The Politics of Pastry

[The following are paid political advertisements by the candidates for East Paulsbo Bakery Oversight Commissioner, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Cake Wrecks or its affiliates.]

Faith. Trust. Pixie dust. These are just a few of the things Ernie Snerdbergler brings to East Paulsbo bakeries. So tomorrow, vote America. Vote for your bakeries. Vote Snerdbergler.

****

Mort Furfingdon loves two things: America and East Paulsbo bakeries. If elected, Mort promises to eliminate that sketchy-sounding "pixie dust" and bring back good, old-fashioned sprinkles:

So tomorrow, vote for Mort Furfingdon, East Paulsbo. Because any way you slice it, Mort Furfingdon is top tier.

****

Ernie Snerdbergler also loves sprinkles, but won't stoop to bad puns to win your vote, East Paulsbo. That's because Ernie Snerdbergler has integrity. Ernie Snerdbergler has innovation. And Ernie Snerdbergler has free cupcakes for everyone if he's elected.

****

Mort Furfingdon will ALSO give you free cupcakes, East Paulsbo, not just the icing on top like that other guy, who is totally stingy.

Also, did you know Mort's opponent hates grandmothers?

It's true.

So tomorrow, think of your grandma, East Paulsbo. Vote for Mort Furfingdon.

****

MORT FURFINGDON IS A FILTHY LIAR.
He also colludes with Satan and has a weird foot thing.

Do you want a guy with a weird foot thing overseeing your bakeries, East Paulsbo? I didn't think so. VOTE SNERDBERGLER.

****

Ernie Snerdbergler is actually the devil. He kicks the seat in front of him on airplanes and thinks Val Kilmer was the best Batman.

With him in charge, our bakeries will burn, your children will become drug addicts, and life as we know it WILL END.

VOTE FURFINGDON.

****

:: The East Paulsbo Gazette interrupts these campaign commercials to ask both candidates to "chill the heck out" and maybe eat a Snickers. We'd also like to wish you all a happy voting day tomorrow. ::

Thanks to Kelley B., Lindsey S., Lisa, Kaitlyn P., Monique R., Jessica S., & Missy B., who know Keaton was the best Batman, so there.

Sunday Sweets: Light & Airy Wedding Cakes

I've been stockpiling wedding pretties in my "to-post" folder, guys, and today is finally the day.

BEHOLD!

(By Cake Heart)

Would you call this metallic peach, or bright copper? I'm thinking peach.
Whichever, I love how light it is, and that bottom trim texture really intrigues me.

Speaking of texture:

(By Curtis & Co. Cakes)

::drooly jaw on keyboard::

Or how about these ombré spirals?

(By Sift by Kara)

So much to love here!

Do you prefer Art Nouveau?

(By Kaytee Trudeau-Leet)

...or Art Deco?

(By Faye Cahill Cake Design)

I CAN'T CHOOSE.

Ooh, here's something different: ever seen ribbon embroidery?

(By Bobbette and Belle)

Ribbon embroidery looks exactly like this, only you usually can't eat it. WOWIE. (How?!)

Another mind bender? This perfectly pieced mosaic:

(By Mark Joseph Cakes)

This reminds me of the Moroccan wall fountain in Epcot. Just gorgeous.

A wonder in white:

(By Hey There, Cupcake)

::dreamy sigh::

This next one makes me think of poofy Marie Antoinette gowns and fine china teacups:

(By Zoe Clark Cakes)

Doesn't that blue look like the softest suede? And look at the pearly sheen on the bottom tier! Plus there's the lace trim, the perfect bow, the teensy flowers...!!

At the opposite end of the style spectrum, I've got this bold, modern number:

(By Have Some Cake)

Those vivid watercolors are singing my song. And I spy a Hidden Mickey in the blue ruffles - think that was intentional? :D

Let's wrap things up with a gloriously subtle beach theme:

(By The Vagabond Baker)

I say "subtle" because it took me a while to spot all the elements! Starting from the bottom, there's sugar netting, a driftwood base, a sea urchin shell, a nautical rope heart, seashell "petals" (topped with pearls!), a fish scale pattern, and a coral topper!

I am in awe.

Hope you enjoyed the pretties! Happy Sunday!
