Sunday Sweets: Simply Awwww-full
October 18, 2009 If you've read this blog for any length of time then you know that my interests can be, well, a little geeky.
Ok, fine. A LOT geeky.
However, just because I enjoy quoting Monty Python and polishing my Star Trek collectibles doesn't mean I don't have my girly side. Fact is, I'm a total sucker for the cute. So today, allow me to present a lineup of cakes so stinkin' adorable that I've melted right here in my chair, and am now typing this with puddle fingers.
(Submitted by Isabella, baker unknown)What, or who, is it? No idea. But with its lethal adorableness, it must be Japanese.
(Submitted by Andrew H., & made by Bleeding Heart Bakery)These little guys are meringue candies, and I want the whole set, on my desk, NOW:
(Found on CaptainXO's Flickr, & made by Ginza's Cozy Corner Bakery [in Japan, of course])Especially the little dog with the green ears. So. Cute.
I've been in love with this next cake since the moment I stumbled across it nearly 2 years ago:
(Made by Flickr user HyperCraftive)Here's a cutie-patootie turtle:
(Made by Jessica of its-a-piece-of-cake.)
(Submitted by Elarael B. & made by Kylie of Le Cupcake.)Have a cake to nominate for Sunday Sweets? Then send it to me at Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.

That first cake is totally a slime from Maple Story! I think that's what they're called anyway. So cute. :3
Hello Kitty RULES in China! She is absolutely everywhere! I'm always impressed to see incredibly patient men carrying their wives/girlfriends bags that are plastered with her image.
I do like the UBO . . . unidentified baked object . . . it is indeed, quite adorable!
The first picture is a slime monster from the free-to-play Korean MMORPG Maplestory. Incredibly cute game, incredibly cute cake!
awwwwww!!!!!!! those are adorable. the lot of 'em!
i'm a sucker (also) for cutesy and anything pastel, girlie girl that i am.
am lovin' that owl!
That first little guy might be a pokemon. Love the owl cake, too. Colors and design are totally mid-century modern. There's a Sunday Sweets category I'd LOVE to see!
The first one is from maplestory, a rpg. It was developed by the South Korean company Wizet. It is adorable isnt it? ^^
LOVE the owl aswell.
That first cake is of a Slime monster from the online game Maple Story, which is actually Korean. Either way, it is indeed adorable.
That is one *rocking* owl. Lovely colors and shapes.
Ahhhh cute! (only dogs can hear that :)) Love the kitty and the mournful tortoise!
The first creature is a Green Mushroom Monster from the game MapleStory. Adorable!
The first cake is a mascot for an online game called MapleStory, an anime-esque type MMORPG.
That owl is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
that turtle is just adorable!! :)
That Hello Kitty cake doesn't hold a candle *snicker* to the Hello Kitty cake I made for my daughter's birthday. Which was big and flat and a little sunk in the middle with coconut covering all the flaws.
One more voice amongst the masses! The first cake is a Slime, a monster in a Korean MMORPG called Maple Story. The whole game is that cute!
Here's more info on the slime:

Ahh! I love the Maple Story Cake! That game was a big chunk of my high school.
That turtle is pretty fricken cute too!
Lol, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one geek enough to recognize the MS slime. >.<
I know this probably falls into the 'we didn't need to know' category, but you (rhetorically) asked about the mass cuteness in Japan. WELL! It's a cultural phenomenon, and here's the wiki link to read about this historical takeover by all extreme adorability/KAWAII!!!

LOVE the cakes! ^.^
Did you mean those cute animals were marzipan, and not meringue? Either way, sweet! Pun intended.
the owl! LOVE!
I find the cupcake terrifying.
The animals! The little meringue ones! I WANT 'EM!
...so cute...
Cute cute cute! I love all these cakes especially that little turtle. The Hello Kitty cake, along with being cute is absolutely gorgeous. Look at the flowers-such lovely craftsmanship.
Anyway, I think Maple Story is becoming thew new Epcot...
Very NICE!!

LOVE the cupcake!
Where is 'it's-a-piece-of-cake' located? I want to order that turtle cake for my birthday. Love, love, love turtles! So adorable!!
I really, really LOVE the owl cake. I want it. Now.
Oh I want that turtle. So cute.
the first cake is a green slime from an MMORPG called MapleStory... I am, in fact, playing it right now ^_^
I think the cupcake (#2) was kinda scary. Maybe it's the face. It looks like it has bags under the eyes and scary little mouth. *shiver*
The first cake looks kind of like a Pokemon. Regardless of what it is, it is uber adorable and my fave in those. But only by this much *holds fingers miniscule amount apart* because every other entry was so freakin' adorable as well :) Great post and keep up the wreckiness, the geekiness, and the adorableness (3 of my absolute fave things in the world!! :p)
For obvious reasons I love the turtle cake with the ladybug detail.
The cute little animals are Strawberry Shortcake's pets.
Oh wow, you featured the MapleStory cake I sent in *whee* :)
Anyway, as many people have already mentioned, it's a Slime from MapleStory, which is a MMORPG from Korea.

You can see the slime guy in the pic on the left as well :)
Ghe. Funny. Boyfriend was looking at the sunday sweets, pointed out a cake he thought I'd think was cute. 'Hey, I send that in a while ago! Oh wait, cool, it says my name!' *grin*
Oh my gosh! The owl!!!!! I have melted into a puddle beneath my office chair!
Now THAT is the way to do a proper CCC! And it doesn't even need a patooie!
And (in my very best southern accent) that owl is just precious.
wv: imatoari - no definition. But seriously, how long does it need to be?!
omg. i want to pick up that turtle and hug him and kiss him and call him george and cheer up his little top-hatted face. that may just be a normal "hiya, i'm a turtle doo-dee-doo-dee-doo" face, but i wanna throw him a party and give him presents and a squishy looking human cake.
I love the the owl cake. WHO wouldn't love it. (he he)
Yay! Geek people among cake lovers! You guys totally rock!
But if the MS slime is Korean then Japan doesn't have the complete monopoly on cuteness now does it. Although Japan outsources some anime stuff to Korea . . .
And a collective wave of "Awww!" just washed across the Cake Wrecks world in a cute induced euphoria.
What an ugly Hello Kitty... how can you find that cute? It's so messed up.
THey are all lovely, and wonderously executed. I'm in awe of the skill and artistry. Let me be the first to say I'm unfamiliar with all these things--Maple story, Hello kitty, and so on. Hello Kitty I have SEEN before, but don't know any of the back story that goes with it/her.
Perhaps I'm still being influenced by the "holiday" cakes from a few days ago, But Ms. Kitty appears to have a rather large pair of testicles looming beneath her skirt. Maybe this is how she is always portrayed. Don't have a clue.... I still like her, and the cake very much. Lily
I don't know if I could dare to eat the cute - seems like I'd be ruining art. Except Hello Kitty. I could eat that cake.
And I agree with those that think the cupcake is scary - I will probably have nightmares.
That horrible cupcake creature looks like something from a nightmare I've had. *shudders*
But OMG . . . that owl . . . so cute! I want it!
Hello Kitty is a big deal here in HI, but there are other characters. My fav is Kuromi. You should check her out. She's Punk.
I LOVE the turtle! Awww....
That cupcake is absolutely frightening!
But I swoon over any animal in a hat and that turtle is a cutie! :-)
I have to say I dont really like the Hello Kitty cake. Her face is all wrong. Her nose should be lower, her eyes wider apart, and whiskers shouldn't have been iced on but been added to her face sides. it just makes her face look unnatural.
As the hello kitty fan I am, it just aint her.
and glad that I am not the only to realize it was from maple story, not that i play it anymore...
Slime!
I think Maplestory(?) got that design from Dragon Warrior- which is Japanese, and awesome (and from the 80's)...
