Sunday Sweets Goes FULL UNICORN

Have you noticed unicorns and rainbows are all the rage again lately? There are unicorn cafes, unicorn drinks - heck, I even spotted a unicorn grilled cheese. o.0

Isn't enough enough?

The answer, of course, is no.

NO AMOUNT OF UNICORNS IS EVER ENOUGH.

Squeeee!

Yes, this Lisa Frank-loving woman-child is jumping on the technicolor bandwagon today, peeps, because look at these unicorn macarons:

(By Mac Lab Bakery & Cafe)

They have Fruity Pebble manes! Ahhh!

And look at this watercolor drip deliciousness:

(By Truly Scrumptious Cakes By Design)

Pastel rainbow heaven!

You know that thing where someone takes one awesome thing and mashes it together with another awesome thing?

Well, I give you:

Unicorn Ice Cream Cone Cookies.

Or how about these sweet little cake pops?

(By Just Add Sugar)

The little rosy cheeks! Ah!

A lot of so-called Unicorn treats are really just rainbow-colored food, and while I will never complain about rainbow-colored food, I do like that this Sweetness at least has a twisty unicorn horn on top:

Those rainbow tiers are perfection! And do I spy cotton candy? OooOOOoooh.

Who else suddenly wants to nuzzle a cupcake?

Now, I'm not saying these donuts really look like unicorns, but they're so stinkin' cute I think we can agree they score a Hole-In-One.

(By Christina's Cupcakes)

Get it? A hole in one? AAAAAI'll stop now.

I've never really been onboard with "naked" cakes... until now:

(Featured here, but the baker isn't listed. Anyone know?)

D'awww. If ever a cake deserved to be naked, it's this one.

And finally, let's end with the cake that turned me into a starry-eyed six-year-old again:

(By With Love And Confection)

It has meringue wings! And a mermaid crown! EEEEE!!!

Happy Sunday, everyone! May your week be as magical - and as colorful - as these unicorns!

Gilt-y Pleasures

If you're groaning over "Gilt-y Pleasures," then I have a subtitle for you:
"If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it."

:D

I know, I know, but I think you'll forgive me once you see today's cakes - because these things are seriously amazing.

Sha-POW! See what I mean?

Here's a Pretty in pink:

(By Elizabeth's Cake Emporium)

Oooh, and this one has a hand painted room inside it:

(By Elysia Root Cakes)

Look at all the moldings! And the little chandelier! Ah!

More proof that stunning things can come in small packages:

(By Fine Cakes by Zehra)

Love these colors together. The cool gray really balances the red and gold.

Check out all these frills and filigrees:

(By Karen Leong Cake Design)

So many details! I'd love to see this one up close.

A more modern feel with clean pastels:

(By The Whimsical Cakery)

That mint and gold is so sweet together!

Ah, but nothing beats black, red, and gold for pure drama:

(By Royal Cakes)

Timeless.

Here's another with a little chandelier room inside!

(By Cake Opera Co.)

This is absolutely stunning, you guys. Look at the hand painted panels! And all the trim and "fabric" draping! WOWIE.

Meanwhile, these soft pastels are singing my song:

(By The Cake Duchess)

::dreamy sigh::

So good.

And finally, another timeless beauty with juuuust the right amount of glitz:

(By Carrie's Cakes)

...by which I mean ALL the glitz. Love that mosaic texture mixed with all the trim and moldings!

Hope you guys enjoyed today's Gilt-y Pleasures!

Happy Sunday!

P.S. I know a gilded rose sounds kinda cheesy, but LOOK:

Enchanted Blue Rose, 24kt Gilded

It comes with the glass dome and LED lighting that changes from warm white to colorful. You do have wrap the lights around it yourself (boo), but the customer photos have me drooling:

::swoon::
