Sunday Sweets: Bright Summer Florals

One of my favorite things about Summer is all the COLOR. Bright florals are everywhere, and I can't get enough:

I love it when bakers paint with buttercream!

I'm also smitten with the bright, almost neon pastels that are all the rage this season:

Doesn't this make you want a fruity cocktail slushy? Or one of those new raspberry Dole Whips at Disney? Mmmm.

Speaking of Disney, at Epcot's last Flower & Garden Fest there was a booth dying silk scarves in a water-marbling bath. The designs looked a lot like this! So soft and delicate.

Or how about a bold marbled design?

YES PLEASE.

The bright pink flowers are perfect with this - not to mention the shiny gold accents. Hnnng.

 A gorgeous purple number:

How funky cool are those tentacle branches at the bottom?

And check out the satiny sheen on this beauty:

Oof. So perfect!

More dreamy neon pastels:

I love the splatter effect around the hummingbirds! Modern and so, so gorgeous.

I keep coming back to this pink-and-blue color combo, but can you blame me?

(By Albena Cakes, Quebec, Canada)

It's SO pretty. Plus this embroidered look has my jaw on the keyboard. HOW?

Speaking of colors that go great together, look at this:

(By Julian Angel, Columbia)

WOW. Who would have thought to put yellow, fuchsia, and purple together? Besides this genius baker, I mean? This is one of those Sweets I could have framed on a wall and just stare at all day. Mmmm.

And finally, one more candidate for framing:

It's just so FUN, right? They even snuck in some orange, my favorite color! Eeeeee!!

Yep, I'll be over here swooning, you guys go on without me. 

Hope these made you smile, everyone! Happy Sunday!

When Photo Cakes Go Wrong

Karen noticed something a bit odd about her son's "sports-themed" cake:

I mean, besides it being this ugly.

Here, let's take a closer look at that top picture, shall we?

ENHANCE!!

Why, yes, that IS a watermark... and a file name.

So did the baker really just grab the first thing she found on Google Image Search??

Of course not.

It's more like the 10th thing she found on Google Image Search.

I checked.

(If you'd like to play along, just type in "lacrosse sticks clipart.")

Bakers don't have to print the file name to wreck a photo cake, though.

They can also do this!

Or this!

Or the baker could leave off the image entirely, and just write the design number instead!

Trust us, Rebecca, it's better this way.

You know how, in every crime show, they always find a hidden room with a whole wall covered in newspaper clippings & creepy photo collages?

NOW IT COMES IN CAKE!

I like to think these are all the baker's victims.

"Looks like someone," [removing sunglasses] "GOT SERVED."

And finally, for you Doctor Who fans, here's how to take this famous Van Gogh print from the show:

And make a Whovian cry until they laugh:

BAD BAKER.

Thanks to Karen C., Jennifer I., Mindi A., John P., Kelli, & Anony M. for taking the time.
