    If you’re unfamiliar with the history of the Donner Party it’s a fascinating, if gruesome, read. Of the 83 members of the Donner Party who were trapped in the mountains, 45 survived to reach California. Some became quite successful there.

    There were 90 wagons in the train and they were trying a newly conceived route to California that obviously didn’t pan out well.

    Imagine taking a wrong turn in the wilderness and finding that you’ve led 90 wagons into hard terrain and deep woods. They were at times literally having to cut trees down to clear a path through dense woods for miles and miles. Horrible, slow going, and hard work.

    Assuming this isn’t just shopped, which it probably is… As a guy that bakes cakes from scratch a couple of times a year, two things:

    1. Props to whomever got that pattern into the cake, that couldn’t have been easy. Imagine: There’s a toroidal swastika in that cake.
    2. That’s one ugly-ass cake for having spent so much time on it.
