10 Frosty Winter Sweets That Have Nothing To Do With Christmas

I hear it's still winter in most of the U.S., which is AWESOME. You know, for me. Here in Florida. Where all "winter" themed things disappear right after Christmas.

I love the look of all things snowy and icy, though, so I went hunting for some gorgeous wintry cakes we can all gaze at in wonder while pretending it's not 80 degrees outside. (Granted, some of you don't have to pretend. :p)  

Starting with this cool blue number:

(Op en Top Taart, the Netherlands)

The pom poms! The petals! And the little flowers are so cheery and sweet.

And from cool blue to pearly pink:

That snowflake is actually hanging inside the cake. AMAZING. Also loving the frosted texture.

To quote your dentist, open up and say "AWWWWW."

Look at the teeny tiny cardinal! 

Such beautiful colors in this deer little scene:

Look how she added texture to the painting by piping on some of the branches and snowdrifts. There are even 3D snowflakes and tiny silver pearls!

I had to stare a while before I realized this Peter Rabbit cake is NOT floating:

That pool at the bottom is amazing, really looks like an icy lake!

This snow-dusted Fairy Stump is truly magical:

Plus I want to eat those cherries. Nomz.
