Sunday Sweets: Pretty As A Peacock
When I was younger, I read somewhere that having peacock feathers in the house was bad luck. Something about the "eyes" on the feathers being evil.

In fact, I'd feel pretty fortunate if I had any of these cakes around.

So soft and sweet! I like the blush of pink in the flower buds.
Or for a real statement, how about white-on-white?
Fingers crossed the bird was the ring-bearer.
Think we can eat the cake out of the middle of this and turn it into a lamp?
