Sunday Sweets Flutters On By

John's favorite animal is the butterfly, so after I made him a rockin' rainbow butterfly wreath I thought I'd look for some sweet cakes, too. In fact, this one's like his new wreath in cake form:

Mmm, rainbow goodness. I love they they're all different sizes and styles.

Here's a delicious Art Deco vibe:

Look how the gold scroll-work bridges the tiers! So cool.

I'm completely smitten with this flying frames design:

COMPLETELY. Such a fun idea!

And this one has a gothic elegance to it:

Those little red hearts add just the right touch.

Some of my favorite colors happening here:

I like how the branches form a frame. So sweet!

Ooh, now here's some advanced cakey architecture:

Flower topiary! It *does* have butterflies, but I'll admit I'm mostly loving those white poppies - which probably aren't even poppies, because I'm bad with flower names. Still. SO PRETTY.

Allow me to make up for the less-than-overwhelming number of butterflies on that last one with this:

Butterfly overload! And they're making a heart! Ah!

K, one last rainbow pretty for you:

(By McGreevy Cakes)

They're even flying right off the cake! And look - the rainbow rain has dripped on to the cake stand.
So cute.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Here's the 84-pc butterfly set I used to make John's wreath, I think you crafters are gonna love them:

(3D Butterfly Wall Magnet Set)

They're double-sided and come with both magnets and stickers. Definitely browse the projects in the reviews, there are so many pretty ideas!

Before You Complain, Note How I Did NOT Make A Beaver Joke

We've got a triple-hitter today, minions: not only is it No Housework Day (woo!), it's also National Beer Day (hoo!) AND International Beaver Day!!

[crickets]

No?

OK, but that still means we can get sloshed on thrones of dirty laundry, right? Beavers optional*.

(*Beavers Optional is the name of my Damn Yankees cover band.)

Also, cider beers count, right? Because I don't really like the taste of beer.

Oops, I'm supposed to be showing you cakes, huh?

It's a turtle.

Obviously.

While I was looking up what crazy holidays we could celebrate today, I also discovered it's Bat Appreciation Week:

Batman: "He'll never see me."

AND it's International Twit Award Month.

Now, I know it's still early in the month, but I'm callin' it:

This baker wins.

And finally, allow me to send you off with my own holiday, which I've decided to call the Day Of Being Thankful This Sign On The Card Swiper Is Spaced Properly:

Give it a minute.

You know, to see the funny thing, not to... um... hoo boy... uh, LOOK! Over there! [points] [runs off]

Thanks to Dianne W., Laura H., Paula S., Dustin O., & Stephanie H. for proving the penis mightier.
