Sunday Sweets Flutters On By

John's favorite animal is the butterfly, so after I made him a rockin' rainbow butterfly wreath I thought I'd look for some sweet cakes, too. In fact, this one's like his new wreath in cake form:

Mmm, rainbow goodness. I love they they're all different sizes and styles.

Here's a delicious Art Deco vibe:

Look how the gold scroll-work bridges the tiers! So cool.

I'm completely smitten with this flying frames design:

COMPLETELY. Such a fun idea!

And this one has a gothic elegance to it:

Those little red hearts add just the right touch.

Some of my favorite colors happening here:

I like how the branches form a frame. So sweet!

Ooh, now here's some advanced cakey architecture:

Flower topiary! It *does* have butterflies, but I'll admit I'm mostly loving those white poppies - which probably aren't even poppies, because I'm bad with flower names. Still. SO PRETTY.

Allow me to make up for the less-than-overwhelming number of butterflies on that last one with this:

Butterfly overload! And they're making a heart! Ah!

K, one last rainbow pretty for you:

(By McGreevy Cakes)

They're even flying right off the cake! And look - the rainbow rain has dripped on to the cake stand.
So cute.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Here's the 84-pc butterfly set I used to make John's wreath, I think you crafters are gonna love them:

(3D Butterfly Wall Magnet Set)

They're double-sided and come with both magnets and stickers. Definitely browse the projects in the reviews, there are so many pretty ideas!

Wreck Encounters of the Worst Kind

Have you experienced a Wreck Encounter with an Unexplainable Sweet Object (USO)? Watch for these signs!

Wreck Encounter of the First Kind: Visual sighting less than 50 feet away that shows considerable -- albeit completely useless -- detail.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Wreck Encounter of the Second Kind: A physiological effect is manifested, such as confusion or discomfort in the viewer.

*hurk*

Wreck Encounter of the Third Kind: An animated creature is present. These include bipeds,

um... [head tilt]... robots?

and whatever these are:

On the plus side, they don't seem able to breathe our atmosphere.

Wreck Encounter of the Fourth Kind: Direct communication between wrecks and humans.

Shhhh! Don't distract me... I can -- almost -- make it out...

Wreck Encounter of the Fifth Kind: Death associated with an Unexplainable Sweet Object.

Poor Mickey. It was a real blood bath.

(We experts call this "wrecksanguination.")

Wreck Encounter of the Sixth Kind: The creation of a human/USO hybrid.

THE POD PEOPLE ARE COMING.

If you've had a Wreck Encounter with a USO, send Cake Wrecks photographic evidence right away!
(Just don't get caught taking the pictures...)

We WANT to Believe!!!

Out of this world thanks to Anabel J., Cat, Anony M., Mark H., Nate W., Bridget A., & Robert A. for helping prove wrecks are out there. (Um, wait a minute, guys... That's NOT one of the accepted hand gestures...)

And to shed a little light on your next laptop encounter, how about this astronaut USB light?

You close her visor to turn off the light! BRILLIANT!

And at only $9 Prime on Amazon, it's a STELLAR stocking stuffer. (See what I did there?)
