Human Breast Milk Round III
It seems the world has gone breast milk crazy. Up until very recently, there was very little in the way of human breast milk products.

“Le” running shoe
Just thought we’d give good ol’ Cake Boss a run for his money… or try at least! The cake is completely edible, constructed from a simple chocolate génoise filled with chocolate buttercream…. oh and it feeds 30 people easily!
