Dead Bird Baking

The Roadkill Cake Looks Surprisingly Tasty

Created to look like a dead pigeon, the Roadkill Cake is deliciously realistic looking. Made out of red velvet cake, cream cheese icing, coconut with cherry sauce, and walnuts for eyes. Can I have a slice, please?

If you are new to my writing, allow me to fill you in on a bit about myself. I like weird religious stuff, tattoos, and creepy things that no one should really like. So I really like this Roadkill Cake.
