Santa, Baby, PUT THAT AWAY

Kristy L. sent in this screenshot of a local bakery's online ad, along with a caption I couldn't beat if I tried.

All she wrote was, "Sun's out, fun's out!"

Thank you, Kristy, for saving me from making a North Pole/South Pole joke - because you KNOW that was coming.

Now please enjoy this completely random and unrelated SNL sketch:

As well as this completely random and unrelated product that popped up on Amazon while I was searching for... well, never mind what I searching for:

Happy Christmas in July, y'all.

Sunday Sweets Makes A Splash!

There's a Sweet new trend going around with mostly Russian cake artists, and I think you guys are gonna love it:

(Juso Cakes, Russia)

 Splash cakes!

At least that's what I call them. I'm sure there's a more technical term.

Some of these look like actual liquid splashes:

(Shevtsova Dasha, Russia)

While others are more abstract shapes:

(Annabel Bakery, online classes)

Some look like a billowing glass sail:

Others look like fabric:

Then this one looks like... electrified gold?

SO COOL.

Some splashes are clear sugar glass edged with gold:

Which looks amazing with this soft pink.


Candy splashes make fun little fruit bowls, too:

(Marina Nedraga, Russia)

 You know, as a garnish for all the donuts. NOMZ.

Oooh, then if you coat everything in gold, and put it on a black marble cake, it turns into the most stunning museum exhibit:

(Olga Kulikova, Russia)

WOW. Am I right? So stunning!


This last one looks like a liquefied flower to me, right at the moment of impact:

(Sasha Cakes, Russia)

I can't decide if the butterflies look like they're setting it down or perching on top! Either way, WOW.

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope these made you smile, and that your day is extra Sweet.
