Sunday Sweets For Book Lovers Day

This Wednesday is Book Lovers Day, my friends, and I know *JUST* how to celebrate!

Assuming you can convince your guests these are actually edible, of course:

(By Cloud 9 Cakes)

Terry Pratchett fans, prepare to have your jaws drop:

(By DeviantArt member Barracude-Bruce's wife)

Or maybe you'll just make stunned sputtering noises, like I did. :) Look at all that detail! Disc World has truly never looked sweeter.

This stunning Les Mis cake has little barricades at the four corners:

(By Cup A Dee Cakes)

Show of hands: who else is humming the soundtrack now?

A fun library design:

(By Biscuiteers of London)

And another you'll never believe is cake, made for a Sylvia Plath fan:

(By Sweet Ruby Cakes)

I'm trying to imagine the time this must have taken - all those little keys! - and my mind is positively boggling.

Here's a classic:

(By Über Angel Cakes)

That Shakespeare portrait is hand-painted, and I'm loving the aged leather finish.

Or how about a more modern favorite?

(By Astonishing Cakes, featured here)

I admit it: I haven't read The Fault In Our Stars, because I'm allergic to sad. I know enough to appreciate the cigarettes and some of the sayings, though, and this is truly Sweet.

Can't have a book lover's post without a little Potter magic, of course:

(By TIER Luxury Cakes, who appear to be permanently closed)

I'm delighted that these titles are actually books within books. Very meta.

Another classic, done to perfection:

(By Celebrate With Cake)

I think I speak for us all when I say: thank goodness they went with a rose instead of a horse head. :D

And finally, of all the incredible Sweets today, this is the one I had the most trouble believing was actually cake:

(By Ron Ben-Israel Cakes)

Because wow. Such a brilliant touch with the butterflies, too; they add so much life and color!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Now, let's all go curl up with a good book.

I found a baking book just for us, minions:

I Literally Can't Think Of Any More Literal Puns

Oooh, look, they remembered the H this time!

That joke totally makes sense if you remember The Cake That Started It All. 
(Or the cover of the Cake Wrecks book.)

 

"So what do you want me to write?"

Gotta love how the baker drew her own reaction .gif.

 

"Any special design or colors?"

"No, just a 'Happy Birthday' theme."

 

"Did you say you wanted a number?"

"Yeah, a big 10."

 

"Anything else?"

ROGER THAT.

 

Thanks to Cynthia H., Donna B., Erik N., Maria N., & Rachel R., who knows REAL men use antlers in all of their decorating. ("Oh what a guy, Gas-TOOOOOON!")

Oh btw, if you want your own literal LOL in a more permanent material, Amazon has just the thing:

“Written in Stone” Stone

For the person you never want to take for granite.
