 Like Shayna, I perceived your cakes as being a "remix" of the "original".  However, for me this did not translate into a "parody", as Anne mentioned. Do all "remixes" have to be "parodies"? And if your second cake was a parody of the first, what aspect of the first cake is it parodying?  To me a remix is an alternate version of something; one that consists of adding, or subtracting elements. So I consider the second cake to be a remix of the first, because it seemed like you added some ingredients to the cake, and might have refrained from adding others! This is just my interpretation..and  a novice one at that....seeing as i cannot seem to cook for the life of me..

but on another note, I really liked the sweet, nutty taste of the second cake! It really worked out well.
