Love me some Shrek, though maybe not enough for my own wedding cake. Still, if you're an ogre getting married, I don't know where else you'd turn...
Those are adorable, though I can't quite decide what I think of the elephant trunk one. It took me a minute to figure out what it was, and it still looks kind of disturbing.
I love that elephant cake, especially. But without my morning coffee, I missed the first birthday candle, thinking instead that it was for a baby shower. What kind of message would THAT send: You're big as an elephant, so we just assumed...?!
Hope you like elephants, Ella. Also, hope your parents aren't so obsessed with them that they named you this for a reason. ;)
WOW... I've decided I'm going to have a child for the sole reason of having the elephant-in-a-box cake on their birthday! TOO CUTE!!!
I absolutely LOVE the little flower on the dinosaur cupcake. SQUEE!!! At the rainbow cake, my mouth literally dropped open. You have made my boring, cold day sunshiney! Thanks!
Those are all so cute. I love seeing the sunday Sweets.
I dunno. I find the elephant trunk cake, although beautifully made, kinda creepy.
I'd take the 'cupcake on a cake' cake any day. :)
All are terrific. But why is Ronald McDonald on the Shrek cake?
Is the baby Shrek cake fondant-free? It looks deliciously so!
Oh my. . . They are all so cute. I love that first one. It is simple but just too cute.
Gorgeous! I love the elephant trunk sneaking out of cake #2. Noticed, however, that the figures on the Shrek cake are suspiciously similar to some plastic Shrek toys my son has--we held them up to the screen and confirmed they are the same. That cake lost a little bit of luster. The others are amazing, though, and I still can't comprehend the patience it takes to make that much gorgeous detail.
vw: persess I don't persess the ability to make a Sunday Sweet!
Best Sweets ever!

ah! love them all! I'm a sucker for the cute.
I love the Sunday Sweets! Today's set really made me smile.
I'm in love with all of those cakes! I can't choose a favorite!
Ooh! Cows! They are soooooooo adora-bull!!!
Awww I love the one with the monkeys. All of them are so cute!
Definitely one of the most adorable cake roundups I've ever seen!
The cupcake reminded me of Yoshi.
Is the Shrek design a wedding cake? I suppose it could be - Loves it =)
Where's the fondant-free sweet?!?
How would/could you even cut into the tree cake?
Oh. My. Goodness.
These are freaking adorable. I especially love the first one.
They're all too adorable to eat!
Thats a brilliant way to make a tree!
these are extra-special sweets today. i'm particularly fond of the last two (pastels and spring) because, well, i just am.
the cows are precious too. udderly adorable.
elephant trunk concerns me a tad. well done, but disconcerting.
great sweets, y'all!
Sorry, no "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww". I can't "aw" over something that looks so plastic and inedible when I know it isn't supposed to be either.
In re: Margaret's comment, where exactly is Ronald McDonald????
I also was sort of creeped out by the elephant cake ... especially when I thought that was a vacuum hose.
"Well, we know you LOVE to vacuum, so ... TA-DA ... a vacuum cleaner sneaking out of a box! Yay!"
The fact that it's an elephant trunk is only slightly better, but I will concede that it's a well made cake.
LOVE the tree cake - so cute. Although, I'm with Boob, how do you cute such a cake?
Oh my word! I love these! Especially the elephant, and the animals in the tree, and the pastel cupcake... really, all of them!
I think they're all so cute!
and the lion on the fourth cake looks a bit like a peacock... but still adorable!
Most of these are quite beautiful, but I really don't like the elephant one. It took me a while to figure out what it was . . . it looked quite like a snake, especially with the happy birthday ribbon beside it. I couldn't figure out why someone would want a snake for a first birthday. When I did realize it was an elephant, I STILL couldn't figure out how that translated into a first birthday cake.
Love the tree!
The cows cake (while all are super cute) is one of my all time favorite cakes!
Those are all so absolutely darling! I about died when I saw that Shrek cake!!
Yummmmmy! Delicious quarter-inch-thick plastic-flavored fondant.
That tree with all of those adorable animals is absolutely stunning!
Best Sunday Sweets ever!
Sorry, but these aren't cakes. They're made of plastic, or some plastic-like substance, not flour, sugar, eggs, etc.
Not one of them looks edible.
So so sooooooo cute! The tree is beyond adorable, and the pastel one...but good grief I *heart* them all. While I am crazy over the "wrecks" during the week, I'm so glad you include some really amazing work too. :-)
FYI, I think someone already touched on this, but the elephant cake is for a little girl named Ella....you know, Ella-phant.... :-)
The elephant cake cracks me up. It reminds me a little of the heffalump from Whinnie the Pooh.
Gary, don't be such a jerk. Some of the decorations on the cakes may not be edible, but I'm sure everything else is fine and probably delicious.
Ella + Fondant = Elephant. (Ellafondant?) Either way, it all adds up...
that cupcake is too cute to eat.
Every Sunday I find myself wondering how people could actually eat these cakes...they are just too cute!!
That elephant in a box one is so freaking precious it kind of hurts!
incredibly cute and pretty, love them.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using figurines for the Shrek cake. They are in proportion to the rest of the cake and fit in quite nicely. We've definitely seen toys used in atrocious designs. This is very well done.
I also love that the Shrek cake looks to be regular icing. More edible than the entirely fondant cakes. Which makes even more sense that the Shrek figures aren't fondant - who eats fondant or marzipan figures anyway? Waste of time if you ask me.
The Shrek one looks the most real to me.
Good thing the elephant cake WAS executed very well, because if it wasn't, that could have led to... well, shall we say... bad situations. Yeah. How about we don't go there.
I don't think I could eat any of those adorable fondant characters!
I think I've been slightly warped by cake wrecks because my first reaction to the elephant cake was baby shower cake gone wrong -- I saw a green surgical draped table and a tentacle coming out. Before I ever visited cake wrecks, I would never have imagined that anyone would depict a delivery room scene in cake. Jen and John, thanks for educating me.
wv -- geredi Are geredi to see more cake wrecks? Yes I am!
Ohhh They are all soo cute - I wish I could find a baker close to me that could produce work like this. I would definitely have one for my daughters!
Those are so sweet. Made my day. :)
