Another paw print:
A... butterfly?

It's SO easy to get distracted when I'm looking for Sunday Sweets.
I'll be looking at a gorgeous marbled cake, like this beauty:
(By Jenna Rae Cakes in Canada)
...mesmerized by the swoopy swirls, and then --
SQUIRREL!
No, really, squirrels. Pastel ones:
(By Frosted Art Bakery and Studio in Texas)
Talk about stellar - look at those rings! And I love the sugar rock base.
Wait. I wasn't looking for planet cakes. What was I researching?
Hmmm.
I'm stumped.
(By Natalie Madison's Art is in Cakes in Arkansas)
But it sure is a pretty one; all hand painted!
Hang on...
Are those cupcakes?
(By baked by jin in California)
They look so succulent. 😉
Oops, I did it again, didn't I? Y'know, Pinterest can lead you around in circles.
Fabulous, abstract circles:
(By Historias del Ciervo, Columbia)
I love the pastels with black.
But I'm off topic again. Seriously, it's enough to curl your -- uh --
Hair?
(By Avalon Cakes School of Sugar Art in Colorado)
Ha!
I wonder, if Medusa looks in the mirror, does she turn herself to stone?
Speaking of stone, did you know "concrete" cakes are a thing now?
(By Greenbird Cake Studio in Australia)
That's all buttercream! How?!
And why is this llama wearing sunglasses?
(By Dulcefina in Peru)
Then again, who cares? It's adorable.
That's why it's OK to get a little distracted once in a while.
There are so many gorgeous cakes out there, you never know where they're going to lead.
(By Artisan Cake Company in Oregon)
But you can be sure they'll open up an ocean of possibilities.
And that's sweet.
Happy Sunday!

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
