Sunday Sweets Falls For Fall
While I fully embrace early Christmas decorations, let's be real: it's still Fall, and I really, really, really love orange.
[By Cherry Blossom Cakes in England]
[whispering] It's so beautifuuuul.
Not to mention we don't get all the pretty leaves changing here in Florida - much less the cooler weather - so I've got to find ways to celebrate Fall everywhere I can.

Ohh, plus a Disney tie-in? BONUS.
There's so much to love in this one:
[By Dragons & Daffodils Cakes in Wales]
The top looks like a glowing candle! Plus the nearly-bare branch topper, the leafy frame, and the ombre orange bottom? YASSS.
Loving the peek-a-boo scene in this one:

And here comes the rare exception to my "no naked cakes" rule:
[I can't find the baker - help?]
This could almost bring me around on naked cakes, y'all. :D I like how the bottom looks like a giant whoopie pie - and all those leaves and acorns!
You don't see many grays or pale blues in Fall designs, which is a shame, because look how pretty:

The orange really pops with this! Plus those Wonderland checkerboards have me swooning.
Proof that we need more purples and bright yellows with our orange cakes:
[By May Bakes Cakes in the UK]
Right? Those flowers bring the whole thing together and make it sing.
Speaking of flowers, here come my favorite kind:

ORANGE POPPIES. Heaven, you guys. Heaven.
Detouring from orange for a moment to show you one of the prettiest non-traditional Fall cakes I've found:
[By Magical Edible Art in British Columbia]
Those textures! Wood and rope and a sweet tarnished padlock, plus a peek-a-boo bear? It's just all so good.
And finally, back to orange with this incredible gravity-defyer:
[By Have Some Cake in the UK]
Gorgeous.
I hope you all enjoyed, and are having a lovely Fall weekend! Happy Sunday!

P.S. Hey, you know what we generally *don't* want to fall? BEWBS. So here's a shout-out to my favorite wire-free bra, which I just bought four more of last week:
Warner's Easy Does It Seamless Wireless Bra
I love the under-arm smoothing panel - no dig or pinch! - and like most Warners, these are incredibly comfortable. I watch the listing and usually buy any color that goes under $20, and as of this writing both black and white are on sale for under $15 in my size - so definitely click over and check your size in all the colors. (I'm a 34DDD and wear a Large, if that helps.)
Oh, and be sure to check the image gallery for a better idea of how they look on larger tracts of land.
