Creation museum’s Adam has a double life

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The man picked as Adam by a museum based on the Bible’s version of Earth’s history led quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a line of clothing with an explicit mascot. Registration records show that Eric Linden, who portrays Adam taking his first breath in a film at the newly opened Creation Museum, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat. He has been pictured there, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo. Linden, a graphic designer, model and actor who grew up in Columbus, also sells clothing for SFX International, whose initials appear on clothing to spell “SEX” from afar and serve as an abbreviation for its mascot, who promotes “free love,” “pleasure” and “Thrillz.” The museum’s operators, informed Thursday by The Associated Press of Linden’s online appearances, acted swiftly to suspend airing of the 40-second video in which he appeared.

Business Offers Chance To Rent Fake Wedding Cakes

That’s right — a new business allows couples to rent decorated plastic foam wedding cakes for less than half the cost of the same cake made from scratch.

“They’re covered in exactly what a real cake would be covered in — fondant and gum paste,” said Kimberly Aya, owner of Fun Cakes. “The only difference is the inside. Nobody can tell.”

Aya did her research and launched cakerental.com in March. Working in fondant and gum paste as opposed to traditional frosting makes the cakes durable and reusable, she said.

“That frosting will last forever,” she said. “I keep them all covered up in plastic bags to keep them all dust free.”

Aya has a secret spot on the cake reserved for one real slice of cake for the bride and groom. It is slipped into place, at the base layer and under the fondant sugar paste frosting.

“So they can cut that at the ceremony and feed each other wedding cake,” she said.

And normally, the cake then is wheeled to the kitchen to have it cut and served. So guests don’t need to know the rest of the cake was fake.
