10 Frosty Winter Sweets That Have Nothing To Do With Christmas
I hear it's still winter in most of the U.S., which is AWESOME. You know, for me. Here in Florida. Where all "winter" themed things disappear right after Christmas.
I love the look of all things snowy and icy, though, so I went hunting for some gorgeous wintry cakes we can all gaze at in wonder while pretending it's not 80 degrees outside. (Granted, some of you don't have to pretend. :p)
Starting with this cool blue number:
(Op en Top Taart, the Netherlands)
The pom poms! The petals! And the little flowers are so cheery and sweet.
And from cool blue to pearly pink:
(Fancy That Cake, Missouri)
That snowflake is actually hanging inside the cake. AMAZING. Also loving the frosted texture.
To quote your dentist, open up and say "AWWWWW."

Awwwwww.
Or maybe you prefer your woodland creatures with a little more... bite?

In fact Elena has so many incredible winter designs, I couldn't pick just one:
(Elena Gnut, Russia)
Look at the teeny tiny cardinal!
Such beautiful colors in this deer little scene:
(Clairella Cakes, online tutorials & supplies)
Look how she added texture to the painting by piping on some of the branches and snowdrifts. There are even 3D snowflakes and tiny silver pearls!
I had to stare a while before I realized this Peter Rabbit cake is NOT floating:
(Vanilla & Me, Bulgaria)
And here's another hand-painted illusion:
(IC Sugar, Australia)
Incredible.
Of course we have to have some frolicking polar bears and penguins in here:
(Fabricake, UK)
That pool at the bottom is amazing, really looks like an icy lake!
This snow-dusted Fairy Stump is truly magical:
(Natalya Bondarenko, Russia)
Plus I want to eat those cherries. Nomz.
And finally, a shining, shimmering wedding cake:
(Sweet Cakes By Rebecca - website defunct, this cake featured here)
OoooOOOoooh.
I hope these warmed your hearts and made you smile, Sweets fans! Stay warm/cool out there.
