Sunday Sweets Gets OVER DRAMATIC

There's a place for casual elegance, but sometimes you want something a little more... elaborate. Something bold, something over-the-top. Something that grabs your eyeballs by the collar and slaps 'em around a bit - in a good way.

You know, like this:

BOOYAH.

So good.

You want sparkles?
We've got sparkles:

(By Artisan Cake Company)

Booyah AGAIN.

Think you need a big cake to make a big statement? Think again:

(By Modern Lovers)

This little gem packs a pretty punch!

It doesn't get more classic than black, white, and lipstick red:

(By Very Unique Cakes)

Or, for that matter, black, white, and gold:

(By MILA)

Here's the same color palette with a little more joie de vivre:

(By JT Cakes)

Ahhh, Paris. Where even the streetlights cast little heart shadows. (So cute!)

I just realized most of these have been on the dark side so far - but believe me, you don't need any color at all to make jaws drop:

(By Cakes Decor member Beth)

This drama queen is a vision in ruffles!

Or how about this snow white wonder:

(By Bobette and Belle)

That hand-piped lace is blowing my mind.

Now add a bold pop of red swirly flowers:

(By Made With Love)

And don't forget a little a lot of bling!

(By Practical Imperfect Mom)

And one final statement piece proves that not all that glitters is gold:

(By Fine Cakes by Zehra)

Sometimes it's silver.

:D

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Our Sweets may be formal, but this year we are alllll about comfy casual:

Adult Onesie Pajamas

Besides, 'tis the season for wearing cozy PJs all day, right?

Get A Clue

Wait, wait, I've got this.

I'm going with:

Mr. Mustard...

...in the doghouse...

...at a Baby Shower...

...when a Royal Coachman showed up...

...with a ...uh...buzzsaw?...

And said,

Did I win?

Thanks to Susan N., Persimmon M., Melissa C., Kathleen B., Christiana F., and Bonnie Louise L., who think we're going to need a bigger envelope.

I was going to link a collector's edition of Clue here, but this looks more interesting:

Cat Crimes Brain Game

Cat Crimes is an interactive version of those logic puzzles we did in school, remember those? It has 40 levels of increasing difficulty, so it's good for kids and adults alike. And hey, the cat art is adorable.
