Easter Sunday Sweets
Hey all! John (the hubby of Jen) here. So my dear and wonderful wife, knowing how I get all weepy when I see kittens and bunnies and tribbles and the like, has asked me to take care of this week's Sunday Sweets. I'd like to think this is due to my incredible wit and charm, but it's probably more because she has to write a bazillion posts in the next two days. So, with no further ado, I give you: Easter Sweets!
This first one may be the most adorable bunny I have ever seen. Reminds me of those "Dunny" dolls Jen likes:
(Amy F. found it on Chocmocakes' Flickr stream here.) Who's a cute widdle Dunny bunny? It's you, it's you!*
Next we have some fluffy bunny 'tocks. Jen thought the bottom texture looked a little like floral foam, but I think it's funky-cool.
(Found by Linda A., and made by Newsums of Cake Central. )This next one has an unusual color scheme for an Easter cake, but it's nice and the bunny on top is super well done:
(Another find from Linda A. on Cake Central - this time by Dutch-Cakebox.)As you all know, Jen is not overly fond of Easter lamb cakes. (Hey I just thought of a joke: What do you get when you eat most of an Easter cake? A quarter SHEEP cake! Booyah! Next stop, Reader's Digest!)
*ahem* As I was saying, Jen doesn't usually dig the lamb cakes - especially the smoking kind - but this one earned her seal of approval:
(Made by Andrea Schwarz. Thanks to Heather R. for submitting it!) Personally I love the looks on their faces; like someone just jostled the cake and they all fell over. Cute!
And what would Easter be without a giant Easter egg and some lazy bunnies?**
(Pamela found it on Flickr and it was made by Cakes by Ashley. Thanks!)
From the embossed pattern in the chocolate fondant to the sweet little chick on the top, this is one gorgeous cake. I've kneaded and rolled my fair share of fondant, so I can tell you that that egg was not easy. (If I had done it, there would be a big jagged seam up the back and pleats all over the place.) Also, Jen says the colors are "faboo", which I think means "cool."
And finally, here's a cake that both Jen and I looked at for a moment and said, "Wow, it's beautiful - but what is it?"
(Also submitted by a ton of you, and made by the one and only Highland Bakery.)After a few moments we figured out that it's an Easter bonnet with a bunny cameo on it. (It's probably hard to tell because the edges are slightly cropped.) The skill shown in that ribbon and feathers is super impressive.
Well, that's it for me. Thanks to everyone who sent in submissions, and Happy Easter!
** Great name for a rock band.
