They asked for cupcakes with the Batman logo:

Renee wanted a number 18 on each of her cupcakes:

Which, technically, she kind of got?

Only a true prefessional can spot the oh-so-subtle signs of a bakery cleaning out their flotsam bin:

OH-SO-SUBTLE, I say.

 

And finally, I just found your new ice breaker for parties:

GUESS WHAT THIS IS:

If you guessed "a baby in a crib wearing a Christening gown" then, well, let's be honest: there's no way you guessed that.

Silvia, I'd say next time just order the pacifier design, but only because we all know how that'd end up, and I have some great puns lined up for it. [evil grin]

 

Thanks to Bridget L., Renee D., Emily B., Kida, & Silvia L. for rockin' the cradle of "you've-gotta-be-kidding-me." Now quick, everyone, go print out that cookie picture for your next holiday party!

P.S. Speaking of pacifiers, I mustache you a question:

HipsterKid Mustachifier Pacifiers

Do you prefer the Cowboy or the Gentleman? :D

Sunday Sweets: Jen's Happy Cakes

I am forever hunting down the best cakes for Sunday Sweets, but a lot of my favorites just don't fit any particular theme; they just plain make me happy. So today, no theme; just Happy Jen Cakes!

Love the jewelry-like border, the glitzy gold leaf, and the subtle ombré fade in the middle tier. But mostly? I love that teal.

 

And over on the other side of the color wheel:

Orangey goodness! I think the hexagons are tinted sugar glass, which is perfect with the clear lucite base.

Is it a coincidence that the first two cakes today happen to be my two favorite colors? NO IT IS NOT.

But I promise to branch out from more than just teal and orange. At least a little.

This is one of those rare cakes that I could frame and stare at all day long. That shading in the stripes and flowers gives it this gorgeous sense of depth - so, so good.

 

This dreamy pastel number is is downright heavenly with its floating flowers:

And that watercolor fade? Awesome sauce.

 

Not sure which I like more on this one: the mosaics or that patchwork bow:

Ah, but I'm also a sucker for drama, so...

BAM.

Love how the black makes those floral swags pop - and who doesn't love teensy polka dots?

 

This famous landmarks cake has a fun graphic arts feel:

Check out the little heart carved in the Eiffel Tower!

 

Sometimes I find little one-tier cakes especially delightful:

Robin's egg blue and rich red is another of my favorite color combos - plus look at all that delicate hand-piping! Perfection!

 

Here's another one-tier cutie, guaranteed to make you grin:

Hope today's post made your Sunday extra happy, everyone!

P.S. I hear it's cold where some of you are. Need a new sweatshirt?

Novelty Fleece-Lined Hoody Sweatshirts

These ALSO make me happy, ha. There are lots more designs to choose from, but trust me, I picked the best two. :D
(Heads up: apparently these run 2 sizes too small.)
