"It’s only natural for someone to receive a cake on their birthday, and the notorious Wu-Tang Clan are no exception. That’s exactly why Amirah Kassem, who runs the New York baking company Flour Shop, has created a series of mind-blowing cakes to celebrate the group’s 20th birthday.

The collections is called C.R.E.A.M.: Cake Rules Everything Around Me, and features important aspects of the band’s history that Kassem can relate to personally, “each piece was inspired by things that represent Wu-Tang to me,” she told FastCoDesign."


Some of the ideas that made the cut were a golden Killa Beehive cake, a frosted Wu-Tang sword, a Shaolin shadowboxer, and an edible Chinese takeout box that features the Wu Tang Clan logo. You can see some more photographs of the cakes that were taken by Henry Hargreaves in the gallery below.

The exhibition of Cake Rules Everything Around Me opened November 13 at Wallplay (118 Orchard Street). It’s part of a larger multi-media group exhibition at the gallery entitled “Wu-Tang Hybrid Arts” (or “WU HA”), which runs through December 9. “WU HA” will open as a Japanese American National Museum exhibition in September of 2014.

More images from the exhibit and words from the artist can be seen over at fastsodesign.
