Sunday Sweets Goes Green!

With St. Patrick's coming up this week, I thought we'd celebrate gorgeous shades of green:

Yep, whether you're looking for some Irish wedding inspiration:

Or you're just a sucker for all things emerald:

(By Sweet Tiers)

Have I got some treats for you!

(By Rosebud Cakes)

Love the piping on this one - and that subtle color fade!

Here's another in all buttercream:

Such a sweet lace pattern!

Some oh-so-elegant Celtic knots:

And no green at all, but I had to include this Claddagh design:

(By Sweet Cakes)

So perfect!

Now, back to the greens:

Ahhh, LOVE.

This is my favorite shade of green: bright, bold, and happy!

(In fact, I'm wearing my Chuck Taylors in this shade as I type this! :D)

I think I may have posted this one before, but if so, it's worth a repeat:

(By Couture Cakes by Rose)

Those ruffles are my heaven. HEAVEN I SAY.

And finally, since you know I have to include at least a LITTLE St. Patrick's Day cuteness:

(By KC Cakes)

D'awww.

Wait! One more!

(By Miss Couture)

Double d'awwww.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. Prepare for a triple dose of "Awww," because LOOK HOW CUTE:

Rex the Green Dragon

This teeny pocket-sized dragon comes in a bunch of different styles: wearing aviator goggles, nursing a singed wing, even skateboarding, heh. It's hard to pick a favorite; they're all so stinking adorable!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

12 Wow-Factor Wedding Cakes

I scroll through hundreds of gorgeous cakes every week, and after 10+ years it can be tough to find 10 or 11 to fit a specific theme each Sunday. So this week, my only requirement? Wedding cakes that made me say "WOW."

Starting with this sweet and airy Art Deco number:

(Amanda Earl Cake Design, UK )

It reminds me of stained glass!

And on the other end of the spectrum:

(Very Unique Cakes, New Jersey)

Ohhh, now this one is like red smoke.

I can't get enough of this color combo:

(Immaculate Confections, UK)

Navy, lavender, teal, and berry. SO GOOD.

Here come more rich berry and fuchsia tones:

(Lima Cakes, international instructor)

I love that tiny thread of gold around the edges.

At first glance I thought this next one was Haku, the dragon in Spirited Away:

(Artisan Cake Company, as featured here)

Once I realized it's actually a sugar glass spray of water, I was even more impressed! Incredible.

You don't see orange and black together much outside of Halloween, but this beauty makes a strong case for it:

(Tomima)

A definite WOW.

The tile on this mosaic seems to be floating up and apart, which is such a dreamy effect:

(Sweet Heather Anne, Michigan)

And this one looks like a thickly textured oil painting come to life:

(The Cocoa Cakery, Ontario)

Gorgeous.

Check out this contrasting wave of watercolor silk:

(Fluffy Thoughts Cakes, Virginia)

So many of these are more like sculpture than cake!

Over here I see a whirlwind of angel wings:

(Cakes By Mannix, location)

You can almost hear them fluttering, right?

I didn't realize how much I love rich metallics and mossy greens 'til I saw this:

(Sandra Draskovic, Peru)

Oooh. I want a dress like this!

And finally, a purple gem fit for a Queen:

(Kek Couture, Turkey)

WOW.

I hope these brought some Sweetness to your Sunday!

That last topper reminds me of a gilded jewelry box, so I went looking for the prettiest one I could find on Amazon:

Feyarl Vintage Jewelry Box

It also comes in red!
