No, really. They asked for Mickey Mouse... and got this. I honestly don't know if I should headdesk or applaud. Well played, baker. WELL PLAYED.

 

Thanks to Mike C., Adrian, Celeste C., & Jennifer T. for taking the Mickey out of us.

P.S. Have you seen the Toy Story Alien figures dresses as other Pixar characters?? Because I just found these and I'm losing my mind.

Sunday Sweets Celebrates Mid-Century Modern

Any Mid-Century Modern fans out there? I didn't think I was 'til I started following a few interior design folks online, and now I'm really warming up to the retro atomic-era style.

It also helps when I find cakes like this!

My favorite color combo in sweet starburst patterns? SIGN ME UP.

This one reminds me of the colorful wallpapers you see in retro kitchens, the kind where the refrigerator is a matching teal:

And look at this sweet grid pattern:

I like the succulents instead of flowers!

This wedding had a vintage Pan-Am travel theme, so talk about the perfect cake stand:

This blue and yellow are so cheerful together, right?

More happy colors and shapes with this kid's cake:

Anyone have original terrazzo floors in their house? (Mine was built in '64, so we do.) This mid-century staple seems to be coming back, both for floors AND for cake:

The terrazzo in my house is boring gray, but our original bathtub and sink were exactly this shade of pink!

Here's a stunning minimalist starburst:

And I like the darker jewel tones in this one:

This one feels very Mary Blair to me:

(Featured here, but the baker isn't credited. Anyone know?)

Mary Blair was the artist and designer behind Disney's Small World ride. Look her up if you've never seen her art, it's ahhhhh-mazing - just like this cake!

In fact, I'm going to end with my favorite Small World-inspired cake, since it combines Mid-Century Modern and a little Disney magic:

That's a combination worth singing about!

Hope these Sweets made you smile. Happy Sunday!

Speaking of Mary Blair and Small World, look at these cute ears!
