      Yes! Success! Awesome!

      I posted my version on my blog, but this is much better. The credit for finding the perfect cupcake for the prime minister, however, still rests with me.

      Sweet.

    3. Jarvik7 Says:

      Excellent

    4. Curzon Says:

      Is that MF original?

    5. Curzon Says:

      because if so you should add something to the pic to show your ownership, like I always do, e.g. http://cominganarchy.com/2009/02/18/the-final-frontier-antarctica/

    6. Roy Berman Says:

      Of course it is! I threw it together last night just before bed.

    7. Roy Berman Says:

      Ah, good idea. I should do that.

    8. Jade Oc Says:

      Cute. I think the cupcake should be at a different angle though – we’re seeing Aso from below, in a dramatic pose, but the cake from the top. But still fun.

    9. Roy Berman Says:

      If I actually had a cupcake I would take a photo at the right angle instead of relying on one nabbed off the web. And then, of course, eat the cupcake.

    10. Jade Oc Says:

      What would be coolest is to get a cupcake, hold it in your hand and photograph it from the same angle, then photoshop it in, perhaps hand and all.

    11. Roy Berman Says:

      And if I was back home in New Jersey I could get my hands on a cupcake like that in minutes. However, here in Kyoto…

    12. Jade Oc Says:

      Well, what about a muffin from Mr Donuts? Or a slice of actual cake? I’m tempted to try this myself – especially as I get to eat the muffin….

    13. Ken Says:

      Nice one.

    14. Curzon Says:

      Yeah, I think a slice of cake would be best.

    15. Benjamin Says:

      don’t forget 刑期 and 軽機

    16. Jade Oc Says:

      Here is what I came up with….

      Did my URL show up?

    18. Roy Berman Says:

      Any comment with a URL gets flagged for spam moderation so they take some time to appear. Nice work though! Anyone else want to try?

    19. Benjamin Says:

      Jade, that is great!

    20. Jade Oc Says:

      I tell ya, scouring the net for pics of cakes sure made me hungry….
