Sunday Sweets Springs In

It's officially Spring!!

Which, I know, doesn't mean much when you're still buried in snow or already rockin' the flip-flops.
(GUILTY.)

Still, Spring means flowers and happy colors, so today, that's what you get. And you're gonna like it.

SHA-POW.

See? Happy cake.

And BOOYA, sweet mini florals for an engagement cake!

Tell me you're not smiling, 'cuz I've got more.

(By Kiara's Cakes)

Like this! Something about that color combo equals instant eye candy for me.

Of course Spring is all about gettin' down and dirty, so brace yourself:

SO DIRTY. And gorgeous. And kinda cute, if you like snails.

Here comes another natural beauty who's all bark and lots of bites:

(By Sweetness)

Phenomenal Fondant Powers, look at these textures! This is one that must be bitten to be believed; I've never seen a better tree bark OR more delicate ruffles.

Speaking of double-takes, here's another one that fooled me:

(By McGreevey Cakes)

The pitcher is cake, if you can believe it - I'm still not sure I do! What I do know is I'm in love.

Here's a fun modern take in bright pinks and yellows:

It's so Springy, right? And look at that embroidery texture! Incredible!

Now my favorite color, with my favorite flowers:

(By Torta Nicoletta)

Orange + Poppies = Pure Jen Joy.

Or how about a wheel barrow bouquet?

(By Golumbevskaya Olesya)

That's all sugar paste work, with a cake barrow!

Let's wrap things up with one more bold and bright number - and I freely admit I'm playing favorites:

(By Lumipo)

MORE POPPIES! Woot woot! And how fun is that green "barn-wood"? (The topper is two hearts with a padlock and chain between them.) My favorite is the hand-painting, though, inspired by the art of Colleen Parker. So good.

Hope this made your Sunday a little more Springy, peeps, and a lot more happy!

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:

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:

(By Crumb De La Crumb, featured here)

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

(By Sweet Cakes)

So perfect!

Now, back to the greens:

(By Charm City Cakes, featured here)

Ahhh, LOVE.

(By Cakes2Cupcakes)

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!
