Can a cake be iconic?
Yes, we say it can. And this cake is definitely one that will live in our hearts.
The season five episode of

It’s a great moment, and something we wish people would do for us when they bake.
Animation writer Alan Denton posted on Twitter that his wife perfectly recreated this great cake for his birthday.

Simpsons writer Bill Oakley tweeted his approval.
