Sunday Sweets: Light & Airy Wedding Cakes

I've been stockpiling wedding pretties in my "to-post" folder, guys, and today is finally the day.

BEHOLD!

(By Cake Heart)

Would you call this metallic peach, or bright copper? I'm thinking peach.
Whichever, I love how light it is, and that bottom trim texture really intrigues me.

Speaking of texture:

Or how about these ombré spirals?

(By Sift by Kara)

So much to love here!

Do you prefer Art Nouveau?

(By Kaytee Trudeau-Leet)

...or Art Deco?

(By Faye Cahill Cake Design)

I CAN'T CHOOSE.

Ooh, here's something different: ever seen ribbon embroidery?

(By Bobbette and Belle)

Ribbon embroidery looks exactly like this, only you usually can't eat it. WOWIE. (How?!)

Another mind bender? This perfectly pieced mosaic:

(By Mark Joseph Cakes)

This reminds me of the Moroccan wall fountain in Epcot. Just gorgeous.

A wonder in white:

(By Hey There, Cupcake)

::dreamy sigh::

This next one makes me think of poofy Marie Antoinette gowns and fine china teacups:

(By Zoe Clark Cakes)

Doesn't that blue look like the softest suede? And look at the pearly sheen on the bottom tier! Plus there's the lace trim, the perfect bow, the teensy flowers...!!

At the opposite end of the style spectrum, I've got this bold, modern number:

(By Have Some Cake)

Those vivid watercolors are singing my song. And I spy a Hidden Mickey in the blue ruffles - think that was intentional? :D

Let's wrap things up with a gloriously subtle beach theme:

(By The Vagabond Baker)

I say "subtle" because it took me a while to spot all the elements! Starting from the bottom, there's sugar netting, a driftwood base, a sea urchin shell, a nautical rope heart, seashell "petals" (topped with pearls!), a fish scale pattern, and a coral topper!

I am in awe.

Hope you enjoyed the pretties! Happy Sunday!

The Mickey Mouse Mind Trick

I'm about to make you forget what Mickey Mouse looks like.

Impossible, you say?

Then WATCH THIS:

It's slipping away, isn't it?

Is this right? Can you tell?

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

And finally, here's one from a vintage cake decorating book that proves they just don't make 'em like they used to:

Thank goodness.

Happy birthday, Mickey!

Thanks to Marion G., Marshelle G., Saturn S., Nicole A., Heidi L., Anony M., & Emma P. for reminding us Mickey used to eat childrens' souls. Ah, the good ol' days.

And now that I have Disney on the brain:
