Sunday Sweets Splits Up! 11 Gorgeous Double-Sided Cakes

I love seeing how bakers tackle the challenge of a double birthday cake, so today, gang, we're going halfsies.

Double the cuteness, double the fun!

Of course it's easy to share a cake when the kids are too young to have an opinion. The real challenge comes when they're older, and bakers have to combine two VERY different styles:

(The Cake Room LA, Louisiana)

Absolutely loving Cinderella's carriage matched up with Cap's shield. So clever.

At first glance I thought this one was two different cakes:

(Little Cherry Cake Company, UK)

Tinkerbell and Periwinkle are a perfect pair:

(Mother and Me Creative Cakes, UK)

Or how about Hello Kitty... and Spider-Man?

(McGreevey Cakes, online tutorials)

Yass. The balloons are my favorite part!

I know a bunch of adults who would LOVE this little girl's cake:

(Lacey Jakes Cakes, tutorial here)

It's not for two people, but it could be! Or you could just celebrate both sides of your personality.

::evil grin::

Speaking of which, it doesn't get much better than this for a two-sided cake:

(Dolce Dita, online tutorials)

Such a cute idea for a baby shower - and there's an angel wing and bat wing coming out the sides! D'awwww.

No contrasting characters here, but I am SWOONING over this chocolate and strawberry combo:

(Cakes Contour, UK)

SWOONING.

(I've been cutting back on sweets this week, so I want to smash my face in this thing SO BAD. Hnnnng.)

 I already featured double-side wedding cakes back in 2018 - in case you were wondering where those were - but here comes a fun double-sided engagement cake:

(Cakes And Cupcakes Mumbai, India)

The sign says "Warning: Opposites Attract. May Cause Sparks"

:D

As much as I love a good princess cake, I have to admit seeing this Wonder Woman/Superman split made me SO DARN HAPPY:

(Chace's Cakes & Catering, Florida)

AW YEAH SUPERHERO LADIES REPRESENT

And finally, the magical beast mashup that made my jaw drop:

(Carulli Cakes, Arizona)

That is all buttercream, y'all. No fondant! I can't get over the detail and shading in the dragon eye. Just... WOW.

I hope today's split Sweets gave you a smile! Happy Sunday!

Oh but wait, here's one last double-sided Sweet - this time for my fellow puzzle lovers:

 2-Sided Jigsaw Puzzle, 500 Piece

I think this is the prettiest picture combo, but there's also a dollhouse option where one side is the exterior, and the other shows the rooms inside. SO COOL.

The Write Stuff

For Handwriting Analysis Week I thought we should take a fair, unbiased look at what kind of sick, twisted deviants could be writing on our cakes with their sick, twisted piping bags.

For SCIENCE!

Exhibit A.

One can observe from the jagged, hesitant strokes and middle patterns that this individual has an impulsive emotional responsiveness and cautious self-castigation. Also present: a nagging apprehension that she left the coffee maker on.

Exhibit 2.

Note the broadminded structures and upward slant that shows a tendency toward self-deceit and argumentative euphoria, with a perfunctory nod to antidisestablishmentarianism. Tsk. So typical.

Exhibit 6.

Totally horny.

Exhibit IV.

Horny, with a side of cautious self-castigation.

Exhibit È.

Randy as a tipsy Newman.

Exhibit Spoon.

Potential ax-murderer. Who is horny.

And finally:

Exhibit Nein.

A magical unicorn with telekinetic powers.

Or an overworked shift manager, who has a headache.

[shifty eyes]

SCIENCE!!

Thanks to Arthur S., Breanne S., Nikki M., Marcela T., Christy H., Kayla G., & Stephanie K. for making every hyper-active preschooler with a crayon look down right talented.

P.S. I thought you guys might like some "humerus" pens:

Medical Pen Gift Set

GET IT? "HUMERUS"?

Actually this set comes with all the syringes & little pill pens, too, for only $10! And I'm not at all bitter over the fact that I just bought one - ONE! - of those pill pens from a shop here in Orlando for $5. :)  (It's super adorable, though; it telescopes open!)
