Sunday Sweets Welcomes A Slice Of Fall

Recently I experienced something wondrous and oh-so-rare for a Floridian: I got a little chilly outside. That's right, my friends, it got down to almost 74 degrees. Granted, it was nearly midnight at the time, but I'LL TAKE IT.

So this is me officially welcoming Fall, the Sweetest way I know how:

And also the sparkliest way I know how:

Orange and teal is my favorite color combo, so I'm over the harvest moon for this stained glass beauty:

And this ruffly ombré reminds me of a crackling fire on a cold Autumn's night:

Rustic wood planks are the perfect contrast to these gorgeous flowers:

And this soft stenciling reminds me of aged plaster, with the perfect golden tone:

The doorway in this stone tower is a brilliant use of trompe l'oeil:

Like peeking into another world!

I've never seen ruffles quite like the ones on this middle tier:

(By Dorty Havelkova)

They're like giant rose petals, but with a crisp modern flair. Love it.

More of my favorite colors - and a gorgeous reminder that Fall cakes can have cool colors, too!

The teal is the perfect backdrop for all those turning leaves!

And finally, a Fall stunner with the most amazing topper and art:

The umbrella, the falling leaves, those beautiful swirls of red hair... ah! That's it, I'm ready for sweater weather now.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. Need a sweet gift for the person who has everything? Then how about a card that transforms into a bouquet:

Fresh Cut Pop-Up Bouquet

I've been raving about Fresh Cut Paper for a while now, and they have a bunch of styles to choose from, including a new pop-up wreath for Fall! Go see!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

A 30-Year-Old Spoiler & Powdered Holes

If you think I'm touching this one with a ten-foot-pole...

Not. Saying. a WORD.

Let's try something a little less potentially controversial, k? Like some nice, pastel yellow, powdered holes.

Wait.

What?

Marketing Guy #1: "I dunno, is there some way we can make donut holes sound both unappetizing and vaguely pornographic?"

Marketing Guy #2: Oh! And oddly specific!

I don't want to spoil any plot points on a thirty year old movie or anything, guys, but that's a father and daughter on this misspelled divorce cake:

"NOOOooOOOOOooOOO!"

And finally, she asked for a princess carriage.

What she got was a whole lotta 'splainin' to do:

Awk. Waaaard.

Thanks to Crystal R., Jennifer B., Elizabeth A., Anony M., & Casey D. for giving new meaning to the phrase, "My baby's getting married!"

P.S. Speaking of things that are vaguely pornographic... is your life boring? Does your soul yearn for adventure? Are you waiting for the universe to send you a sign?

Then here:

The Yodeling Pickle
Also the universe says "hi."

(Listen, if you can't think of anything family friendly to do with an 8-inch plastic yodeling pickle, then I can't help you.)
