Peppa Porker

Meet Peppa Pig:

She's the star of a kid's show in Britain, and looks like a toddler's drawing of a pink hairdryer with ears - or an anatomically incorrect gallbladder.

Anyway, people send me pictures of Peppa cakes all the time, mostly because they can't believe this is how she's actually supposed to look:

Well, minus the melty black eyes, I mean.

And the melty, blood-red dress...

Yeeeah.

Anyway, with all these cakes coming in, imagine my delight when someone finally sent me a Peppa wreck that is actually wrecky in a non-melty way.

Not only that, you could say this wreck's a real porker:

Yessir, if you're craving sausage, then these cookies will hit the spot, IF you know what I mean. [wink wink]

See, I'm saying these cookies put the "oinks" in "boinks." [nudge nudge]

I'm saying these cookies take their ham with a side of jelly. [eyebrow waggle]

I'm saying this little piggy went to market, and totally looks like a floppy man-dong.

Oops.

Uh... too much?

Thanks to Belinda B., Jessica H., Jo D., & J-La for the sooieeee(t) finds.

And because Amazon never fails to know just what I need for Thanksgiving dinner with my relatives:

Inflatable Pig Costume

Funnily enough, the Amazon listing actually says this is a Christmas costume.

…

OOHHHH the Christmas Story. Okay, now I get it.

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?

(By Bobbette and Belle)

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:

(By The Vagabond Baker)

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!
