Sunday Sweets: 10 Cakes With Curtain Calls

You know I love a good cake trend, and here's one that has it all: drama, style, and most importantly, a plethora of pun potential.

Here, let me set the stage:

(Elysia Root Cakes, Chicago)

Eh? EH?

Yep, if all the world's a stage, then the world is now that much sweeter... and edible. 

K, not sure that metaphor is working, but my point is these things are awesome. They combine our love of cake with our love of miniatures, because who wouldn't squeal over a tiny table of tea cakes set inside another cake?

(Baker unknown. Anyone?)

EEEEEEEEEE

My favorite thing about this style (besides everything) is that you get a massive cake even if you don't need to feed a massive crowd. Thanks to the high stages embedded inside, these cakes have legs for days.

 (Madl Creations, Belgium)

Only fitting for the Moulin Rouge!

And of course every stage needs proper lighting:

(Le Novelle Cake, Indonesia)

OooOOOoooh.

I don't see many steampunk cakes anymore, but I still love the style. The gathered skirts! The tiny top hat!

Not all of these are stages per se; some have tiny rooms instead.

(Dmytrii Puga, Ukraine)

This is setting off my long-buried desires for a dollhouse, y'all. Look at the wallpaper! And that teeny door!

Here's a more shallow stage, so it doesn't have to replace all the cake in the middle tier:

(Sugar Street Studios, United Kingdom)

Those flowers growing up from the base are so pretty!

And another musical number:

(Mladman Cakes, Bulgaria)

A lot of these have tiny chandeliers inside, but I like the spray of pearls instead.

I'm not sure if this counts as a stage cake since it goes all the way through, but... how cool is this?

(Baker unknown. Help!)

It's like a secret chamber in there! And what a fun idea to put the wedding topper INSIDE the cake. Love it.

For this one a hand-painted castle takes center stage:

(CakeHeads, Online)

Aww, look at the tiny thrown roses!

 And finally, let's close the curtains with a tale as old as time:

(Bonboni Cake, Egypt)

What a beauty.

Hope these gave you a smile, and your Sunday is extra Sweet!

Oooh, have you see those miniature DIY kits that come with working lights and tons of tiny accessories? Because omigosh, you guys, there's a little bakery:

Look at all the teeny cakes!

 DIY Miniature House Kit

This kit comes with everything you need to make the whole room for less than $20. Oooooh. That's dangerous, is what that is.  :D

Good Luck With That, Susan’s Husband

Oh what a difference a missing "e" can make:

[sound of bomb dropping]
[followed by a THUMP]

QUICK GUESS WHAT THIS IS:

Or, if you're like me, first get distracted trying to read the writing, then wonder why there are Hello Kitty boobs over "E linzsbath", and then refuse to believe Amy W. when she says it's a roller skate.

Ok, I guess now I see it.

BUT STILL.

They asked for a pizza cookie cake:

Not gonna lie: part of me wishes we were looking at a single slice right now.

Because that'd be a "pizza cake." EH? EH???

At least Cookie Monster gets me.

Susan's husband asked the bakery to draw a pregnant woman on her birthday cake. Now, I assume this is because Susan is pregnant, but just to be safe, NOBODY ASK. [meaningful glare]

Anyway, I've been staring at this for ages, and I still have no idea what's going on here:

It's like a cow... arm chair?

Definitely a cow something, anyway.

So, hey, good luck with that, Susan's husband.

I've seen so many butchered peace signs on cakes that I'm starting to suspect someone changed it without telling us. The prime suspect being Mercedes Benz, of course:

Gosh, if only bakers had a reference on hand to copy! You know, something close by, and in the same colors, and clearly visible...

OH NEVER MIND

Peace out to Janie B., Amy W., Laura Y., Linda M., Susan L., Vanya C., & Kerri R..

Oh hey, I think I found what Susan's baker was trying to draw:

It's an inflatable cow bouncy chair for your kids - though I kind of wish they came in my size!
