Sunday Sweets: Jen's Happy Cakes

I am forever hunting down the best cakes for Sunday Sweets, but a lot of my favorites just don't fit any particular theme; they just plain make me happy. So today, no theme; just Happy Jen Cakes!

Love the jewelry-like border, the glitzy gold leaf, and the subtle ombré fade in the middle tier. But mostly? I love that teal.

And over on the other side of the color wheel:

Orangey goodness! I think the hexagons are tinted sugar glass, which is perfect with the clear lucite base.

Is it a coincidence that the first two cakes today happen to be my two favorite colors? NO IT IS NOT.

But I promise to branch out from more than just teal and orange. At least a little.

This is one of those rare cakes that I could frame and stare at all day long. That shading in the stripes and flowers gives it this gorgeous sense of depth - so, so good.

This dreamy pastel number is is downright heavenly with its floating flowers:

And that watercolor fade? Awesome sauce.

Not sure which I like more on this one: the mosaics or that patchwork bow:

Ah, but I'm also a sucker for drama, so...

BAM.

Love how the black makes those floral swags pop - and who doesn't love teensy polka dots?

This famous landmarks cake has a fun graphic arts feel:

Check out the little heart carved in the Eiffel Tower!

Sometimes I find little one-tier cakes especially delightful:

Robin's egg blue and rich red is another of my favorite color combos - plus look at all that delicate hand-piping! Perfection!

Here's another one-tier cutie, guaranteed to make you grin:

D'awww, puppy love at first sight!

And finally, let's wrap up this shiny happy cakes post with one last burst of color and a perfect yellow bow:

Mister Mister's "Broken Wings" Gets Wrecked

Baby, don't understand

Why we can't just bake cakes
In butterfly pans

This time
might be the last
I fear

Unless I
make it all too clear
You need to knoooooow:

OooOOOooooh

Take! These broken wings!

And learn to try again

Or learn to bake for free!

When you hear,
"What IS that thing?"

The look of shock should tear you up
it's not a win!

So take!

These broken wiiiiings!

*thud*

Thanks to Via S., Michelle, Sarah L., Jon, Naomi B., Julie D., Christine, Kaylee & Sarah, Lori C., Kelly R., & Katie S. for proving that's one MORE thing pre-schoolers can draw better than bakers.
