The Downside of Genetic Engineering cake by Megan Lallier-Barron

Description

After a couple of days of work, a fridge which dripped water on the cake, and two cameras which didn't work out (third one was a charm), my cake is now completed and tasty.

Trials included difficulty finding anything small enough to pipe the frosting through, and a moment of sadness during a supply run at the grocery store when the first thing I saw upon entering was a huge box of seedless watermelons. Those poor green-and-red orbs of deliciousness.

Good moments included the pattern of the watermelons, which I was pretty happy with, and the immense sugar rush from eating so many layers of sweet, sweet frosting in one mouthful.

Now let's have a moment of silence for the seedless couple. I wonder if fruit can adopt.
