Sunday Sweets: Wild Kingdom

Today is my birthday and Jen is taking me to Animal Kingdom because Jen is awesome.
(Also because the temperature here finally dropped below 100.)

So naturally, I have to post amazing animal cakes. Begin!

D'awwww. Look how cute! And now I want a flamingo. I wonder if you can litter box train them...

Prepare yourself for this next one:

Also, look at the way the water in the painting comes out onto the cake board. So impressive.

Turtle time!

And check out all the different types of coral. Now I want to go snorkeling.

I feel like this next one might be the most majestic animal cake I've ever seen.

Seriously. Look at the detailing and textures. Masterful, I tell you.

O.o

"We're majestic, too..."

Yes. Yes you are.

Jen and I just went to the Georgia Aquarium and spent no less than 2 hours watching the otters frolic. Because frolic is the only word to describe what otters do. And float. They do a lot of floating.

Look! An armadillo!

Funny story. We have a motion sensor on our back porch light and when it turns on, most of the time it's one of these guys. The rest of the time, it's possums. And cats. And possibly ax murderers.

But you know what never wanders through my back yard?

Swans. Although, that would be really cool. And I can't even fathom how long it took to place those feathers. Awesome.

And now, an adorable zebra:

You know, sometimes I forget that these are all cakes. Can you believe the structural engineering that went into balancing that cake on one leg. That's why these bakers are the best of the best.

And finally, my favorite animal ever:

(By Avalon Cakes)

Just look at that airbrushing. Perfect.
