I love frosting not cake. How about is it frosting or toothpaste?

That's a great take, Gail - frosting truly is the best part of cake.

I would suggest a reversal - you can use whatever non-cake food you like to make something that looks like a cake vs. a real cake. The judge would then have to eat whatever they chose as the winner. My definition of "food" would be very loose and would include such things as edible insects, offal and human-grade dogfood. Let's raise the stakes on this cake-off!

That's an unexpected spin, Liza. Judges should have a stake in the contest - there should be consequences.

If you've ever owned a pet: "Is that poop?!"

I love it! And, poop certainly appeals to pre-teens, so that that target market would be on board.
