Sunday Sweets: Rockin' Rockabilly

Pin some victory rolls in your hair and break out the red lipstick, ladies, 'cuz today we're going ROCKABILLY.

(By Rock Cakes)

AW YEAH.

Rockabilly is a style from the 1950s that keeps coming back, hipper than ever. There's a big rockabilly community in California, of course, but sometimes I spot those stylish lovelies even down here in Orlando. (Of course, usually they're at Disney... visiting from California.)

Rockabilly has a classic retro vibe mixed with punk rock edge that - who knew? - looks pretty dang Sweet on cake:

There are lots of elements to rockabilly: you've got a little classic 50s jukeboxes and milkshakes thang going:

And a healthy smattering of classic tattoo art and cute lady pin-ups:

Cherries, polka dots, and checkerboard are popular:

And there's also a big nautical influence, which I'm really diggin':

A perfect homage to Rosie the Riveter!

It's probably no surprise that Rockabilly wedding cakes are on the rise:

But if you really want your wedding to be rock-and-roll, then this is my fav:

Check out that shading! SO GOOD. It's like a painting coming to life... during a shreddy guitar solo. :D

Happy Sunday, everyone!
