No No, Thank YOU, Canada

WARNING!!!

Facebook nearly shut down our page because the following turkey cake was so offensive. Please, hide your children and make sure any elderly folks are out of the room before proceeding! Because the turkey looks vaguely phallic. I mean sure, there are literally millions of mostly naked pictures on Facebook but we put up a turkey cake, darnit, and that crosses a line!

*sigh*

Today may be Columbus Day here in the U.S., but it's also Canadian Thanksgiving, so....

DRIPPY POO WANG TIME, Y'ALL!

I kid, I kid.

After all, there's so much more to Canada's day of thanks than just drippy poo wangs.

There are also HUUUGE... tracts of pumpkins.

And Turkey Castles!

And... dead... scarecrows?

Whoa. Little dark, there, Canada.

Anyway, I just wanted to say how thankful *I* am for you, Canada, with your sweet people, your incredibly tolerant and forgiving sense of humor, and, of course, that adorable Canadian accent:

Now go gooble 'til ya wooble, you crazy kids.

Thanks to Steve G., Courtney W., Katheleine G., Michelle D., & Kyle S. for bringing their "eh" game.

Sunday Sweets Welcomes A Slice Of Fall

Last weekend 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:

(By Albena's Custom Cakes)

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

(By Sweet Art of Mine)

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:

(By Torty Viz)

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!

(By Odry Cakes)

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

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

(By Pasticci di Molly)

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!
