Wow....this is a little odd.
I just got contacted by a customer who wants a cake for a co-worker who just underwent brain surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumor. So, she wants a 3d brain cake. Cool, I can do that, no problem. Then, she wants something baked inside the cake so they themselves can do an operation on the cake and carve it out!!!!!! WHAT???? She mentioned like one of those victorian charms, or just something out of the ordinary.
Any ideas of what to bake into the cake?
I have a feeling this is going to be one weird cake. 
That makes me think of the KIng's Cakes at Mardigra with the little babies or cherubs. It needs to be food and temperature safe. Sounds interesting. I would want to play hide the hershey's kiss. But maybe one of those ribbon style charms or something.
You can put any metal object or anything that doesn't melt, just wrap in tinfoil. We are Greek and we have a special pita we make for Easter and we put money wrapped in tin foil. Whoever finds it has a lucky year. But I must say it does sound a bit odd 
Hopefully she has a good sense of humour 
Sounds fun......the finding something special in teh cake idea that is....not the brain surgery on cake thing. That is just wierd! Good luck!

I think one of those little guardian angel pins or something along those lines would be nice. I agree you should bake the cake and then cut out a small piece , place the object wrapped in foil, then replace the cake and frost.
I, too, hope she has a sense of humor about it.
You could bake it regular and then cut a piece of cake out, stick something in and then put the cake back and ice.
That's a great idea. Although it would still need to be food safe you wouldn't have to worry about damaging the object during the baking process.
sounds like fun 
an odd sort of scavenger hunt or rather a better way to say it treasure hunt lol
sounds like a great way for your friend to turn something that had to have been quite scary to a way she can "conquer,battle and over come" in a more tangable way gives her a feeling of control over something she most likely felt not in control of
do pardon my bit of over freudianisms this morning.. school just started for my highschoolers yesterday and I'M the one still adjusting lol
I'm with Julzs. I'd bake the cake then insert the item before icing. I'm not too hot on the idea of baking something non edible in the cake itself. If the cake isn't going to sit a long time after it's iced I'd try not to wrap it in anything unless it was clear/colored plastic wrap or cellophane. I don't think I'd want anything wrapped in aluminum foil inside a cake for any length of time. I think it'd be more fun for the "patient" to be able to tell what it is when they remove it. Sounds like this could be fun, as long as it's not something that looks tumor like.
Haha, people are so odd! Neat ideas, though!
