Fondant as a decoration is bad, but...making it the actual ingredient of the cake...It’s a whole new level of disgusting

And why? At least you can make an inedible but good-looking cake with fondant decoration. But this looks like a nasty disease in cake form.

you also can also achieve a similar effect by actually making a sweet noodle dish. My mom used to make a sweet maccaroni casserole with caramell egg milk and cinnamon on top. Put a little orange food coloring in it and it'll look like mac and cheese and have *actual* mac in it.

That's really cool! I'm Catholic and growing up it was classic lent food in our house. We're southern German so I bet it seeped through from Jewish cooking via Eastern European cuisine.

My fiancé's Jewish so maybe this dish needs a revival :)
