Sunday Sweets: Light & Airy Wedding Cakes

I've been stockpiling wedding pretties in my "to-post" folder, guys, and today is finally the day.

BEHOLD!

Would you call this metallic peach, or bright copper? I'm thinking peach.
Whichever, I love how light it is, and that bottom trim texture really intrigues me.

 

Speaking of texture:

Or how about these ombré spirals?

So much to love here!

 

Do you prefer Art Nouveau?

...or Art Deco?

I CAN'T CHOOSE.

 

Ooh, here's something different: ever seen ribbon embroidery?

Ribbon embroidery looks exactly like this, only you usually can't eat it. WOWIE. (How?!)

 

Another mind bender? This perfectly pieced mosaic:

This reminds me of the Moroccan wall fountain in Epcot. Just gorgeous.

 

A wonder in white:

This next one makes me think of poofy Marie Antoinette gowns and fine china teacups:

Doesn't that blue look like the softest suede? And look at the pearly sheen on the bottom tier! Plus there's the lace trim, the perfect bow, the teensy flowers...!!

 

At the opposite end of the style spectrum, I've got this bold, modern number:

Those vivid watercolors are singing my song. And I spy a Hidden Mickey in the blue ruffles - think that was intentional? :D

 

Let's wrap things up with a gloriously subtle beach theme:

I say "subtle" because it took me a while to spot all the elements! Starting from the bottom, there's sugar netting, a driftwood base, a sea urchin shell, a nautical rope heart, seashell "petals" (topped with pearls!), a fish scale pattern, and a coral topper!

I am in awe.

 

Hope you enjoyed the pretties! Happy Sunday!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

A Literal Fallacy

Chrystal brought in two photos for her friend's birthday cake, and asked the baker to put one pic on either side of the 32.

Which is exactly what the baker did:

Mickey and Minnie would like to welcome you to your post-apocalyptic vacation:

Because nothing puts the "get-away" in an "AHH, GET AWAY!!" quite like a giant bleeding rock tumor, am I right?

Since the time of the Carrot Jockeys we've all suspected wreckerators have a... unique... relationship with icing carrots - but that's a fallacy!

Sorry, I spelled that wrong. I meant, "That's a phallus - see?"

Seriously, look at that texture. TELL ME THAT'S NOT INTENTIONAL.

 

And speaking of texture: friends, minions, countrywomen... what in poo-smeared blazes is this?!

o.0

Well, on the bright side, at least we finally found a wreckerator who gives two sh*ts.

 

Thanks to Chrystal H., Mary Beth A., Andi C., & DeLoris N. for wiping out the competition.

P.S. I found a shirt for today's carrot baker. Because if you can depend on Amazon for anything, it's for oddly specific t-shirts:

"Just A Girl Who Loves Carrots"Tee

It comes in all colors at the link, in case purple's not your jam.
