Wait, it's Bad Poetry Day again? Don't we have like 6 of these every year?

Not that I'm complaining: I will happily torture you with my Vogon Entry Level verse any time, ya hoopy froods.

A-hem hem hem.

A-phlegm phlegm phlegm.

Something exploded on this cake

Of this I know not what to make: 

Was it fruit, was it dough?

Wouldn't YOU like to know

For $40 I'll make you a plate

 You'll have your LOOKS

Your pretty face!

And don't forget the importance of...

BODY LANGUAGE

Thanks to Caki Z., Channing F., Chelsea C., Carolyn, & Lauren W. for the poetry in motionless shock.

Sunday Sweets Mixes It Up

There's a growing trend to make every tier on multi-tiered cakes completely different from the others, and while I'm usually a matchy-matchy kinda girl, I gotta say, some of these are downright magical:

(Sweet Symphony Desserts, India)

OooOOooh. Those iridescent leaves made my jaw drop. 

 And here come some of my favorite colors:

(Tortilnico, Bulgaria)

This one feels like an entire art exhibit all by itself:

(Ami, Uganda)

I've always loved bold stripes and florals together:

(Hey There Cupcakes, San Diego)

Classic.

Here's a more modern twist on the shape:

(Kara's Couture Cakes, online tutorials)

Those teals planks are such a great contrast with the gold.

Pattern clashing looks amazing with limited colors:

(Magical Edible Art, Canada)

Like these!

(Sugar Cakes, Canada)

And I'm even more impressed when bakers make it work with a whole range of unusual combos:

(Charm City Cakes, Maryland)

There's a lot going on here to love. That ruffle? The micro beads? Amazing.

Ohhh, look at this marbling:

(Rebekah Naomi Cake Design, Virginia)

Such great colors!

I debated whether or not this next one was too weird, but I both love it and kinda want to hug it?

(Sugarpatch Cakes, UK)

Look at those awesome textures! I think the middle tier is actually covered with roses, but they look like fluffy pom-poms from here.

And finally, a modern day-glo beauty that looks like a piece of digital art come to life:

(Charm City Cakes West, Los Angeles)

That red palm frond layered over a blue flower is my favorite. So good.

I hope these made you smile, gang, and that your Sunday is extra Sweet.
