Sunday Sweets Goes Art Deco... Again!

From Flapper dresses to Big Band jazz to Art Deco architecture, nothing says "style" quite like the Roaring Twenties.

(By Sarah Jones)

Look at that gilded perfection! LOOK AT IT.

 

And check out this sweet flapper girl!

(By Kidacity)

Love that feathered headband topper.

 

This one reminds me of delicate chandelier earrings:

(By Gia's Cakes)

 

And this one, sleek silk gowns from Downton Abbey:

(By Sugarpot)

 

Here's a mod silhouette style:

(By Cake Lovers, but I can't find the right website for them. Help?)

I actually have a hat like that, and could never quite pull it off. Maybe if I paired it with long pearls...

 

You know those fancy Deco dinner clubs in the movies, the kind with full jazz bands and dance floors? That's what I see here:

(By Diane Custom Cake Studios)

You can almost hear the brass section announcing dessert. :)

 

Another gilded beauty:

(By Sara Elizabeth Cakes)

 

And a simple, clean style with some stunning Art Deco imagery:

(By Zahari)

I'm already swooning over the art, but those 3D rolled flowers in her skirt? GENIUS.

 

Another clever mix of 2D and 3D on this handpainted flapper girl:

(By Crumbs)

Check out the fringe on her dress! And the hand piped pearls!

 

Some incredible techniques in this next one:

(By Sweet Heather Anne, featured here)

From the delicate petals at the base, to the baffling hexagonal pink ombre (how DID they do that??) to those swags of lace near the top, this cake is a true showcase of Things Jen Could Never Do.

 

Here's a more modern, subtle homage to the flapper dress... with FEATHERS.

(By Zoe Clark Cakes)

Oooooh. Aaaaaah.
I want to pet it.

 

And finally, a Great Gatsby inspired beauty with too many fab details to mention:

(By Three Women and an Oven)

That creamy palette is just lovely, and I'm digging the bunches of pearls. So Sweet!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. Now that it's *almost* scarf weather in Florida let me show you my new favorite find:

The CVS Receipt Scarf

Y'all. It's soft, it goes with everything, and it's a giant CVS receipt. Talk about the best reveal when someone compliments your look!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Pipe Dreams

"Okay, Tiger, you can do this. It's just an engagement cake, nothing to be afraid of.

"Here goes..."

"Steady... steeeeady..."

"Perfect!

 

"Now to finish up the delicate vine-work on this wedding cake."

[grunting]

 

"This next one calls for 'Cornelli Lace'. Huh."

"NAILED IT."

 

And for my piece de resistance, a magical Cinderella coach for the bride and groom's table!!

 

WITNESS THE MAJESTY OF MY CREATION!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

HAHA!

Heh. Aheh.

I should probably go back to the deli now.

 

Thanks to Jenna P., Jade C., Catherine C., and Vanessa S. for letting me play with clipart again.

P.S. I did a ton of research to find the best Christmas lights last year, and I think you're going to love these:

BrizLabs Color-Changing Christmas Lights

This is a 115 feet of LED lights, which you can change from warm white to multi-color to any combination of the two! They have 11 different settings like "slo-glow" and "breathing," a remote control, and even built-in timers. All for $22 Prime! This is BY FAR the best price for the most features I've found, plus they have over 1,900 positive reviews.

John & I installed 3 strands of these for friends last year, and they lasted all season and are back in action again this month. Highly recommend.
