Disney Princess Cakes For Grown-Ups

You're never too old to love Disney Princesses, but sometimes you reach a point where you want a little less ruffles and bows, and something a bit more elegant.

(Cakeria Carioca, closed)

Like this!

That glittering pumpkin on top. Yessss.

And where are my Merida fans?

(Floren Bastante, Spain)

C'mon. How badass is this?

The carved texture on top is incredible, plus dig those asymmetrical arrows.

Here's a more realistic interpretation of Jasmine:

(Le Delizie di Kicca, Italy)

Oooh, shiiiiny. Love that gold leaf against the velvety plum color.

This Ariel cake is whisper soft and oh-so-elegant:

 (Karine Jingozian, California)

So many great details, and teeny bubbly pearls!

For the fan who likes Elsa, cosmetics, & warm hugs:

(Teddy Baker, Slovakia)

Olaf's expression cracks me up, but this is seriously one of the best Elsa cakes I've seen. I want that crown!

And from Frozen to Snow:

(Abbyliciousz The Cake Boutique, The Netherlands)

Snow White, that is. I like how the baker only used a tiny pop of yellow gold, and offset the red and blue with that tree bark chocolate. So good.

Another classic princess:

(Spring Bloom Cakes, Canada)

Oh wow, Belle's skirt looks like a porcelain! And the way the rose is floating off to the side? Gorgeous.

Here's another non-Disney take on a princess, where they made Mushu look WAY cooler:

(Sarah Hariz, France)

Mulan!

Awesome hand-painted art, and the 3D elements of the cherry blossoms and sugar flames really bring this to life.

Loving how clean and minimalist this Rapunzel design is:

(My Cake Natalia Casaballe, Argentina)

Once again the blending of 2D into 3D with that hair wrap gives me all the heart eyes.

And finally, let's end with a Tangled wedding cake, because I know you're gonna love this:

(Le Petit Sweet, Florida) 

It looks like an impressionist's painting!  ::dreamy sigh::  So sweet.

 I hope this week treats you like royalty, my friends, or at least surprises you with a little magic.

Happy Sunday!

P.S. Look at this pretty princess shirt! I love the Art Nouveau look on it:

Women's Disney Princess Tee

It comes in 8 other colors, too, in case you don't like purple.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

This Cake's Got Balls. (No, Like Literally.)

Hey, do you know what Truck Nuts are?

If you do, congrats, you're from the South like me. YEEHAW AND HOWDY.

For the rest of you, Truck Nuts are dangling testicles for your truck. I wish I was making this up.

Anyway, the reason I mention Truck Nuts (besides seeing how many times I can type "Truck Nuts" in this post) is because NOW THEY MAKE THEM FOR CAKES, and the world will never be same.

(Hamilton high five heyooooo)

(Truck Nuts Truck Nuts Truck Nuts Truck Nuts)

(Ahem.)

Y'all ready for this?

Keep scrolling; this needs a proper build up.

And while I've got you here, I'm open to suggestions on how to post this to Facebook without getting banned.

Again.

(Lousy naked turkey cake.)

Almost there, now.

Still ready?

Here we go:

But not like that.

Ew.

OK, for real now:

Great Blushing Beefy Bow-Balls, Batman!

I'll give you a moment.

Honestly, there's something almost poetic about a sparkly pink cake with balls. It says, "Hey, I like sparkly pink cake and bows, AND I HAVE BALLS." Y'know? [nodding] Yeah. I like that.

Thanks to Rebecca H. for really busting our preconceived ideas about masculinity.
