Souvenirs\\ The Most Heavy Metal Birthday Cake Ever

A heavy metal fan from Washington, D.C. by the name of Bryan Buchanan was surprised with "the most metal birthday cake ever" this past weekend.

Bryan, who just turned 30, tells BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "It's the best cake I've ever seen, let alone received!"

Although Bryan's girlfriend, Vanessa, came up with the design, the cake was actually made by Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, Maryland.

According to a posting on the Charm City Cakes web site, the company "was started in March of 2000 when Chef Duff had tired of wandering the country and decided to settle in Baltimore. At first, Chef Duff was just making a few cakes for friends and family, but as word got out about his uncommon creations, business picked up fast. In March of 2002, Chef Duff was getting so inundated with cake orders that he decided to fling off the oppression of his day job and make cake baking his full-time gig! He quickly outgrew his home kitchen and two bakeries; in August of 2005 he bought a 6,000-square-foot cake compound in Remington. Today, Charm City Cakes has grown to a staff of eleven friends who make cakes, listen to music, and eat a lot of sushi."
