Sunday Sweets For Book Lovers Day

This Wednesday is Book Lovers Day, my friends, and I know *JUST* how to celebrate!

Assuming you can convince your guests these are actually edible, of course:

(By Cloud 9 Cakes)

Terry Pratchett fans, prepare to have your jaws drop:

(By DeviantArt member Barracude-Bruce's wife)

Or maybe you'll just make stunned sputtering noises, like I did. :) Look at all that detail! Disc World has truly never looked sweeter.

This stunning Les Mis cake has little barricades at the four corners:

(By Cup A Dee Cakes)

Show of hands: who else is humming the soundtrack now?

A fun library design:

(By Biscuiteers of London)

And another you'll never believe is cake, made for a Sylvia Plath fan:

(By Sweet Ruby Cakes)

Here's a classic:

That Shakespeare portrait is hand-painted, and I'm loving the aged leather finish.

Or how about a more modern favorite?

I admit it: I haven't read The Fault In Our Stars, because I'm allergic to sad. I know enough to appreciate the cigarettes and some of the sayings, though, and this is truly Sweet.

Can't have a book lover's post without a little Potter magic, of course:

I'm delighted that these titles are actually books within books. Very meta.

Another classic, done to perfection:

(By Celebrate With Cake)

I think I speak for us all when I say: thank goodness they went with a rose instead of a horse head. :D

And finally, of all the incredible Sweets today, this is the one I had the most trouble believing was actually cake:

Because wow. Such a brilliant touch with the butterflies, too; they add so much life and color!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Now, let's all go curl up with a good book.
