I've noticed that when someone asks for help thinking up an idea for a cake, people come back with links to all sorts of cakes from bakeries, people's websites, etc. I was just wondering, besides cc (which has lots of great ideas in the gallery), how do you search for pics of cakes?

I mostly search for cakes on google image search other than the cc gallery.

Yes, google image is a great way to find cakes photos, or any other photos for that matter! Check it out: http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q=
If you want a great list of cake galleries I have compiled a list of 26 of my favorite links on each of my cake sites... see links below.
