Sunday Sweets Would Like A Word

Tomorrow is National Dictionary Day, folks, so what better way to use our words than with beautiful cakes?

After all, cakes can say so much.

They can talk about what's important:

(By Mea Sculpture Cake Design)

Share what's in your heart:

(By Nashville Sweets)

...and do it in any language!

(By Le Dolci)

(My love language is cake. WHAT.)

Maybe it's your favorite saying:

(By Queen City Bakeshop)

Or a snippet of poetry:

(By M Cakes Sweets)

Or a favorite childhood story:

(By Sugar and Spice)

Maybe you know all you really need:

(By Mely's Cake Design)

Or you want to get dramatic with a single letter:

(By Mark Joseph Cakes)

And if you can't choose just one word (or two or ten)?

(By Chatter Cakes)

This works.

In fact, sometimes there's nothing more beautiful than blocks of handwritten text:

(By Lovely Cakes)

Look how romantic with all these great textures:

(By Yuma Couture Cakes)

Feathers and stone. I like it.

But let's end with something seasonally appropriate: an homage to Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas:

(By Cupcakes By Louise)

For it is plain to see,

These cakes are Sweet as they can be!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

No Offense

Since our posts here on CW invariably manage to offend someone, we've decided that *today's* commentary won't be offensive to anyone. Literally. In fact, it's going to be SO inoffensive that I'm trying not to fall asleep as I type thikjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

Huh? What? Where am I? Oh, yeah, non-offensive.

I forgot to mention that I'll be randomly choosing cakes from our archives, so there's really no telling what cakes we'll end up with. Rest assured that the commentary will be completely inoffensive, though. Promise.

Okay, here goes. Our first cake is #4,312:

"Hey-o! Are those supposed to be balloons, or, like, what?"

Huh, this inoffensive stuff is easy! Nothing to it.

Okay, next we have cake #245...

Hm. Inoffensive. Okay. "Boy, oh boy! What a fine, upstanding reputable bird that is! I salute pay respect to the baker who came up with imagined this design! That's not a peacock, is it?"

Alright, so this is kind of hard difficult. I'm sure I'll do better on the next one, though.

Cake #8,062:

[biting lip] Uh. Hang on.

[looks up e-mail]

Well, according to Stetson here, this is actually a bakery display in Colombia. [drumming fingers] Hm. Oh! I know: "Hey, was this decorated by gorillas or something?"

Yeah, I think I'm hitting my stride again. No *way* I'm going to offend anyone with that.

Next!

Cake #4,207:

[crickets chirping]

Okay, last one. [Shaking digital dice] C'mon, inoffensive!

Cake #2,093:

I give up.

Denise, Lisa M., Stetson J., Brindy W., Karin D., & Megan C., if you're still reading this, thanks. I think.
