The cake you imagine

So, in today's Mary Worth, the great cake-baking contest begins in the beautiful downtown Santa Royale Convention Center and local cable. Mary and her partner, the anxious hotelier John (who's working up to a heart attack from nervousness), are up against "younger and more experienced" cake-contest contestants, but they're sure their pink layer cake with lots of flowers in the icing will win.

I, however, am more intrigued by the pair of contestants at the last table there. They're clearly going for the minimalist cake - they don't even have any eggs or baking pans.
