Last month, when I was celebrating the appearance of my Cleopatra earrings in Sex and the City 2, gorgeous blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings gave me this congratulatory cake from Two Little Red Hens.
The cake was gone within 24 hours, but comedian Eddie Izzard’s “Cake or death?” routine has been stuck in my head ever since. It’s like having a song on mental repeat, but funnier. The sketch is especially highlarious when animated with Legos. Enjoy!
You should also check out the Lego version of Eddie Izzard’s routine about Darth Vader trying to order pasta in the Death Star canteen. My favorite line is about the wet trays: “Did you dry these in a rainforest?”
Oh, that is totally beautiful!
I just checked out the cake site and note that the place is in Yorkville. I only just learned that NY had a Yorkville – it’s a major neighbourhood in TO. Now I’ve seen it twice in 2 days!
Also, do tell what flavour cake and filling and icing you got. Is there buttercream inside? Could there be more buttercream on that cake?! Maybe custard? Is it chocolate.
I’m hungry.

I love him!!!!! you go shiny girl.
I know puppets make anything funny–’cause Jane Lane said so–but Legos work, too. ^^
I’d love to see John Cleese as the Inspector in this sketch, and the rest of the Pythons as those being questioned.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang that cake looks good!
Belated congrats on the SATC2 score. That is fantastic!

When I saw this post’s title in my blogger feed, I immediately was eager to see the good Eddie Izzardness. YES, I love that man (bustier or not). His stand-up in Lego form is brilliant!

Ha! I love Eddie Izzard & I miss “The Riches” ): Funny to hear that routine again, and see it with Lego’s! Not big on eating cake, but I sure like to look at the pretty ones, as this one was! I still think its fab that you got those stunners in the film, and that I got to feel so special and wear a pair and be part of your big night! (My next purchase, I thinkie!) I wish loads more of opportunities like this (and even better) for you!

Any thing is 100% funnier with lego, I just saw the lego Harry Potter game so funny x
LOVE this Video!!!:)
Srsly, WHAT a cake! I have never baked one before in my life, so my awe at this one is multiplied by like a thousand xxx
Oh, the cake photo came out really good!
You’re going to have more pieces in more films and then we can have more cake… or chicken!
Eddie Izzard is a comic genius. You are a jewlery genius
Can I get cake that tastes of chicken?
WRT my blog post, showing the red lipstick on the blog would require posting my face, which would in turn sacrifice my anonymity.
Don’t worry about not getting it, the heat has slowed down my brain processes too

Holy Moses!
Miss J thought that was butter on top and that she was having visions of what heaven must be like.
I lurve Eddie Izzard and had no clue about this cult of lego animation. I’ll be on youtube for a while.
Cute cake!

Damn, pretty cakes are the perfect combination of beauty and yumminess. Eddie Izzard is such a kick.
that cake doesn’t just look good, it looks so pretty i’d be sad to eat it!
OMG! That’s not cake, that’s art!
I adore Eddie Izzard, I haven’t seen it animated with lego though, so thanks for that!

What a gorgeous cake!!
Amazing cake, what a sweet thing to do!
YES!!!!! Eddie Izzard!!! I LOVE LOOOOOOVE Death Star Canteen. Your cake looks pretty cute and delicious.
I put my status as “Cake or Death” and a bunch of people were like “Cake! Ooh I love cake!” but no one got it was Eddie Izzard. So I was sad.
Haha! The skit is stuck in my head too!
BUT then I came here and it was all better
I’ve always thought of cake as merely a vehicle for frosting. This one certainly delivers!
(I’m one of those people who always wants a corner piece with flowers.)
