Sunday Sweets: Word To Your Mother
It's Mother's Day, Sweets fans, and even if we can't be with our moms today, we can still celebrate with gorgeous cakes!
(Ester Cakes, Online Tutorials & Supplies)
Look at these cheery roses - I'd never have thought to pair them with black and gold stripes like this, but it's fantastic.
And check out this optical illusion:
(Cake Buro, Moscow)
It looks like this little guy just toddled out the doorway, right? Love the detail on the tiny toys, and all the floating hearts.
How about a classic "Mom" tattoo cake?
(Aksiniia Kraeva Pozzi, online tutorial here)
Extra points for that cartoony cell-shading on the drips and roses.
I didn't just do a doube-take on this next one, I did a quadruple-take:
(Sugar Creations by Noel, Puerto Rico)
The jar is cake, yes! WOWIE.
This one feels a graphic novel come to life in brilliant technicolor:
(Skazka Cakes, New Jersey)
SUCH a great use of printed edible images. The layering on top with the flowers looks so cool, and I'm loving all these colors together.
We call John's mother "Mum," so I was happy to find this one:
(All Things Cupcakes, UK)
I love the use of cupcakes for roses, and the soft watercolor effect in the design - it's so delicate!
Aw, here's a "Mom" sundae for Mom's Sunday!
(Sweet Delights by Adria Perdomo, Miami)
Now that is a cup cake. :D
Painting with buttercream is one of my favorite techniques:
(Marée Cake, Korea)
Riddle me this: are the flowers on top real, or sugar?
(I'm pretty sure they're sugar, and that's blowing my mind.)
More Sweet colors together:
(Smash Cakes Holland, the Netherlands)
I like how the stripes blend the pink into the blue and back again.
And finally, look at the shimmer on this one:
(Couture Cakes By Olga, Sri Lanka)
Metallic colors can be tricky to nail on a cake - and this is one of the best examples I've ever seen. So sweet!
However you're spending your day today, I hope you get a few moments to rest, relax, and share some smiles with your loved ones. Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there, and may the rest of you have a Sunday that is extra EXTRA Sweet.

P.S. I don't know who needs to see this, but apparently you can get an entire pizza made of socks:
You can also get one with assorted toppings?? This is just the kind of weird I needed today, haha.
