>> Since breaking on to the music scene in the early nineties, CAKE has not only survived, but thrived in a tumultuous industry where major labels have continued to merge themselves out of existence, indies are regaining power, and the average band's life span is a meager two albums. CAKE's distinctive brand of music has transcended scene and genre alike for over a decade, garnering the band several platinum records and a dedicated following. The band now brings forth a unique collection of "b-sides and rarities", their first release since 2004’s studio album "Pressure Chief". Songs on the album were originally sung by legendary singers such as Frank Sinatra, Barry White, Buck Owens, George Jones, Ozzy Osborne, and Kenny Rogers. The band has used these songs to find new creative elements within themselves, producing eloquently accomplished tracks that simultaneously maintain the band's own unique stamp. CAKE's "b-sides and rarities" comes complete with a collectible "scratch and sniff" CD package and features re-mixed and re-mastered tracks, plus an exclusive live bonus track of "War Pigs" with Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips. <<

Scratch and sniff cover! Scratch and sniff cover!

Does it smell like cake batter?

I finally got a copy of this, and the scent is overwhelming, even without scratching. Smells sorta like a cinnamon tea bag before brewing.

Anybody else get one? Do they all smell the same, or did they use different scents? Also, the print on mine is purple, rather than red as seen above. Are there other colors too?

My copy, ordered from the Cake website, has a tan cover with Cake spelled in a cream color. I've seen the purple one but my copy has no purple at all. I'm not sure what my scent is supposed to be. The sticker proclaims a scratch and sniff package but I don't smell much...

I've got the purple one...smells like grape to me. Grape Dimetapp elixir, to be exact.
