Sunday Sweets: 11 Magical Castle Cakes

Whether they're made of sand, stone, or ice, there's just something magical about castles. So no wonder castle cakes are big - often literally! - these days.

From full-grown elegance:

To childlike charm:

And how perfect is this sand castle for a beach wedding?

A pretty pastel number:

I love the metallic shimmer on those turrets.

Anyone planning a Harry Potter movie marathon?

If so, then do I have the cake for you:

In fact, I think this next one might be Hogwarts, too:

(By Mother and Me Creative Cakes)

Plus it lights up!

Of course, we can't talk castles without including Disneyland's:

(By Cuteology Cakes)

Or Disney World's!

This wedding design is one of the prettiest I've seen yet:

And at first I thought this one was a ceramic sculpture:

Sometimes castle cakes can look a little drab, but those warm golds and purple/fuchsias are perfection.

And finally, the grandest castle cake I've ever seen, served just two months ago at a wedding in Jakarta:

WOWIE.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Oh hey, if you're shopping online this week, remember to check out my Amazon shop front! I have lists of funny gifts and clothes and toys and such that might help inspire you for those hard-to-buy-for types:

Clippy Branches Out

Tonight we're gonna party like it is 1960's Hippie Party Theme!

"Ahola, Tim!"
"Ahol.. what?"
"AHOLATTA BEACH TURDS."

"That... doesn't really make sense."
"It makes aholatta sense, Tim. AHOLATTA."

Remember Clippy, that annoying Microsoft Word paperclip?

Apparently we all told him to leave one too many times:

Tree what I did there?

"It looks like you're buying a cake! I will make you regret ever opening this bakery window."

And finally, if you're looking to get an intentional Cake Wreck for a friend's birthday: BEWARE.

You'll probably still get a wreck, of course - just not the way you intended. (Sorry, Alyson.)

Thanks to Paige H., Amanda K., Carolyn L., & Alyson A. for the wreck-ception.
