Sunday Sweets Goes To The Beach
There's 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spennnnd it...
And what better place to spend your summer vacation than at the beach? Phineas and Ferb obviously agree, and who can argue with those guys?
So snap open your lounge chairs and get ready to enjoy today's beachy-keen sweets. Starting with this lovely:
Ahhh. I actually feel more relaxed just looking at this. How people can bring themselves to eat these exquisite creations, I'll never undersand.
And you're going to love this collection of underwater friends...

and anemones.
Let's all wave hello to this next one...

'cuz I hear it brings good tidings!
(Ok, ok, I'm sorry about all the beach puns. No matter what I do they just keep rolling in. But seriously, isn't this cake swell?)
Now here's a tasteful take on a beach-themed wedding cake:

I love that they didn't go overboard.
(Sea what I did there?)
(Ugh, I'm sorry! I'm even annoying myself now. I'll try to reel it in.)
Here's a sweet little seahorse. I think it's totally cute:
Water you thinking a boat it?
Sorry! I can't help it. I'll just go with the flow.
Like the tiny pearl bubbles floating along the gentle waves of this cake. Simply buoy-tiful.
And I love the graduating colors of fondant here, and the dusting of "sand:"
Tangent time: I once had a good friend who enjoyed eating actual sand. Turns out she was deficient in some essential mineral. Which was a relief, since we were about to take her to the lagoony bin.
It's a shore bet she would have loved this sand castle cake though:
The "sand" is crushed Nilla wafers, should you care to recreate this look for yourself or a loved one who does not enjoy eating actual sand.
There's so much goodness in this next sandy scene, how shell I ever pick a favorite?
I love the pinwheels and the tiny picnic in the corner.
Oh, and the embossed pattern on the mini tablecloth! Great little detail.
This final cake is so incredible and realistic you'll swear it's alive. I squid you not.

Wow, that sucker is beautiful!
(Specifically, the third one from the bottom.)
Whale, I hope you got your fill of beach-themed sweets (and puns) today. I'm sure you're clamoring for more, but that should tide you over for a while!
Happy Sunday!

P.S. If you actually go to the beach, then clearly you need a mesh tote bag that's in such high demand they couldn't even get one for the photoshoot, and had to photoshop it in (badly) later:
Oh yeah, bad Photoshop is how you know it's good. Well, that, and the 2,000+ 5-star ratings. Turns out this thing is actually pretty awesome, and also comes in blue, gray, or white. Grab yours before the manufacturer tries to snatch it up for another photoshoot.
