Sunday Sweets: Wedding Cakes in Chocolate

Hey girl.
Today's post is dedicated to you.

By I Dream of Jeanne Cakes

That's right, to you and every other chocolate-loving chocoholic out there who can't quit craving the sweet stuff and have long since polished off the last 3 Musketeers bar in your kids' Halloween candy stash.

You know who you are.

So come along. Let's take a ride on the gentle waves of chocolate's sweet caress:

Let's set sail on the decadent seas of sensory seduction.

Smell the chocolate. Feeeeel the chocolate. Taste the chocolate. BE the chocolate.

Let chocolate's smooth tendrils of tantalization entwine you.

By Layers

Embrace the chocolate! Let its sweet siren song wash over you and take you to a place where a rose is just a rose, unless it's a chocolate rose...

By Baking Arts

Because then it's like, a way better rose.

Unless of course, it's a painted chocolate rose. With ruffles. And twirly things.

By The Paul Bradford Sugarcraft School

Twirly things of temptation!

So surrender! Surrender to chocolate's rich and creamy charms!

Let the fermented bean pods of the cacao tree seep into your soul as you... um... wait.

OK, so maybe that's not the sexiest description of chocolate you've ever heard. Sorry.
I'm running out of adjectives here.

Bottom line, chocolate is pretty much perfection.

By Wilton

Like this cake. Such perfection, I'm having trouble believing it's real. Look at those razor sharp corners!

And the only way this curvaceous cake could be better is if there were even more of it:

I can't spot a single thing wrong here, either:

I'm just dotty for it! (The kids still say 'dotty,' right?)
(No? Well, I'm not very hip. My pajamas have cats on them.)

Of course, sometimes even the most fervent chocolate lover needs a break:

By Margaret's French Bakery

Like this. This is the perfect chocolate break.

Who could resist a cake literally paved in chocolate?
I can't. You can't. Don't even try.

Anyway, if you love chocolate so much, why don't you marry it? I think you should.

By Kanya Hunt

If only for the cake.

Hope your Sunday’s extra sweet!

P.S. Hey chocolate lovers, have you seen the giant one pound Snickers bar??

Snickers "Slice 'N Share" Giant Candy Bar

This isn't a bunch of regular size bars wrapped up in a big box, y'all; it really is a giant Snickers bar. The peanut layer is like an inch and a half thick! The photo gallery is making me drool, hnnng. I want one to have and to hold and to not share, John, so you better get two. ;)

The Turkey Aftermath

Ahhh, turkey cake wrecks. The bane-yet-blessing of my bloggy existence.

::pause::

Wanna see some more?

If there were a Vegas review starring hot dogs and/or Twinkies...uh...dangit, now I kind of wish that actually existed. Somebody get on that, will you?

The irony, it runs deep.

(For extra lolz, just imagine the little feet wiggling.)

I'm sure you've seen ads for those turkey ice cream cakes. You know, these ones?

Well, expectation, meet reality:

(Once you start seeing this as a greased pig stuck in a rabbit hole, it's pretty much all you CAN see.)

And finally, I've seen my share of disturbing turkey cakes, believe me. (BELIEVE ME.) And yet, I think this really could be the MOST disturbing turkey cake I have ever seen.

[blinking]

Turkey cake is people!  

TURKEY CAKE IS PEOPLE!!

Thanks to wreckporters Beth J., Nicki B., Rebecca W., & Courtney for "working" on a holiday. Extra leftovers for you, guys!

Here's a new game - at least to me - that's getting rave reviews for family game time:

Beat That! The Bonkers Battle Of Wacky Challenges

Beat That comes with a huge assortment of physical game challenges, from bouncing balls into cups to picking up dice with a pair of chopsticks, and you bet with tokens on which challenges you think you can beat inside the time limit. Looks like fast-paced, silly fun. I'm thinking of bringing it to Thanksgiving this year, to break up the post-turkey sleepy time, heh.
