Rat Cake

This is strange sounding, I know, but this cake totally made sense in context.  We were bidding farewell to one manager and welcoming another to a program at work that primarily does research on lab rats.  Everyone attending the party also worked in the lab, so this made sense.  Everyone was delighted by it and the cake was quite a hit.  The rat is a stuffed animal and the shavings are crushed up ice cream cones.
