This Post Is Full Of Lies About Elephants.

Today we're going to address the elephant in the room.

And by "elephant" I mean all elephants. And by "address" I mean "look at cakes of." And by "in the room" I mean "NOT in this room."

Ahem hem hem.

Ahhh, elephants.

So ele-gant. So phant-astic.
(Don't mind the nose; he's just chilly.)

From the moment they are a mere twinkle in their daddy elephant's...

elephants are strong swimmers!

Baby elephants make the cutest basketballs:

Well, at least at first.

Heheh. Whoops.

Later in life, elephants spend their days growing eyebrows and impersonating Jerry Seinfeld.

Until the sweet release of death:

And their haunting of the living:

Oh! Sorry, I don't have any moral here. I just wanted that face seared into someone else's brain, too.

P.S. If you love elephants - well first, then I apologize for everything in this post, ha - but second, I found you an adorable pillow to make up for it:

Linen Pillow Cover: Elephant In Glasses
It's only $13, and makes me wish I had more couches to put cute pillows on.

Sunday Sweets Isn't Ready For Fall, Y'all

I know technically it’s Fall today, but I'm not ready for autumn colors yet! So here's one last hurrah of bright flowery goodness before we surrender to our Pumpkin Spice overlords.

One of the most beautiful wreath cakes I've ever seen - and that's all buttercream! Can you believe it?

These pinks and greens are perfectly Spring-y:

Need to battle the impending Winter blues? Then how about a giant bouquet of pretty-in-pink tulips?

Digging those papery ruffles on the bottom tiers, too!

I may not be ready for Fall, but orange is still always my favorite:

And this combination of hand painted stems with 3D flowers is perfect. PERFECT, I say!

Ruffles and orchids and gold, oh my!

I just want to hug that bottom tier. Is that wrong?

Oooh, now here's an amazing design:

(By It's A Cake Thing)

I can't decide which I like more: that dramatic flower topper or the fun beaded ombré underneath!

(That billowing on the bottom isn't too shabby, either.)

Another dramatic topper, this time with a tropical hibiscus:

And that sweet swath of lace! Ah!

You'll be hard pressed to look at this next one and NOT smile:

It's those cheerful greens, right? And the bitty little bird?

And finally, a whole wagon load of summery, spring-y cheer:

Just about Sweet enough to last us 'til Spring!

Happy Sunday, everyone!
