrong with this broad?!  (Lady of the Cakes, I can hear you howling in pain from here.)

Sadly, it’s true.  There must be something wrong with me.  I don’t like cake.  But while in Hong Kong, there was a pastry store ever 250 feet.  No joke.  And even though I don’t like the cake itself, I can certainly appreciate the aesthetics.  And, faithful readers, so can you.  Yes, these photos are for all two of you 🙂

*No pandas were harmed in the making of this post.  I did not buy them, nor did I eat them.

    You like cake. Stop pretending.

      It’s crazy – I don’t. I do love me a good fruit tart, though.

      I know, I know. It’s just the whole cake part that I don’t like!

        But I like other things! Tarts! Pies! That’s got to count for something!

        I shall take that into due consideration…

    I love the three-eyed green monster 🙂 Would be a shame to eat him he’s so cute! 🙂

      That’s from Toy Story! When things are shaped like cute creatures, I can’t eat them. I made Panda sushi, and couldn’t do it.

    I think I just got diabetes.
    But I guess what makes me sad is that aside from the pandas at the bottom there, you can find stands like that, with exact same cakes in Russia, London, Germany and US… oh globalization, you break my heart.

      It was some chain that I forget, and I did get a pastry from one of them which was basically a giant croissant filled with whipped sweet butter….I did not eat the inside.
