I Can't BB-Leave It

You know the problem with grapes? They're just so... grapey.

MUCH better.

(Yes, I know that's not cake. But funny grape signs ARE MY JAM.)

When possible, it's always nice to work in a good "f you" to a congratulatory cake:

Really keeps 'em guessing.

When Bakers Forget How Watermelons Work:

AKA, the "have you had your coffee yet?" test.

(How long did it take you? Be honest, now.)

I know a lot of people are back to school now, and lemme tell ya:

It wasn't a moment too soon.

And finally, since Rey had her moment in the spotlight earlier this week, let's turn to the oh-so-adorable BB-8.

THIS is the droid CW reader Low was looking for.

They see me rollin', they BB-h8tin'.

Thanks to Norma Jean, Tania L., Jennifer C., Peter D., & Low T. for recommending that documentary on how the Death Star was built. It was riveting.

(Truffle, Toronto)

It's Macrame! 

On wedding cakes.

(Fluffy Thoughts, Virginia)

WOW, y'all. WOW. (Yes, all edible!)

Here's a fun modern take:

(Erica O'Brien)

A few of these use actual macrame, but usually only on the topper like this.

Or this!

(Sophia Fox)

OooOOOooh.

Most of these use sugar work rope/string, though, so everything on the cake itself is all edible:

(Jelly Cake, UK)

Love how soft these colors are.

Seriously, can you believe this is edible??

(Lisa Herrera, Colorado)

More great texture:

(Sugar Pot, Australia)

And amazing colors:

(Jonathan Caleb, South Carolina)

Ohhh, I love those poppies.

This one's for the couple that really really REALLY loves macrame:

(Baker unknown, Found here)

Such a cool stand!

And one final gem that's a peachy keen dream:

The little sprigs all over are so sweet!

I hope these made you smile. Happy Sunday!
