"You Wanted What Now?"

The baker asked Beth how she wanted the writing to look: cursive, all-caps, etc.

"Oh, just regular."

The constipated ones don't get cake.

 Karin asked that her friend's cake be served with Korbel Brut, a type of champagne:

"A TOAST... TO CAKE WRECKS."

(Anyone else wondering what the baker drew under those chocolates on the edge?)

Lee asked for a cake with Halloween decorations:

I'm so glad Lee explained; I stared at this forever wondering why they abbreviated "December."

 Then the Mevers family asked the baker to write Big Daddy in brown.

And it's big, big, Daddy Brown. 

Biggest Dad in the whole dang town!

Bigger than ol' King Kong

Sweeter than a Hostess' Ding Dong

Ahem.

And finally, Thomas' bakery didn't understand what "Semper Fi" was or how to spell it, so he told them to look up "Military Marines."

Wow, Thomas, there are just... so many... ways that could go wrong.

And happily the bakery did almost all of them.

PERFECT.

Thanks to Beth D. Karen B., Lee J., the Mevers, & Thomas V. for that Lookap.

Sunday Sweets: Into The West

Today’s theme is some Sweet Western wonders!

(By Arte de Ka)

K, I'm calling it: Cutest. Cactus. EVAH.

So grab your Stetson, partners:

(By Cake Central user ssunshine564)

And your prettiest boots!

(By Sen Cakes)

Is it really cake? Yep! Although you'd be forgiven for doubting; it's based on a real boot, and the two are all but identical. Check out how Rose used piping to mimic the embroidery stitching:

AMAZING.

Speaking of snazzy accessories, I'm loving this orange bandana:

(By Ana Beatriz Carrard)

Although most belt-buckle-and-bandana cakes these days seem to be inspired by everyone's favorite toy Sheriff:

Can't blame 'em, though; Woody really does have fabulous fashion sense.

Here's a little beauty for all you budding equestrians out there:

(By taart van Bianca)

LOVE.

Or how about this for welcoming the newest lil' cowboy into the family?

(By It's A Piece of Cake)

Those hand painted designs are stunning.

And now for some of the sweetest Western wedding cakes I could find:

(By Becky Willard)

So that embossed "leather" and belt buckle completely fooled me, but I checked, and yes, they're edible! (Not the gems, though.) Mega hat tip to Becky; you really got me, my friend!

Next, a modern twist on a classic style:

(By Gateaux Inc.)

Banksy moved to Texas, y'all. You heard it here first.

(Ok, maybe not, but doesn't that look like it belongs in a gallery?)

Another woodgrain design, but this one's a real peach:

(By Sweet On Cake)

So many wedding cakes have the horseshoes perches on top, but I love how these are hanging around the bottom tier! The weathering on the gold is a great touch, too.

And finally, for the black-tie cowboy affair:

(By Cakes By Lisa)

Loverly.

Just promise me someone was wearing rhinestone cowboy boots.

Happy Sunday!
