Sunday Sweets Celebrates Fall, Basically

Happy Fall, y'all!

Yep, once it hits October I don't care HOW hot it is outside, it's time for autumn leaves on everything:

...and big chunky sweaters:

At least on our pumpkins. :D
Seriously, though, can you believe that's CAKE? I am agog. AGOG I SAY.

By now you've probably picked up that orange is my favorite color, so Fall is when I get to show you how well orange pairs with soft blues:

... and dramatic burgandies:

Eeee, so fun!

Fall is also when everyone gets a little basic, but in the best possible way. I actually find it comforting that half the planet is hanging cute fall garlands on their mantels and reveling in a Pumpkin Spice Latte:

And speaking of all those Fall garlands:

I want this one.


In the cake world it doesn't get more basic than a unicorn head cake, BUT, if you pumpkin-ize it...

BOOM, BABY.

Love it with the sunflowers!

Oh hey, I haven't shown you my favorite orange color combo yet:

Orange and teal is always my favorite - but throw in some bright pink and I'm EXTRA happy.

Also where do you stand on candy corn? Love 'em or curse 'em? A friend told me she loves the Brach's mix of candy corn and chocolate peanuts, and I have to admit, I am intrigued.

And finally, let's go out with either a 2024 mood OR, if you're a typical introvert hermit like me, just another Friday night mood:

PREACH.

I hope these made your heart happy, my friend, and reminded you to get out those decorations you love, bake something fun, or just go get yourself a PSL. Hey, you've earned it. ::hugs::

P.S. Is it too early for the Sanderson Sisters? Asking for MANY friends:

There's also an "I smell children" version at the link, haha.

8 Hilarious Wrecks Bakers Want Us To Believe Are Football Helmets

I'll be the first to admit that a football helmet is not the easiest thing to draw:

It's all round and confusing and stuff.

 

BUT STILL.

But still.

Really, bakers?

REALLY??

 

If you had no context, tell me you wouldn't think this was a cheese grater:

And this was a happy whale:

Here's a couch in front of a window:

And a, uh...

...demonic hacky sack?

 

Eesh, how sad is it when this is the best one?

 

If only bakers had a helmet shaped PAN, you know? Something that locks them into the right shape, so they absolutely, positively, could NOT mess it...

Thanks to Bruce B., Manda, Matt M., Anony M., Brielle R., Kristin N., Heather F., Rachel K., & Anna E. for finding a reason I might actually need a helmet. (Or possibly a padded desk.)
