The Bananas Are Totally Helping: Women Weirdly Wearing Cake

Since I started this blog I've seen my share of cakes crammed onto real live ladies. Here's a croquembouche dress:

(Ballsy.)

Here's a cupcake skirt:

(I'd eat that.)

And here's an edible wedding dress guaranteed to make you never want an edible wedding dress:

But all of that pales in comparison to whatever the heck is happening in this photo:

Now, I know there's a lot of crazy to take in up there, but keep your eyes on the bananas.

See them?

Good.

Now you can scroll down:

Ta-daaaa!

Ok, so, a few things:

1) There are now bananas artfully draped on the womens' shoulders. I bet you never thought someone could artfully drape a banana. Or that someone would consider a conjoined torso cake with real live ladies sticking out of either end an appetizing idea. BUT THERE THEY BOTH ARE.

2) The candles. Why? Is this a birthday party?

3) WAIT. Is it Beetlejuice's birthday? THAT WOULD EXPLAIN... well, at least the stripey parts.

4) Now I want shrimp cocktail.

5) You Beetlejuice fans got that one. You're welcome.

Thanks to Amy, Evelyn D., Jessica S., & Jemma S. for sending in those pics with absolutely no explanation. I mean, it's just more fun to imagine all the many, MANY reasons why this is a thing that happened.

[thinking]

I'll, uh, come up with one eventually, I'm sure.

Superb Owl Sunday Sweets

As I'm sure most of you know, it's Super Bowl Sunday. To those of us who aren't fans of sportsball, though, it's Superb Owl Sunday.

Our day has less cheering, sure, but what it lacks in beer and hot wings it more than makes up for with adorable cakes:

Like this!

Or this:

I like how this one uses piped buttercream to mimic the texture of wood grain:

Also, baby owl. 'Nuff said.

Here's one that's ALL buttercream - no fondant!

Just to remind you guys that it CAN be done.

Love the colors on this one:

Plus the way the branch wraps around the two tiers.

Check out the detail in these feathers:

Ahh-mazing.

Who else needs these owl wedding toppers?

(By Delicut Cakes)

And though it's not necessarily owl-related, I'm digging all the great textures on each tier.

It turns out owls are PERFECT for baby shower cakes:

Right?

I like how this tree adds a 3D element:

Of course, I have to include the world's most magical owl:

Hedwig!!

Who looks surprisingly cute in Harry's glasses.

And finally, a dramatic cutie with wafer paper feathers:

Ah! SO GOOD.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday, everyone!
