Sunday Sweets BRINGS CAKE To The Library!

Who's ready to sink your teeth into a good book or two?

(By Janette MacPherson Cake Craft)

Or seven or eight?

Assuming you can convince anyone these are edible, of course.

(By Mel's Amazing Cakes)

Have you seen the new 3D storybook trend? Because it is SO COOL:

(By Laura Jane Cake Design)

Talk about a tall tale!

And "wood" you believe this retirement cake?

(By Merritt's Bakery)

Tsk. SO SHELF-ISH.

:D

(I've decided we need more librarian-themed cakes, y'all, because librarians rock and that cake is awesome.)

Here's another storybook cake, this time more like a pop-up:

(By Bake-A-Boo)

Loooove those illustrations. Seriously. Unlike the cake, I'm melting.

Ooh, here's an idea for my fellow bibliophiles:

(By Cake Studio)

A book-themed wedding cake!

(Even the teacup and candle are edible! YOWZA.)

This next one won gold in a Tolkien-themed tribute contest, and it's easy to see why:

(By Cupcakes & Dreams Portugal)

What sorcery is this??

Awe. I AM IN AWE.

Do you think instead of cutting the cake they just handed out books for everyone to eat? Because that would make me indescribably happy.

Speaking of sorcery and happiness, we can't celebrate books and the magical places that let us read them for free without a little Potter magic, now can we?

Sha-pow.

And one more, which isn't technically a book because it's a journal, but I think you'll forgive me:

(By CakesDecor member Francesca Liotta)

Because oooooh. [grabby hands]

Slytherins never follow the rules anyway, right?

And finally, let's end with the sweetest lil' library cake you ever will see:

(By New Delhi Cake Company)

D'awwww.

Now, who wants to go to the library? Remember to thank a librarian while you're there!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope it's Sweet!

P.S. Hey fellow book lovers, I just found what may be the prettiest bookmark EVER, check this out:

Metal Feather Charm Bookmark

It's like jewelry for your book! You can choose from gold or silver - or get both: one for you, one for a friend. Or both for you. I won't judge. :D

Princess: Impossible

In honor of National Princess Week, I've arranged to have some of the world's most famous royalty come and visit! Woot woot!

But then they all canceled, so we got these instead:

YIKES.

I mean, uh, won't you say hello, ladies?

"I DON'T LIKE YOU."

[silent glare]

"Life is awful, and then you die.
"....Happy birthday."

Ohhhh kaaay...

Oh, but look! I think Ariel made it, after all!
To think, she swam all this way just to wish you aAAAAAUUUGHH!!

[climbing off floor]
[adjusting hair]

Well, I guess we should just try to make the best of things.

Play us off, Hell's Belles!!

[heavy metal intro plays]

"Tale of cakey crime!

[JUDJUDJUDJUD]

"Cruel as it can be!"

"Curse these princess trends!

[YOWWWW!]

"When will it all end?!"

[music slows]

"Someoooone call
aaa
priiieeeeest!"

Thanks to Colleen W., Kerry Z., Anja H., Amanda S., Cassie S., Jennifer F., Lesley W., & Crista C. for the fairy tale rending.

I'm in a Facebook group that celebrates "Tiara Tuesdays," so I tend to look at a lot of sparkly crowns and tiaras - and this is one of my favorites:

Jeweled Baroque Crown

Because we all have to be THIS extra to make up for all that time in lockdown, am I right?
