Sunday Sweets Would Like This Dance

Hey, I don't think I've ever featured dance Sweets before!

(By Crazy Sweets, Germany)

So let's boogie.

(By Op en Top Taart, The Netherlands)

Electric Avenue never looked brighter. I love these colors!

Or maybe a Sock Hop is more your style:

(By Cake Diane, Texas)

I'm a sucker for pink and teal with checkerboard tiles.

How about a wedding waltz?

(By Simone Louise, UK)

...with a sweet bouquet of flower girls?

(I can't find the baker! Help?)

I really thought their skirts were flower petals at first. So pretty!

Or maybe you're in the mood for something a little... dirty.

(Just Desserts By Jess, New York )

Heyooo.

Nobody puts this cake in a corner.

There are so many gorgeous ballet cakes out there, it was impossible to pick just one:

Love the drama of all this black and gold.

Then there's this one!

(By Kek Couture, Istanbul)

Those paintings on the bottom are giving me all the heart eyes. They almost made me miss the flying fairies on the sides!

I bet you never knew a hip-hop cake could be this Sweet:

(By 927 Cake Co., New Jersey)

'Cuz I didn't! This is the cutest.

If a rainbow ever came to life as a dance troupe, I bet it would look just like this:

(By Art 2 Eat Cakes, Colorado)

According to the baker this was inspired by the Rainbow's daughter, Polychrome, and all her cloud sisters - which are characters in Frank Baum's book "Road to Oz." So THAT's something amazing I learned today.

Now, I was going to end there, but then John convinced me you guys needed an extra little something today - something you'd totally love and not be offended by AT ALL.

So without further ado, please enjoy this cake of a Purple Minion Pole Dancer.

(By Vintage Cake Fairy, UK)

Bahahahaa!

Yep, that's exactly what we needed today.

Happy Sunday, my friends! Go dance like nobody's watching... or like everyone is. ;)

P.S. While we're dancing around the subject, here's a great way to keep your stretch jeans from falling down:

No Buckle No-Show Stretch Belt

This is my new favorite belt, y'all. It basically turns anything with belt loops into an elastic waist. So comfy I forget it's on, slimline so it doesn't show under my t-shirts, and NO BELT BUCKLE to dig into my belly or unbuckle for bathroom breaks. Woohoo!

You know how stretch jeans are forever sliding down when you sit or bend, so you have to keep hitching them back up? No more! I wear this with all my jeans now. It's entirely elastic, so it moves and stretches with you, zero painful digging. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone well endowed with squish in the belly area.

10 Bakers Who Would Really Suck At Pictionary

Ready, Set, DRAW!

1. Steak:

I guess "T-Bone" doesn't like his steak well done.
(HEYO!)

2. Guitar:

Strings are for sissies.

3. Truck Tire:

Yes, really.

4. The Eiffel Tower:

Try as I might, all I can see is the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story. Just me?

5. Basketball:

*sigh*

6. Flip-Flops:

Made from only the freshest diseased lungs.

7. Alligator:

Post-digestion.

8. Fire:

"Fire" going down in flames. The irony, it burns.

9. Airplane

"Surely you can't be serious."

"I am serious... and don't call me 'Shirley.'"

10. Elvis:

...left the building a long, LONG time ago. This looks more like David Bowie wearing a skunk.

P.S. This crossbody bag is one of my all-time favorite purses, and comes in 36 different colors:

Crossbody Tassel Bag

It's surprisingly lightweight while feeling high-end, with a butter smooth zipper and beautiful crisp stitching. Most "medium" purses are too small for me, but this one is super roomy for all my gear, and has a handy front zip pocket I use for my phone. (Which fits even in my giant phone cases!)

The style works for dressing up or everyday, and I looove all the color options. I have the orange, which is currently sold out, but the kelly green and lemon yellow are next on my wish list. They also have hot pink, denim blue, red, and of course more neutral options. For less than $18, it's hard not to buy a bunch!
