Sunday Sweets Goes Under The Sea

Today Sunday Sweets really takes a dive...

(By Shani's Sweet Creations)

...into undersea sweetness!

Yep, we're going to celebrate all things beneath the waves, like colorful coral and friendly octopodes:

Enormous hump-backed blue whales:

And a little of everything, like in this gorgeous hand-painted vignette:

(By My Sweet Cosette)

Wow.

Prefer something more cartoony and cute? GOT IT:

(By Fantasticakes Cecile Crabot)

Is it wrong to admit that *I* want this cake? Or at least all the googly-eyed creatures? SO CUTE.

Ooh, now check out this stylin' modern design:

(By Planet Cake)

That trail of bubbles? Genius.

Speaking of modern, I'm digging this abstract mermaid and starfish topper:

(By Gulnaz Mitchell Cake Design)

It almost has a stained glass feel to it, right?

LOVE the colors in this stack of sea urchins:

(By Cakelava)

If you look closely, you can see colorful little fish near the base, too!

Of course we can't have an "Under the Sea" theme without a certain red-headed mermaid:

(By Fabricake, based on the art of Tim Shumate)

She's just a bit more grown-up in this version. ;)

I like how the art is layered to give it depth, almost like a paper-cutting.

What else do you find under the sea? Ship wrecks and pirate treasure, of course!

(By Roses & Bows Cakery)

The aging on this is beeeeeaauuutiful. The sprinkling of sand! The curled up "map!" I even like the green snaily guy.

And finally, the ultimate undersea Coral Reef cake:

(By Cakes By Kim Simons)

Complete with a swimming sea turtle topper!

There's so much to see on this one, I'm *still* finding hidden fish. And do I spy little moray eels?

Sweeeeet.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

11 Utterly Bizarre Display Cakes Just Hangin' Out Like It's NBD

[NOTE: Today’s post will make SO much more sense if you know the Phineas & Ferb theme song.]

*****

Today's cakes are not special orders.

No one asked for them this way.

In fact, they were all found ready-made in bakery display cases, just waiting for the right customer and/or occasion to come along.

Like maybe...!!

Building a compost

Or fighting a wrestler

Or lighting up for Monkey Hour:

Discovering something that doesn't exist

(Hey!)

Or giving a cookie a "flower!"

[DUN DUN DUN!]

Black-tie crabs who wave

Creating nasty dots

Or exposing Miss Finklestein's brain

(It's under here! )

Finding a loco face

Wrecking a cookie cake

And driving your shoppers insane!

("What is this?!")

As you can see, there's a whole lot of stuff to wreck before school starts this Fall. 
So stick with us, 'cuz these wreckerators are gonna 
wreck 'em 
all!

Thanks to Jennifer G., Vanessa F., Nicole P., Tonya F., Melissa, Mollie M., Lydia D., Liz Z., Kayla P., Tommi S., who tells me that's supposed to be a dress, but all I see is a blind bunny.

Also here’s a much cuter variation on bunny ears that all you cat owners need to see:

Because sometimes you have to ask yourself: Just how brave AM I? :D
