This Birthday Treat Turns Contaminated Waste Management into a Dessert

This nuclear site clean-up birthday cake creatively captures the celebration of a radioactive waste manager's birthday by personifying his work role into an edible dessert. The cake is transformed into a radioactive waste site with miniature edible characters working away at cleaning up the mess.

The cake is a design put together by Reddit user CentineI4 that captures what a day in the life of a nuclear waste manager might look like using food ingredients. The cake features an excavation site where hazardous materials are being pulled from the chocolate cake ground. The neon waste is formed out of yellow marzipan cylinder sweets. Miniature workers in the midst of excavating, bulldozers and cautionary signs complete the realism of the site.
