Sunday Sweets Goes Shopkins

I may be the last person on this particular bandwagon, but I was watching that new organizing show on Netflix when I heard Neil Patrick Harris mention "Shopkins" toys, so of course I had to google.

Y'ALL. Apparently my taste is in line with 2-6 year-olds (no surprise there) because these toys are so cute!

(Lori's Sweet Cakes, Canada)

Not only that, there are so many squee-worthy Shopkins cakes out there:

(Cake A Chance On Belinda, Tasmania)

C'mon. This is adorable even you don't know what Shopkins are, right?

Most Shopkins seem to be food:

Although there's also a random lipstick that's pretty popular:

(De La Creme Creative Studio, Missouri)

They're very Kawaii, with bright pastels and sweet cartoony faces:

(Little Cherry Cake Co, UK)
It's hard not to smile when you look at this!

I love the shading on this one:

(Cookie Vonster, Vancouver)

Each cookie is its own little painting!

And here's a cupcake castle:

(Rose Dream Cakes, California)

This popcorn might be my favorite:

(Crumbs and Candles, UK)

Or wait, maybe the cake?

(Mandy's Sweets, Florida)

These colors make me happy. :)

And finally, here's a gravity-defying design that really... ::sunglasses:: ... stacks up:

(Cakes By Raewyn, Australia)
Awwww yeah. So sweet!

I hope these made you smile, gang, and that your week is as sweet as a stack of Shopkins.

I went looking for the actual Shopkins miniatures and was immediately overwhelmed. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY, YOU GUYS. But look what else I found:

Adorable Shopkins Pillow Plushies! D'awwwwww.
Does anyone want us to redo their kids' room in Shopkins theme? I really want to build a big fruit cart/grocery mart play place full of these pillows.

The Sum Of All Tiers

It's "Math Story Telling Day," minions, but I don't see many equations on cakes. I do see a lot of numbers, though, and hoo boy, do those tell some stories.

Stories of reflection:

...and confusion:

Stories of time-travel!

(In the future, "tlera" will be the new "Jennifer." YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.)

And stories of ominous foreshadowing:

That evil smiley face says you better watch out, 1st Trent. Just ask 71th Donna:

Then there's the tragic tale of kicking Carol while she's down:

Harsh.

But on the bright side, some people are celebrating the little things in life:

Like happy poops.

That reminds me: we all know about #1 and #2, but apparently #3 is the dirtiest:
