Oprah's 8 Crazy Nights

Oprah just released her annual list of Favorite Things for the holidays, and at least one of them is getting a rise out of folks:

If your Hanukkah celebration lasts more than 8 nights, see your doctor.

If this perky pastry looks familiar, it's because I posted it last December:

Except my bread menorah came [snerk] with its own flour-y prose.

Yep, you could almost say my bread puns were... SECOND TO NAAN.

Ahem.

There can be only one conclusion from all of this, of course: Oprah is trolling Cake Wrecks for ideas.

So first off, Oprah, let me say:

And I mean that.

Second, since you're clearly looking for the kind of creative, out-of-the-box bakery options that make people laugh and then write incredulous online articles, I have a few more suggestions for your list!

1. Bread Snakes

Perfect for snake-lovers, ex-boyfriends, and 1/4 of Hogwarts students.

2. Invisible Football Pudding Cake Trays

A holiday touch down if ever I didn't see one.

3. A Giant Wad Of Frosting with Little Brownies Stuck To It

Or as I like to call it, a GWOFLBSTI.

4. These Things:

I think they're supposed to be some kind of bird.

Let's just agree they're turkeys.

And finally, the ultimate gift for those high-fashion ladies who get a little snacky while clubbing:

5. Cheesy Club Sandwich Shoes!

Be a PYT in your BLTs.

Thanks to everyone who sent in Oprah's list, plus Julie, Erin R., Carol B., Amanda, Lelac A., & Dorothy B., who's a shoe-in for Weirdest CW Sub Yet. (Get it? SUB? Heyooooo!)

Sunday Sweets Gets OVER DRAMATIC

There's a place for casual elegance, but sometimes you want something a little more... elaborate. Something bold, something over-the-top. Something that grabs your eyeballs by the collar and slaps 'em around a bit - in a good way.

You know, like this:

(By Tran Linh)

BOOYAH.

So good.

You want sparkles?
We've got sparkles:

(By Artisan Cake Company)

Booyah AGAIN.

Think you need a big cake to make a big statement? Think again:

(By Modern Lovers)

This little gem packs a pretty punch!

It doesn't get more classic than black, white, and lipstick red:

(By Very Unique Cakes)

Or, for that matter, black, white, and gold:

(By MILA)

Here's the same color palette with a little more joie de vivre:

(By JT Cakes)

Ahhh, Paris. Where even the streetlights cast little heart shadows. (So cute!)

I just realized most of these have been on the dark side so far - but believe me, you don't need any color at all to make jaws drop:

(By Cakes Decor member Beth)

This drama queen is a vision in ruffles!

Or how about this snow white wonder:

(By Bobette and Belle)

That hand-piped lace is blowing my mind.

Now add a bold pop of red swirly flowers:

(By Made With Love)

And don't forget a little a lot of bling!

(By Practical Imperfect Mom)

And one final statement piece proves that not all that glitters is gold:

(By Fine Cakes by Zehra)

Sometimes it's silver.

:D

Happy Sunday, everyone!
