Sunday Sweets BRINGS CAKE To The Library!

Who's ready to sink your teeth into a good book or two?

(By Janette MacPherson Cake Craft)

Or seven or eight?

Assuming you can convince anyone these are edible, of course.

(By Mel's Amazing Cakes)

Have you seen the new 3D storybook trend? Because it is SO COOL:

(By Laura Jane Cake Design)

Talk about a tall tale!

And "wood" you believe this retirement cake?

(By Merritt's Bakery)

Tsk. SO SHELF-ISH.

:D

(I've decided we need more librarian-themed cakes, y'all, because librarians rock and that cake is awesome.)

Here's another storybook cake, this time more like a pop-up:

(By Bake-A-Boo)

Loooove those illustrations. Seriously. Unlike the cake, I'm melting.

Ooh, here's an idea for my fellow bibliophiles:

(By Cake Studio)

A book-themed wedding cake!

(Even the teacup and candle are edible! YOWZA.)

This next one won gold in a Tolkien-themed tribute contest, and it's easy to see why:

(By Cupcakes & Dreams Portugal)

What sorcery is this??

Awe. I AM IN AWE.

Do you think instead of cutting the cake they just handed out books for everyone to eat? Because that would make me indescribably happy.

Speaking of sorcery and happiness, we can't celebrate books and the magical places that let us read them for free without a little Potter magic, now can we?

Sha-pow.

And one more, which isn't technically a book because it's a journal, but I think you'll forgive me:

(By CakesDecor member Francesca Liotta)

Because oooooh. [grabby hands]

Slytherins never follow the rules anyway, right?

And finally, let's end with the sweetest lil' library cake you ever will see:

(By New Delhi Cake Company)

D'awwww.

Now, who wants to go to the library? Remember to thank a librarian while you're there!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope it's Sweet!

P.S. Hey fellow book lovers, I just found what may be the prettiest bookmark EVER, check this out:

Metal Feather Charm Bookmark

It's like jewelry for your book! You can choose from gold or silver - or get both: one for you, one for a friend. Or both for you. I won't judge. :D

Where There's A Will

It's Talk Like Shakespeare Day!

So, instead of making Much Ado About Wrecking, we're just going to let the Bard himself insult the cakes.

"They lie deadly that tell you you have good faces."
- Coriolanus

"Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood."
- King Lear

"I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster!"
- The Tempest

"Thy food is such
As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs."
- Pericles

"Thou lump of foul deformity!
Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes."
- Richard III

"I wonder that you will still be talking. Nobody marks you."
- Much Ado About Nothing

"A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; base, proud, shallow...

"...beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson...

"... glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave, one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch...

"... one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition."

- King Lear

Wow. Uh, thanks, Will. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks to Elisabeth T., Kimberly L., Alexandra D., Mallie R., Amy P., Rebecca C., Jennifer S., Libby W., Alison, and Talley. Fair befall you!
