Sunday Sweets For Lace Week

Hey, it's International Lace Week! Think we can find any Sweets with edible lace on them?

(Sugar Delites, online cake supply shop)

You bet your dainty lace doilies we can! Isn't this green dreamy?

And look how perfect this black and white number is:

(A Cake Occasion, UK)

Unreal!

A lot of modern lace designs are made with molds, but check out this handpiped number with brush embroidery:

(Playful Cupcaketions, Iowa)

I like the soft and delicate look. So sweet.

Or how about a bold gold?

(Nora Brown Cakes, UK)

Oooh, shiny. I like that even the flowers are made of lace!

There's a lot to love on this wedding cake, but the lace-wrapped tier is the standout for me:

(Natasha Rice Cakes, California)

Howwww is it so perfect?

This one reminds me of a bridal veil:

(Happy Day Cake, Azerbaijan)

 Then this one wrapped the lace over an ombre color fade, very cool!

(Frufi Dorti, Czech Republic)

More lacy flowers and intricate detailing:

And now some EXTREME DRAMA:

(Signature Cake By Shweta, India)

OoooOOOoooh.

Completely crushing on this lace shawl design:

(Cofetaria Dana, Romania)

Those trailing flowers at the bottom are everything - and the tiny white bows!

And finally, one more jaw-dropper dripping in ALL the lacy accents:

(C+M Cake Designers, Puerto Rico)

WOW. No words. Just WOW.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Here's hoping your day is extra Sweet.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

At This Point My Houseplants Get Out More Than I Do

It's "Take Your Houseplant For A Walk Day," minions, and wow are the plants excited.

Just look how happy this flower is to see you.

[insert "stamen-a" joke here]

Of course taking your ficus for walkies is nothing compared to some of the strange occasions bakers celebrate. You know, like "Swirling Vortex Of Outdated Technology" Day.

Remember when we'd answer our cellphones by yelling, "TALK! TALK!"?

That was fun.

Or there's "Add A Space After 'THE' To Turn One Word Into Two" Day:

I hear the spian's are real characters.

And let's not forget "Fuzzy Phallic Couch Day!" 

Or wait, was it "Tanks For The Memories" Day? I always get those two confused.

::head tilt::

Huh.

Well, whichever this is, I'm sure it'll go out with a bang.

Thanks to Keith I., Beth, Suzy M., & Jerry L., who tells me that last cake isn't a couch OR a tank; it's a dog. Um... we can see that, Jerry, but what's it *supposed* to be?

;)

If you want to stick with just celebrating your houseplants today, then how about keeping one in your very own tiny house hippo?

Hippo Succulent Planter Pot

Because this is ADORABLE.
