Seeing as my [birthday is just around the corner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-debbie-birthday-cake) (hint hint!), I am now trying to decide what kind of cake I want. And I think I have just found it. The Elvis cake looks like the King, but hopefully won’t taste like him.

Seeing as the man subsisted on fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, I am hoping for maybe a low-key [chocolate or vanilla flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-old-school-cake). Anyway, the genius behind this cake included everything, from gold aviators to his rad hair, I am giving the Elvis cake a gold star.
