Valentines Review

Remember last week when I told you guys to make Valentines Day extra confusing?

Well, looks like some bakers out there took my advice...TO HEART.

And that's no bull.

(OX OX!)

 

What day is it, again?

Oh, right.
Um.
So HOW old is this cake?

 

I'm detecting a pattern here:

Maybe bacon?

 

And the award for "Weirdest Made-Up Punctuation" goes to...

The symbol formerly known as ?!?.

("I.... am confused. >>)

 

Of course, as bizarre as these Valentines cakes are, it could always be worse:

Must be an ice cream cake... CUZ THAT'S COLD.

 

Thanks to Christina L., Annalise, Beth H., Kathleen B., & Ashton A. for bringing us down in the dumps.

Sunday Sweets For YOU, Valentine

Happy Valentines Day, minions!

I'm afraid I don't have boxes of chocolates or teddy bears for you, but I DO have this cuteness right here:

(By Sweet Bakes)

All together, now: D'AWWWWWW.

 

Yep, just consider this post my Valentine to all of you:

(By Sweet K Cake Design)

I'll even AIM to keep the painful puns on the DOWN BOW.

(John: That's really the best pun you've got?
Jen: CUPID PUNS ARE HARD OK)

 

You know what's better than Valentines heart candy?

(By My Cake School)

EYE CANDY.

And also anything with chocolate in it.

(Make a note, better halves.)

 

Here's a classic in red, white, and black:

And a less traditional pink, white, and GOOOOOLD:

(By Hey There, Cupcake!)

How cool is that marble texture?

And you DID read "goooold" in Goldmember's voice, right?

Excellent.

 

I'm loving these rich purple accents:

And these handwritten "love" notes!

(By Hazel Wong Cake Design)

 

This lacy, ruffly masterpiece is stunning - so is it wrong that I'm most impressed by how the hearts match the cake stand?

(By Precious Taarten)

So SHINY.

 

And finally, a giant cake rose that manages to look even prettier once it's cut:

(By Cake Style, video tutorial here)

Ooooh. Aaaaa.

You should watch the video, too; she makes it seem like something even us mere mortals could make.

 

Have a great Valentines, everyone! Here's to all the lovers, dreamers, friends, family, and furbabies who make our lives Sweet.

(And also to CAKE, because caaaaake.)
