Sunday Sweets For Summer Weddings

Now that Summer is officially here, let's look at some cool summer wedding cakes, and imagine all of these with a heaping scoop of ice cream on the side. :D

Starting with the classiest dragonflies this side of the 1920s:

I want to wear this whole cake in my hair. Yes, it would be awkward. BUT WORTH IT.

(By Erin Bakes)

Daisies! John's gonna be so happy.

Love this sweet chalkboard style:

(By My Sweet Art)

And this gold leaf and pale peach reminds me of a warm summer sunset:

(By Sweet Bakes)

I feel like summer needs some bold, vivid colors, though. You know, the kind that smack you in the eyeballs with pure awesome? Like this:

(By Julia Marie Cakes)

Though I suppose the happiest summer shade has got to be yellow. Am I right?

(By Rose Gateaux)

And how perfect are those gray succulents with it? Mmmm.

I will forever drool over Emerald City green:

(By Bellaria Cakes Design)

::Drooooool::

And then my favorite color in the world comes along:

(By Eva Salazar)

ORANGEY GOODNESS!

And I don't know how they did that shimmery texture in the middle, but YES.

Now some pinks and oranges and greens?

(By Cakelava)

And all that textured white? Ahhhh. Yep. I'll take that, too, please.

Any Monet fans out there?

(By Sweet Disposition Cakes)

I like how velvety those lily pads looks. I want to pet them.

And last but never least, my favorite today goes... to the flamingos:

(By Good Gosh Ganache, featured here)

SQUEE! Hand-painted perfection. This has undone the damage of a hundred tacky lawn flamingos, all in one fell swoop.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Stay cool out there!

When July Is Forthcoming

It's America's birthday next week, e'erbody!

Don't you hate it when you get to the party and/or bakery and everyone's started drinking without you?

Of course, most folks know it simply as:

4th July of.

Or July 4th of.

Your choice.

Yes, friends, it’s a day to salute all nations, but mostly America. Preferably with a glorious three-hour finale, condensed into a minute and a half. (OBSCURE MUPPET JOKE HEYOOOO)

"You are all WEIRDOS."

It’s a day of fireworks, fun, and patriotic grilled meat... um... cakes. Obviously.

"You know what this 4th of July sh*t grill needs? A FUZZY PURPLE BORDER HEYOOOO!"
- a drunk baker, probably

(John: "You already used the 'heyooo' thing, take that out."
Me: IT'S MY BLOG HEYOOOOO
John: "...."
Me: "Pass me my drink, farm boy. HEYOOOOO."
John: "No. You've had enough tea."
Me: "NOOOOOOOO HEYOOOOO"
John: "I've quit better jobs than this.")

So whatever you're up to for the fourth, folks, just remember:
It’s also the day we celebrate the great Will Smith movie.

Just as soon as we remember how to spell it.

Thanks to Matthew C., Julie A., Samantha W., Katie S., & Ashleigh G. for reminding me what movie to watch this weekend. HEYOOOOO.
