Standard (or Extended) Ruleset

Take a picture of something that might be a cake, but is not necessarily a cake.

I like it. Should be easy. 😉

Wish my name was Patty, then I could pull a Ken and take a selfie for this. :-)

I'm going with ... "I'm not interested, but y'all go ahead if you want" on this one.

I'm VERY interested in how this idea came into your head, though!
:D

And... my new soapbox is that... you can't take a picture... unless you steal it from a wall or something.

We take photographs or photos.

I used to say "pictures" until I started a photography business and realized that I sounded unprofessional calling them pictures.

Agreed.

There are VERY realistic cakes out there. But... that's a VERY specific challenge topic.

I stand by my initial response.

I can't make a cake that looks like a sheep.

And, I don't know anyone who can.

And... even if I knew someone who could make a cake that looks like a sheep, I wouldn't pay to have that person make a cake that looks like a sheep, just so I can take a photograph of the cake that looks like a sheep for a photo challenge.

But, that's just me. :D

The challenge title is a question. You can take a photo of a real sheep and let people guess if it is actually a cake or not. Surely, you have a sheep you can cover with frosting.

I want to be on the record as saying I do not steal pictures or photographs.

The first photographer I thought of was Annie Leibovitz... the first interview I found.... she says "picture" in reference to her photographs 4 times.

this is a very strange soapbox.
