Ah, Instagram. We love it and hate it all at the same time. Love it because, well, Instagram. And hate it because it's rammed so many changes down our throat that we don't even know how to use it anymore.

But one baker was shocked to find out that her mother's page was disabled because the app thought she posted a BOOB.

Yep, chef Fiona Moseley tweeted on Monday that her mam's account was shut down because of pornographic content… But, really it was just an Easter cake.

According to Mashable, Fiona's mam appealed the decision at first because she hadn't a notion why her IG was shut down in the first place. They messaged her back saying that she'd violated community guidelines and the app "disables accounts that post content that is sexually suggestive or contains nudity."

The site claims that the day after, IG realised the mistake and reactivated her account. What an ordeal for a little bit of cake!

If you dreamed of living in a castle someday, then feast your eyes on this.

Not only is this a pretty pink castle fit for a princess (or queen, whatever you prefer), it's also made entirely out of cake.

Yep, CAKE. And icing, and sweets and cherries. Yum.

The exhibit, which is titled Break Bread, is a wonderful dessert art installation, featuring six rooms, cake sculptures, a Cirque Du Soleil-themed bar and a chandelier made out of hard sweets. It also has a mind-blowing amount of pink icing on the inside.

BRB.. we're pretty much set on booking tickets to LA now.

Forget your Mary Berry-approved three-tier showstopper cakes, people. One US food blogger knows where it's at when it comes to enviable baking, and she's got the Instagram account to prove it.

Bake a cake. Decorate that cake with some killer Drake lyrics. Eat that cake. Repeat.

LA-based Joy Wilson has been doing her thing over at Joy The Baker for eight years now, and with a host of celeb fans including both Taylor Swift AND Emma Stone, it's safe to say she's got the whole blogging-as-a-career thing down.

But now she's expanded her reach with a little side project, Drake On Cake.

The account, which does exactly what it says on the tin – puts Drake lyrics on decadently delicious cakes – already has a whopping 62k followers and counting.

So next time you're planning a party cake with a difference, take a leaf out of Joy's book. From the explicit…

…To the downright inspirational…

…Drake On Cake is giving us LIFE.

Scientists the world over were celebrating yesterday after NASA finally confirmed some pretty huge news – that the gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago do indeed exist.

As with any signifcant piece of scientific research, the discovery was embargoed from the media until an official release was sent out yesterday afternoon.

But one scientist based at NASA's Flight Centre in Maryland got a little over-excited, and broke the news to the world 16 minutes she was meant to… via a picture of cake.

Yup, the folks at NASA had a specially iced cake commissioned for their celebration day, with the words "Here's to the first direct detection of gravitational waves" written on it.

Unfortunately for NASA, Erin Ryan happens to be followed on Twitter by both the Washington Post and the NPR (National Public Radio). Oops.

Bizarrely, this is not the first time poor Erin has broken an embargo via a picture of cake – which could explain why she has such a host of media followers on Twitter.

Back in 2013, Erin tweeted a snap of an (albeit half-eaten) cake celebrating the discovery of a chemical called propene on one of Saturn's moons.

She admitted to the Washington Post yesterday that her employer advised her "to maybe chill with the tweeting for a week or so" after the original cake-leak in 2013… but we kinda hope she never stops.

We all know that Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne are BFF's and we also know that they like to affectionally nickname themselves CaKe (Ca for Cara and Ke for Kendall, geddit?).

In fact, their nickname has taken off so much they were even snapped sporting CaKe t-shirts over the summer and it seems that someone figured it would be a good idea to officially make the high fashion duo's brand a thing. 

And we reckon it is going to seriously take off. 

And after trade marking their combined name earlier this year, the duo have revealed that they are looking to design and create a fashion collection encompassing their combined style, a source has told the Sun. 

"They both see it as a bit of fun but are secretly confident it will do well." 

The pair debuted the label at Glastonbury this year on Kendall's Instagram while the super model pair were attending Kanye West's epic set at the festival. 

 

still can't hear #Glastonbury #CaKe

Kendall and Cara wore plain black t-shirts emblazoned with CaKe Tour in white writing.

According to the source, Kendall is the driving force behind the brand. The duo have reportedly already designed hats and t-shirts but have every intention to expand into a full range of garments in the future. 

The collection is to be sold in both the US and the UK as well as online. 

We reckon these two are onto a winner here.

If you're still feeling a bit hungover and headachey from New Year's celebrations, you might want to wait a while before watching this.

Some wily baker in the US has made a total mind-bender of a cake – one that changes colour completely as it is turned around.

It starts off as yellow, orange and pink, as seen above, but when spun around on its plate it becomes purple blue and yellow.

WHAAAT.

You can watch the video in full here, shared by YouTube baker Charlotte Sometimes.

While Charlotte has yet to offer any explanation as to how the head-melting cake came out, some commenters have stepped in to spoil the illusion. It seems the cake has simply been sprayed with different colours of dye from opposite angles.

"Make the edging design you want, then take one side of the cake and spray from a straight angle on the cake, so that the colour ends up on one side of the ridges alone," wrote one commenter.

"Spray the colours you want, then spin the cake around and do the same on the opposite side. You are working with the ridges so that you get one colour on one side of the ridge and another on the other side."

However another commenter added that the edible spray paint used can sometimes "smell terrible"… so maybe it's best to stick with that Chocolate Swiss Roll for now.

For many of us, all we need for a dreary mid-week evening to improve massively is a sweet treat.

Here at SHEmazing! we can be of the belief that cake and a good cup of tea can be responsible for making a bad day infinitely better. Sometimes you just need to treat yourself. 

The only down side can be that often our favourite snacks can leave us feeling a little bit guilty, but when we think of comfort food kale smoothies are not exactly top of the list.

This chocolate and peanut butter cake however sounds like exactly what we want. 

Not only is this absolutely delicious (trust us, we have sampled a slice or three) but the recipe comes from #fitspo queen Kayla Itsines. You can enjoy this cake absolutely guilt-free and by including protein you're actually adding important nutrients in your diet. 

Ingredients:
Crust:
½ cup cashews
½ cup walnuts
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 dates, pitted
2 Tbs Cacao Powder

Filling:
½ cup of natural peanut butter
2 scoops of Whey Protein Isolate (Peanut flavoured) or 60g of powdered peanut butter
½ cup  Cottage Cheese
½ cup natural yogurt
2 Tbs Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Coconut Oil
2 Tbs Maple Syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping:
2 tbs coconut oil, melted, 1 tbs maple syrup, 2 tbs raw cacao powder and 1 tsp vanilla.

Directions:

  1. Combine all crust ingredients together in a food processor until they form a crumble and then put it in a pan.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese, peanut butter and natural yoghurt together. Add in the remaining filling ingredients.
  3. Make the chocolate topping by combining all ingredients together.
  4. Pour the filling mixture on top of the crust. Smooth down with a spatula and pour over chocolate topping. Chill for one hour.
  5. After the pie has chilled, take it out and remove from the pan.
  6. Eat all of the cake!

We love avocados and we also loved baked. We really love when we can combine two things which we absolutely love and end up with something even more delicious.

There is also the added bonus of knowing that by incorporating avocados into our baked goods, we’re technically being healthy. 

Avocados are the good kind of fat you need, and that makes us happy. So here’s a list of some the best ways to incorporate avocados into your baking routine. Trust us, you won’t even realise you’re eating healthy because these desserts are magical.

It's true, we love cake more than life itself (if you seen SHEmazing! HQ and our daily cake intake, you'd know what we're talking about).

So, it was a complete shocker when we found out that we've all been cutting cake wrong our whole lives.

As it turns out, experts believe that you shouldn't cut a circular cake into wedges as it exposes the sponge to air which makes it dry out quicker. 

According to The Mirror, IFLScience has revealed a more scientific way to cut our sponges.

First of all, you have to cut the cake into quarters. Next, you cut the number of slices you want, working from the middle and following the line up. 

Once you've cut the piece you want, then push back the cake together to prevent any moisture loss. 

So, there you go! Keeping your cake fresh and moist for longer just got a whole lot easier!

Auto-correct fails have happened to the best of us. But usually these fails go no further than a text between friends or your Iphone suggesting that everything is 'ducking' this and 'ducking' that. 

This time auto-correct taking on it's own meaning of what you're trying to say had some consequences. A birthday cake in fact. 

This cake was designed for someone's 21st birthday but when it arrived they realised that auto-correct may have interfered with the design. 

"My mum ordered a cake for my sisters bd n asked for a blond girl on top but it autocorrected to blind n we got this"

Absolutely gas.

In a highly dubious study conducted by Mr Kipling for National Cake Week, it was found that 16% of women (and 9% of men) would pick a slice of their favourite cake over ever having sex again.

These people either have really bad sex lives or an incredible recipe for cake.

The same study found that a quarter of people would give up wine, Facebook or Twitter for a slice of cake, and 13% would abandon their phone or their favourite TV show.

Mr Kipling also found that people use cake for nefarious purposes. One in eight of us have brought cake into the office just to get on the boss’ good side, and 11% of men have tried to win a girl's heart with cake.

If you did that survey about chocolate, it would go up to 100%.

A spokesperson for Mr Kipling said that “cake is one of the things the nation simply cannot live without, even if it’s just a little treat every now and then.”

Well they obviously have no ulterior motive in finding that cake is more important than life, so lets just take this study at face value.
