The Dog Days of "Bummer"

Today is National Dog Day! Quick! Make a cake effigy of your favorite pooch and slit its throat!

See, NOW it's a party.

(Also, I just realized "your favorite pooch" could have gone a very different direction. So you're welcome.)

As an unabashed cat person (CATS RULE, DOGS SNIFF YOUR CROTCH), I must admit to the occasional evil snicker over stuff like this:

::snicker::

Perhaps even a bit of a chortle:

Ahehheheheehe

Or the teensiest, tiniest, guffaw:

MWAHAHHAAAAAHAAAA!

And since I showed you that cat autopsy cake that one time, this seems only fair:

I'm guessing the customer specified NO NUTS.

[....]

Ahem.

So, in conclusion:

Happy Dog Day, e'erbody!

Thanks to Andrea W., Meredith H., Annabel J., April A., Emily Z., & Krysmon for the doggone treasures.

In these days of social distancing I know a bunch of people who need this t-shirt:

Disney Princess Cakes For Grown-Ups

You're never too old to love Disney Princesses, but sometimes you reach a point where you want a little less ruffles and bows, and something a bit more elegant.

(Cakeria Carioca, closed)

Like this!

That glittering pumpkin on top. Yessss.

And where are my Merida fans?

(Floren Bastante, Spain)

C'mon. How badass is this?

The carved texture on top is incredible, plus dig those asymmetrical arrows.

Here's a more realistic interpretation of Jasmine:

(Le Delizie di Kicca, Italy)

Oooh, shiiiiny. Love that gold leaf against the velvety plum color.

This Ariel cake is whisper soft and oh-so-elegant:

 (Karine Jingozian, California)

So many great details, and teeny bubbly pearls!

For the fan who likes Elsa, cosmetics, & warm hugs:

(Teddy Baker, Slovakia)

Olaf's expression cracks me up, but this is seriously one of the best Elsa cakes I've seen. I want that crown!

And from Frozen to Snow:

(Abbyliciousz The Cake Boutique, The Netherlands)

Snow White, that is. I like how the baker only used a tiny pop of yellow gold, and offset the red and blue with that tree bark chocolate. So good.

Another classic princess:

(Spring Bloom Cakes, Canada)

Oh wow, Belle's skirt looks like a porcelain! And the way the rose is floating off to the side? Gorgeous.

Here's another non-Disney take on a princess, where they made Mushu look WAY cooler:

(Sarah Hariz, France)

Mulan!

Awesome hand-painted art, and the 3D elements of the cherry blossoms and sugar flames really bring this to life.

Loving how clean and minimalist this Rapunzel design is:

(My Cake Natalia Casaballe, Argentina)

Once again the blending of 2D into 3D with that hair wrap gives me all the heart eyes.

And finally, let's end with a Tangled wedding cake, because I know you're gonna love this:

(Le Petit Sweet, Florida) 

It looks like an impressionist's painting!  ::dreamy sigh::  So sweet.

 I hope this week treats you like royalty, my friends, or at least surprises you with a little magic.

Happy Sunday!

P.S. Look at this pretty princess shirt! I love the Art Nouveau look on it:

Women's Disney Princess Tee

It comes in 8 other colors, too, in case you don't like purple.
