Sunday Sweets: Into The West

Today’s theme is some Sweet Western wonders!

K, I'm calling it: Cutest. Cactus. EVAH.

So grab your Stetson, partners:

And your prettiest boots!

(By Sen Cakes)

Is it really cake? Yep! Although you'd be forgiven for doubting; it's based on a real boot, and the two are all but identical. Check out how Rose used piping to mimic the embroidery stitching:

AMAZING.

Speaking of snazzy accessories, I'm loving this orange bandana:

(By Ana Beatriz Carrard)

Although most belt-buckle-and-bandana cakes these days seem to be inspired by everyone's favorite toy Sheriff:

Can't blame 'em, though; Woody really does have fabulous fashion sense.

Here's a little beauty for all you budding equestrians out there:

LOVE.

Or how about this for welcoming the newest lil' cowboy into the family?

(By It's A Piece of Cake)

Those hand painted designs are stunning.

And now for some of the sweetest Western wedding cakes I could find:

(By Becky Willard)

So that embossed "leather" and belt buckle completely fooled me, but I checked, and yes, they're edible! (Not the gems, though.) Mega hat tip to Becky; you really got me, my friend!

Next, a modern twist on a classic style:

(By Gateaux Inc.)

Banksy moved to Texas, y'all. You heard it here first.

(Ok, maybe not, but doesn't that look like it belongs in a gallery?)

Another woodgrain design, but this one's a real peach:

(By Sweet On Cake)

So many wedding cakes have the horseshoes perches on top, but I love how these are hanging around the bottom tier! The weathering on the gold is a great touch, too.

And finally, for the black-tie cowboy affair:

(By Cakes By Lisa)

Loverly.

Just promise me someone was wearing rhinestone cowboy boots.

Happy Sunday!

Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK,Canada.

Oodles and Noodles of "Fun"

Minions, a cafe in Jakarta has recently started selling "cakes" made out of Ramen Noodles, and as you might imagine.... I HAVE THOUGHTS.

Which I will now express in Office gifs, because this is the internet.

Thanks(?) to Crafty Diply for the nightmare fuel. Hit the link if you want to know more - although how they get these things to stay in shape remains a mystery for the ages.

Or, hey, if you really love Ramen that much, then why not get a cute note pad instead?

Ramen Notes

These are way cuter (the paper is printed with noodles!) AND it won't scar anyone for life. WIN WIN.
