Sunday Sweets Goes Crazy Cat Lady

Cats are pretty awesome, you guys. The purrs, the head-butts, the constant disapproving stare that makes you question your life choices; they've got it all.

Kind of like this cutie-patootie kitty cake!

(By Tasteful Cakes in California)

Isn't it purr-fect?
(I'm getting the puns out of the way early. You're welcome.)

Check out this sweet vintage style:

D'awww. The ruffly roses are a sweet touch.

John and I have two felines of mass destruction and for some reason this one reminded me of Eva after her spay day a few years ago:

Some delicate kitty silhouettes:

Look at those details! I love the pink yarn ball and little hair bow.

Also digging this cute cartoony style:

The little mice!

While this one is all about sleek lines:

Change the color and it also works for Halloween!

This prosh little tabby is almost - ALMOST - upstaged by the incredible sweater texture below her:

(By Cakes Mogilev in Belarus)

Look at that "knit" sugar! And the little pom-poms!

Another kitty straight out of a story book:

All hand-painted!

This one screams - er, yowls? - "Paris" to me:

[By Sweetlake Cakes]

Look closely; some of the polka dots are paw prints.

And finally, a sweet kitty smile in the cheeriest pastels:

[By Natalia Casaballe]

Anyone else in the mood for cake right meow? :)

I hope these made you smile! Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. Fellow cat lovers, I found us the perfect corner shelf:

Stretching Cat Corner Shelf

LOOK HOW CUTE!
(If you don't like the wood look, it also comes in white, gray, and black.)

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Sunday Sweets Spotlight: Elena Gnut Cakes

I'm doing something a little different this week, Sweets fans:
All of today's cakes are by the same baker.

Why?

Because after ten years of searching out the best cakes the web has to offer, it takes a lot to impress me. And Elena Gnut, a culinary artist from Kaliningrad, Russia, knocks my sugar-loving socks off. Her cakes are pure art, incredibly unique, and I think you're going to love them.

Here, just look at her hot air balloon cake topped with floating butterflies:

That's all hand-painted! And her soft watercolors on the butterflies make them feel like something out of a dream.

More surreal sweetness: this leaping goldfish:

Everything here seems to defy gravity - and you KNOW those chocolate orbs are filled with something delicious.

I love the 3D sculpted wings on this fairy/angel:

And speaking of sculpting... this is cake:

WOW.

This one should be on a marble plinth in an art museum:

In fact, Elena could sell photos of this, right? I think I could stare at those textures all day.

Have you picked up on the subtle Gothic vibe to Elena's work? If so, then it probably won't surprise you that she's a big Tim Burton fan:

And can we talk about the genius of a Tim Burton-inspired Snow White and Little Mermaid?!

Most of Elena's cakes are pure whimsy, though, light and sweet:

D'awwwww. I may have squeed rather loudly over this one.

Another gravity-defyer:

Look at those feathery clouds! They must be cotton candy, but they look so much like real down feathers its messing with my brain.

This one has a kind of rose petal wind chime on top:

Again, dreamy and beautiful.

This one caught my eye since my parents are currently touring the midwest on their Harley:

I adore that soft color palette - so rustic and peaceful.

And finally, one last show-stopper (can you tell I'm binging Great British Bake-Off?) that literally made me gasp:

Absolutely stunning.

Elena is the only baker I follow on Instagram, and that's some of the highest praise I can give. Go give her follow for more eye candy like this in your feed, and be sure to browse the rest of her account, too, because dang, you guys. DANG.

Just to be clear, this post is not sponsored in any way, and Elena has no idea who I am. I just wanted to share something Sweet. :)

Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. It's never too early to start decorating for spooky season, and these stick-on bats were my biggest hit last year:

3D Halloween Bats, Exterior Grade, 60 pc set

They're made of sturdy plastic, come in 4 different sizes, and have adhesive pads to easily stick them up anywhere in or outside your home. (I put a whole belfry of them on our front door.) (I don't know if "belfry" is right, but I'm going with it. :D) Even better, the whole 60 piece set is only $9 Prime!
