Sunday Sweets: Threadcakes!
As you may recall, Threadless.com hosts an annual contest called Threadcakes where bakers replicate one of Threadless' shirt designs in cake form. Threadless shirts are super fun, and the participating decorators are always amazingly creative. The contest just wrapped this week, and since Jen is one of the judges again this year, I thought I'd share some of *my* favorite submissions.
(I'll post a photo of the shirt design first, followed by the cake entry.)
I'm in love with this design titled "Alice's Sewing Basket:"
And here's Melissa's phenomenal matching cake:
Here's one called "Firelight Cottage."
And Jennifer's cake:
This shirt is too cool: "Doc Franklin's Miracle Tonic"
But Neli's cake is even better:
You can see closer detail shots at the link. So cool.
Vina did an awesome job of bringing the design to life:
"Strange Birds" is one of my favourite designs on Threadless. Look at these colours!
Cora's cake based on the design is just as fun.:

And the rainbow pools are chocolate ganache mud cakes? Yeah. I'm so there.
But Georgia's cake really blew me away:
This sweet design is called "A Vehicle Built for Dreams." It reminds me of books I read as a kid:
Sarah's cake is so beautifully painted...
"Sugar Land" is the perfect design to turn into a cake:

It took her a whole week to make! Well worth it, Megan.
