So, what would be a funky looking dessert?

Apologies if I've missed anything momentous here the last few days, trying to keep up with the yard and helping sort out the stuff from my grandma's estate have really snarfed my happy-lurky time of late - but I Need YOU, flist!

Our youth group's annual dessert auction is coming up this next Sunday and we're ready to roll up our sleeves and come up with something that is both edible and interesting to bring a good price.  We haven't topped our cat-litter pan with crumbled edible 'litter' and tootsie-roll turds in it yet, but I'm willing to try. Maybe a Dalek cake? Sadly there are only a couple Whovians who would recognize them.

Ideas? Things you've seen done that don't involve fondant/ many pounds of frosting/ miraculous baking skills? Humor is good.

Thank you! I can't take credit for it. I was hunting for cake ideas and found a similar cake online. The location where I got married handled both the cake and the flowers as part of my package. They swore they could do anything I wanted, lol, so I showed them a photo and asked them if they could do it, and they said, sure! Unfortunately they had to do it twice, I found out after the fact. I guess it's challenging to get fondant the color of terra cotta. The first cake turned out too bright orangey.

It was great fun, though. We used terra cotta pots of flowers and small terra cotta trays with votive candles as our decorations (the reception was in a converted old dairy barn) so at one point as we were standing next to the cake, one of my bridesmaids asked me, "Where's the cake?". hee!

"Where's the cake?" Ha, wonderful! Camo cake!
