Sunday Sweets: Masquerade!

Mardi Gras is this week, peeps, and you know what THAT means:

(Rachel Noel Designs)

Time to make Fat Tuesday live up to its nommilicious name!

Although I found so many gorgeous masquerade cakes this week I've decided today will be less Mardi Gras and more carnival masks in general. That way I can show off ALL the colors.

Speaking of which, let's kick off with a classic:

(By Petit Cali Cupcakes)

Ahhh. Gold leaf, black lace, and red roses were meant to be together.

Or for something kicky:

(By Jessica's Cakes & Cupcakes)

Love the topsy turvy design here; doesn't it look like it's dancing?

You guys, these textures are everything:

(By Shannon Bond Cake Design)

What are those on the bottom? Glass drops? And the berry sprigs are perfection.

Here's one inspired by fire and ice:

I like the reversed colors and patterns on the mask.

And another stunner:

(By Kelvin Chua of Vinism Sugar Art)

Look at those metallics! Ah! And the butterfly mask matches the one on the cake board!

A sweet pastel number:

(By The Frostery)

So many cute elements - see the striped handle for the top mask? And I'm digging the random confetti bits sprinkled around.

If you're looking for wedding inspiration, I've got you covered right here:

(By Ana Paz Cakes)

Ahh-MAZING.

And this next one is - dare I say it? - peachy keen:

(By The Brighton Cake Company)

Those are all handcrafted sugar flowers - can you believe it? So gorgeous, I want one to wear!

And finally, I don't know how they did this next one, but I think I'm in love:

(By Clairella Cakes)

Look at that oh-so-subtle leafy texture, and those colors! Ah! Reminds me of old-fashioned marble paper, or a soft watercolor painting. And while I'm collecting cake things to wear, I'd like that top mask, pretty please. :D

Hope you all enjoyed! Have a sweet Sunday, and a merry Mardi Gras!
