11 MerMay Sweets

It's Mer-May, minions!

Let's make some waves.

This sugar glass "water" is the stuff that dreams are made of. How did they get those color blends? 
HOW?

When I first saw this cake I thought it was tiny, but it's actually huge!

(Paloma Sempere Gras, Spain)

And look at all that detail! I can't get over her floating hair.

More gorgeous sugar glass:

And look at these adorable pastel cuties:

(Patricia Arribálzaga, Spain)

I like the way the tail are tucked in the wavy layers, so clever.

Plus I have to show you one more from Patricia, because this tail pop is too cute:

Of course if we're talking mermaids, we have to include a certain red-head:

(From Instagram, but I can't track the baker down. Help?)

This is my new favorite art of Ariel, I love how pastel she is. And check out the little clams on top, with the pearls inside!

And now for something... completely different:

(Daniel Diéguez, UK)

What can I say except, you're welcome. :D

(I was so tempted to put this one last and call him the Happy Ending.)

I almost didn't include this evil siren, but I think you guys will appreciate her total badassness:

(Dmytrii Puga, Ukraine)

Ahhh-MAZING. I still can't believe she's cake.

My friend Bianca reminded me I have to show off a cake of the ORIGINAL mermaid inspiration, so here ya go:

(Kyrsten's Sweet Designs, Pennsylvania)

Barbara Manatee says, "Draw me like your French girls."

:D

(DAT FACE.)

Not technically a mermaid, but this stained glass hippocampus designs is too stunning to leave out:

(Steel Penny Cakes, Pennsylvania)

And last but not least, an Art Nouveau beauty that made my jaw drop:

(Fatiha Kadi Cake Designer, Hungary)

You guys go on ahead. I'mma just stare at this a while.

::dreamy sigh::

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope the rest of your week goes swimmingly.

Hashbrown Ladylike

Bakers, take a note:

Some of you will get that reference.

And that's enough for me.

Sometimes I think I should just let you guys do the captions, though.

For example, Patty titled this one, "Spring! Butterfly love!"

And combined with that insane-eyed vomit pile there it just cracked. me. UP.

Then there was this e-mail, which had only a single word:

"Ladylike."

[mic drop]

This week! On E! True Hollywood Story! How one lovable sidekick:

Really hit the powder:

Oh, Olaf, say it isn't so.

And finally, they didn't want any writing, so they asked for the Alligator cake "as is."

Sadly, they didn't get it.

But then again, neither did the baker.

:D

Thanks to Laura E., Patty M., Jane, Julie V., & Staci O. for reminding me of this snippet of wisdom from Twitter:
