But What If The Customers Are Nuts?

Bakers, I want you to know that I know.

I KNOW.

Sometimes your customers are... weird.

I promise I'll keep this brief.

And hey, if someone with cash in hand asks you to draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist, then by golly, you draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist.

I hear he's a gas.

And if they want an anniversary cake of a fairy and a werewolf about to fight over a box garden, then of course you ask how many blood drips they want around the edges.

Because that's the job.

BUTT.

Can we all agree this was an order better left unfilled?

I mean, I'm not saying that's not a LOVELY toy train rammed up a Harley Davidson-tattooed butt. I'm not.

It's just maybe next time you could suggest something a little less cheeky. A little less wow-that-looks-like-a-wangy. A little less WHYGODWHY. You know?

That said, bakers, if you get an order like this?

Those customers aren't nuts, they're just Cake Wrecks fans. Who are totally cool. Though I'd be EXTRA nice if they have their cameras out. [evil grin]

Thanks to Alyce F., Ronni M., Tena C., Anony M., & Mark H., whose proposal cake from 2011 is making the rounds again online as an ACTUAL cake wreck - but we all know better. IT IS THE SWEETEST.

From all the rave reviews, apparently this banana bread & hazelnut candle smells AMAZING. But more importantly, if you give it as a gift you get to watch their faces as they read the label:

"Smell My Nuts" Mason Jar Candle

:D

Sunday Sweets Makes A Splash!

There's a Sweet new trend going around with mostly Russian cake artists, and I think you guys are gonna love it:

(Juso Cakes, Russia)

 Splash cakes!

At least that's what I call them. I'm sure there's a more technical term.

Some of these look like actual liquid splashes:

(Shevtsova Dasha, Russia)

While others are more abstract shapes:

(Annabel Bakery, online classes)

Some look like a billowing glass sail:

(Honeycomb Desserts, California)

Others look like fabric:

(Jasmine Rae Cakes, California)

Then this one looks like... electrified gold?

(Nadezda Axenova, Russia)

SO COOL.

Some splashes are clear sugar glass edged with gold:

(Olga Kulikova, Russia)

Which looks amazing with this soft pink.

Candy splashes make fun little fruit bowls, too:

(Marina Nedraga, Russia)

 You know, as a garnish for all the donuts. NOMZ.

Oooh, then if you coat everything in gold, and put it on a black marble cake, it turns into the most stunning museum exhibit:

(Olga Kulikova, Russia)

WOW. Am I right? So stunning!

This last one looks like a liquefied flower to me, right at the moment of impact:

(Sasha Cakes, Russia)

I can't decide if the butterflies look like they're setting it down or perching on top! Either way, WOW.

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope these made you smile, and that your day is extra Sweet.
