Alert foodie Freda informs us that "a face of Jesus" marble cake is on eBay UK, currently going for about 9GBP ( $18) with six days to go. Seems that someone was baking a cake for a child's birthday--when he/she went to slice it in half in order to frost middle and top, " I noticed a face looking out of the cake at me bearing a remarkable likeness to Jesus Christ. Realising the important nature of this discovery I have now frozen the cake to preserve it's religious significance."
The cake owner feels this is a sign right in line with the ecclesiastical grilled cheese, pretzel, etc, previously reported right here. One waggish eBay commenter suggested that with sugar being bad for us, surely Jesus should appear in a lettuce leaf or broccoli. The cake seller was not amused.
Mona Lisa, maybe? Modigliani/Picasso, maybe? Japanese Anime, maybe?
Huh, I think it looks like an alien slinking away in the desert with his profile outlined by the dark of an oddly located oak tree.

That's obviously an image of jesus' illegitimate brother Ramone. I'd say $18 was about right as long as it's still fresh.
I saw jesus in my cheesesteak sandwich the other day but I figured I'd try and take a couple bites to see if the image would morph into yoda for more cash.

The world has always had crazy people, but easy and instant communication makes it a lot more obvious -- and e-bay makes it possible for them to connect. If the picture above is an actual photo of the cheesecake in question, I think it looks more like a space-alien version of the Mona Lisa. Of course, it does make one wonder if any of the people who are finding Jesus in their food have ever looked for him someplace conventional, like a church.
