Sunday Sweets: Merry & Bright

It’s Christmas Eve, folks, so here's hoping you can all kick back and relax with loved ones before the big day tomorrow.

The letters to Santa have been sent...

(By Cakes Decor member Cake Heaven)

The gifts have been wrapped...

(By Sandra Monger Cake Design)

The lights are all rigged...

(By Adorn Cake Design)

"Now why are they BLINKING?"

And if you're really lucky, you've even got time for a few crafts:

Anyone into quilling out there? Especially loving those flowers.

Or better yet, maybe you've got time for CAKE.

(By Queen B's Bakery, featured here)

I'd never think to add pink and blue with red and green, but it totally works!

Or how about a soft mint with pearl and silver accents?

(By Cakes Decor member Dolca Llepolia)

Love that snow texture on the middle tier.

Here's a funky modern design with hand-drawn ornaments:

(By Man Bakes Cake)

Fun!

And John thought this binging Santa was hilarious:

I would make a crack about fruitcake here, but I'm told it can actually be super delicious. Bring on the evidence, bakers; I'm willing to be convinced. ;)

This one looks like an abstract forest fairy, and I love it:

(By Blissfully Sweet)

Look at that skirt of leaves, and the little braided belt! SO SWEET.

A stunning stained glass design:

(By Hazel Wong Cake Design for Christmas in Frostington)

Ahhh, pretty as a greeting card.

And finally, for those of you who celebrated Hanukkah, the prettiest Sweet I could find this year:

(By Rosebud Cakes)

Those colors! Take note, bakers: THIS is how you airbrush. Love it.

Well, whatever you're celebrating this season, here's hoping it's merry and bright - with extra sprinkles on top. ;)

A Cup Of Holiday Crazy

Has Christmas gotten a little too predictable for you this year?

Well not to worry; these bakers aim to baffle.

I never knew empty eye sockets could see so well... INTO MY SOUL.

Half a mustache or a bloody nose?

Ugly sweater or brick chimney?

French fries or those crunchy things you put on casseroles?

And is that a pig?

YOU DECIDE.

I assembled a crack team to decipher this next one, and both cats agree: it's not NEARLY as interesting as their own butts.

Oh, and remember, if you see a pretzel jammed in a pile of frightened poop today, it's probably supposed to be a reindeer:

No one really knows why, and frankly, this one has me afraid to ask:

o.0

[backs away slowly]

[bumps into table]

[knocks over huge pile of metal pans, cymbals, and hub caps]

[bows]

Thank you.

Now, just a few more inches, and Nick the Neck Beard will FINALLY get his first taste of tinsel:

All together now:

WOO!

Thanks to Louise B., Darla S., KM, Anony M., Kristi B., Lisa C., Nick M., Liz, Chelsea W., Katherine H., & Melinda H. for keeping it weird.
