Gilt-y Pleasures

If you're groaning over "Gilt-y Pleasures," then I have a subtitle for you:
"If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it."

:D

I know, I know, but I think you'll forgive me once you see today's cakes - because these things are seriously amazing.

This is absolutely stunning, you guys. Look at the hand painted panels! And all the trim and "fabric" draping! WOWIE.

Meanwhile, these soft pastels are singing my song:

So good.

And finally, another timeless beauty with juuuust the right amount of glitz:

...by which I mean ALL the glitz. Love that mosaic texture mixed with all the trim and moldings!

Hope you guys enjoyed today's Gilt-y Pleasures!

Happy Sunday!

P.S. I know a gilded rose sounds kinda cheesy, but LOOK:

Enchanted Blue Rose, 24kt Gilded

It comes with the glass dome and LED lighting that changes from warm white to colorful. You do have wrap the lights around it yourself (boo), but the customer photos have me drooling:
