June is a time for celebration, and with Broadway fans all over the country getting married, graduating, celebrating Father’s Day, having impromptu barbecues and of course, making parole, we think you deserve a sweet treat. After hours of internet research, Broadway.com is highlighting the most impressive, silliest and weirdest Broadway-themed cake creations we could we could find. Check 'em out!
Wicked
Although we’re not sure how much this Elphie looks like Idina Menzel, she certainly defies gravity in this three-tiered treat by Anne Arvin. Created for a Wicked fanatic’s 21st birthday, the bottom tier is decorated with flying monkeys and decorated with green icing flowers.
The Phantom of the Opera
Cakes featuring the Angel of Music are pretty basic stuff—what, you didn’t have a Phantom cake for your 12th birthday party? Don’t lie. But this treat by Toronto's For the Love of Cake featuring a very smiley masked man really takes the, uh... You know.
Newsies
How adorable is this Newsies birthday cake adorned with teeny papes? This obviously homemade treat gets an “A” for creativity—although we wish it included some edible photos of Jeremy Jordan and Corey Cott.
The Lion King
He’s gonna be a mighty king! What three-year-old wouldn’t want this delicious bug-covered ode to The Lion King? Pumbaa looks a little squished down there, but hey, he’s just gonna get devoured anyway.
Les Miserables
One day more! Nothing says “Happy Graduation” like the aftermath of the June Rebellion of 1832. This clearly homemade (but very fun) Les Miz cake uses pretzel rods as barricades, and features Enjolras in what appears to be football shoulder pads.
Aladdin
Four-year-old Anissa is one lucky girl—she got a gorgeous Aladdin cake for her birthday! We wonder if a tap-dancing, Tony-winning James Monroe Iglehart comes out of that magic lamp when you rub it.
The Book of Mormon
Show your Book of Mormon-obsesed pal you care with this clever sheet cake. (If you're thinking of sneaking into the kitchen and binge-eating the whole thing yourself, just turn those cravings off like a light switch.)
Kinky Boots
Sex isn't in the heel—it's in the frosting in this cake by Ron Ben-Israel. There's only one problem: We're not exactly sure how you slice a piece of this gorgeous dessert and eat it. Lola? Help!
Chicago
Celebrate your release from jail with this delectable and sexy Chicago creation. It's got everything: metal bars, legs, inexplicable poppies... This looks illegally delicious.
Mamma Mia!
We don’t know many six-year-olds who would request a Mamma Mia! birthday cake, but hey, let’s get her started on the Broadway path early. This cake evokes the Greek Isles, and—damn it, now we’re going to have “Super Trouper” stuck in our heads for the rest of the day. Thanks a lot, Crystal.
