Baking for biodiversity

February 12th 2011 is Darwin's 202nd birthday (or would be if he were alive) and nothing quite says happy birthday like a "Host Dependant Replicate" cake or a "A Phylogenetic Tree of Darwin's Books" made up of cupcakes.

Each year, to celebrate Charles Darwin's birthday, the Beaty Biodiversity Museum organizes a contest in which participants create cakes in honour of Darwin and his achievements.

Go here to see a few results of the "Bake a Cake for Darwin Contest".

I'm not so sure about the "Primordial Pudding" entry, but please, cut me a slice of that venomous coral snake. Or is it the copycat species you're about to knife?
