Sunday Sweets Celebrates Kids' Movies

Anyone else out there addicted to kids' movies? 'Cuz I admit it: I love 'em. Especially since they keep making so many amazing ones.

Besides, how can you NOT love Baymax?

(By Catherine's Cakery)

Seeing Big Hero 6 in the theater was a milestone for me, since I'd been avoiding theaters for years on account of my panic disorder. But I went to that movie, loved it, and didn't panic. So in his way, Baymax the Healthcare Robot helped me, too.

Gosh, that got sappy fast, huh? Sorry.

ONWARD!

To quote a certain Despicable soundtrack: this cake makes me "Happpyyyyy!"

(By Cakes By Carol)

IT'S SO FLUFFY!!

Sure, there are eleventy billion Frozen cakes out there, but check this out:

(By Carmen's Art Cakes)

It's based on the new short, Frozen Fever! Which I still haven't seen yet. I... need to fix that.

A fantastic plane from Planes:

(By Haute Sweets by Hiromi)

Sometimes - like when I'm looking at that propeller - I have to remind myself we're looking at cake.

Another movie that had me dancing in my seat:

(By Sogni de Zucchero)

Rio!

The sculpting on those figs is blowing me away.

Anyone remember The Gruffalo?

(By Fat Cakes Design)

He's from a kids' book-turned-animated-short, so that's one more for my to-watch list.

Next, the movie with my second-favorite Batman*:

(By Bake-a-boo Cakes)

LEGO Batman.

Although I'm also loving Unikitty up there!

[*Second favorite, because Michael Keaton foreverrrrr.]

Technically not a kids' movie, but who doesn't turn into a big kid over baby Groot from Guardians?

(By Cinnamon Square)

NOBODY, that's who.

A few months ago John and I finally watched Book of Life, and WOW. So good.

Just like this cake!

(By Little Cherry Cake Co)

And check out this gravity-defying Box Troll:

(By Little Cake Shop)

The sense of motion here is incredible; you expect to blink and see him flat on the pavement!

And finally, and most squee-worthy, BABY TOOTHLESS:

(By Fernanda Abarca)

I'd very much like to train THIS dragon, pretty please. (The little tongue! ACK! So cute.)

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I was going to link this adorable Toothless tshirt but then saw this amazing Pallas cat plushie and now I must have one.

HE’S SO FLUFFY!!!

When Photo Cakes Go Wrong

Karen noticed something a bit odd about her son's "sports-themed" cake:

I mean, besides it being this ugly.

Here, let's take a closer look at that top picture, shall we?

ENHANCE!!

Why, yes, that IS a watermark... and a file name.

So did the baker really just grab the first thing she found on Google Image Search??

Of course not.

It's more like the 10th thing she found on Google Image Search.

I checked.

(If you'd like to play along, just type in "lacrosse sticks clipart.")

Bakers don't have to print the file name to wreck a photo cake, though.

They can also do this!

Or this!

Or the baker could leave off the image entirely, and just write the design number instead!

Trust us, Rebecca, it's better this way.

You know how, in every crime show, they always find a hidden room with a whole wall covered in newspaper clippings & creepy photo collages?

NOW IT COMES IN CAKE!

I like to think these are all the baker's victims.

"Looks like someone," [removing sunglasses] "GOT SERVED."

And finally, for you Doctor Who fans, here's how to take this famous Van Gogh print from the show:

And make a Whovian cry until they laugh:

BAD BAKER.

Thanks to Karen C., Jennifer I., Mindi A., John P., Kelli, & Anony M. for taking the time.
