Spring Sweets
January 3, 2010 What's that? It's winter, you say? Meh. Seasons are a state of mind - and these bright colors and fun designs are sure to chase any winter blues away.

All beautiful but those Daffodils are AMAZING! I wouldnt want to cut into it.
ooo these are so lovely!
That daffodil cake is amazing! And I love the beehive cake.
Beautiful! The daffodils are also my favorite!
too pretty to eat!
The daffodil cake is on Cake Central.
All of these cakes are so springy and beautiful!!
Wow! These are gorgeous! I can't decide on which one I like the best! I don't think I could cut into them either.
These Sunday Sweets decorators are fabulous artists!
A tip o the hat to them.
Makes the wrecks look "worserer".

Very pretty cakes - the bunch of daffodils are just amazingly beautiful!
Jen & John - thanks so much for brightening my days with your wonderful sense of humor. :)
I agree with Vashti. All of them are amazing, but that daffodil cake is just over the top.
Am I the only one who thinks fondant covered cakes look completely plastic and therefore unappetizing and wrecky?
All beautiful, but the daffodil cake really takes... well... the cake! I wish I had the patience to do that.
WOW!!!! Those daffodils are amazing!!!
I agree with Vashti, I love the Daffodil Cake. I would totally buy it. How beautiful!
Wow! While some of these cakes are gorgeous and clear of time and effort, my favorite ahs to be the bunch of flowers. That must have been painfully slow work. And while it is probably true that there are more stems than flowers, you need an anal retentive person to be bothered counting. Nice discoveries.

Funny - at the adress De Koekjesfee is at now, I remember there being a goth/rock fashion store. It's right opposite a metal dive pub... Must be a lovely contrast.
I love the beehive cake. So pretty. :)
On a side note, it appears that cupcake wrecks are hitting France too: they had a story on the increasing popularity of cupcakes and muffins on the news last night and some of the things they showed were simply atrocious. I wish I could have taped it to show you.
Sure, seasons are a state of mind...if you live in Orlando. Those of us in the part of the world where, you know, you actually get snow tend to disagree. I should know. It's 18 degrees outside now, and I made the mistake of trying to walk my dogs while barefoot.
Anyway...these cakes are just lovely. Like so many others have said, the daffodils are my favorite, followed by the beehive. I also love the grass tiered cake.
Only 8 more weeks until spring. I can do this...
But maybe not if you keep posting spring-y cakes in the middle of winter.
I can see anonymous's point. I think the fondant cakes are beautiful, but I was very disappointed when I finally tasted one and realized the fondant is barely edible! Now I find the look of fondant a bit of a turn-off since I know it won't taste good. I still think these are very pretty, though.
The Wrecks are funny, but the Sweets are works of Art. The expertise, wit, inventiveness and artistry that a well-executed cake exhibits are celebrations of the skill of the bakers. Any fool can wreck a cake, but to make one of these? That requires genius!
Just love these! the daffodil one was so cute!! But your right the first one makes you think about summer!! I need that right now its
-19 outside here in MN.
Love these! The green and white one is so fresh-looking, and the daffodils made me grin. Spring is coming!
As everyone else says, the daffodil cake is a feat of patience... but the green-and-white one absolutely steals my breath with its stunning simplicity. Wow.
I LOVE the tint cakes with the butterflies and the daffodil cake and the beehive cake...They are all so beautiful! thanks for brightening my morning! =)
The daffodil cake sure beats the hell out of Sandra Dee's http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/sandra-lee/no-bake-daffodil-cake-recipe/index.html" rel="nofollow">Wreck over on The Food Network.
Oh, thank you for bringing a little Spring into a cold and wet Seattle sunday! My fave is the second one, the little green and white cake. So cute!
Ack, I meant Sandra LEE. Not that she deserves that much respect.
geez. daffodils, schmaffodils. okay fine. everybody likes the yellow daffodils. yes. they're pretty.
BUT (isn't there's always a big but?!), give me some PINK any ol' day of the week (wreckdays or sundays) and i'm good.
am lovin' cake #1, #4 and #5. so sweet, so spring-ish, so lovely. so pinkish. :-)
I LOVE the daffodil cake. Daffodils are my favorite. I want one!
My favorites are the daffodils, the beehive and the last one with the bright green grass. Perfect to look at on a bleak day!
got your book for christmas and love it! love these beautiful cakes - I can't imagine cutting into such amazing work.
To those who hate the fondant: Awww...some bakers make their own and it tastes very good.
I really like the second one. You don't see bright green and white that often...or ever. It's also so classy!
Beautious Cakes! But the first one,with the pink silhouette on top seems to be be shaking her fist as if saying,"Hey you kids,Get away from my Cake"!!
I. Love. Those. Daffodils!
I'm in awe, especially of the daffodil cake, which doesn't even appear edible.
Am I the only one who thinks all those butterflies are spectacular? I just want a zillion of those all over my house :)
WV - bowell.... use your imagination - these cakes are too pretty today
I love the green ones, especially the first. And yes, fondant is yucky but you can always peel it off (especially if there is almond underneath - yum)its done its job just being beautiful.
Holy cannoli! That daffodil cake is ridiculously gorgeous. And the beehive cake = CUTENESS!
I like my cake like I like my women...covered in BEES!
Is it sad that that was the first thing that came to my head upon seeing that beehive cake?
The fifth cake...with rosettes and butterfly is the work of Peggy Porschen....she makes lovely cakes.

Hi! The little cakes with butterflies are from the blog Mad Baker (http://www.madbaker.net/2007/09/mad-about-miniature-sugar-paste-cakes/).
Cheers,
Paula
The daffodil cake is making me swoooon - beautiful!
These are all AMAZING! I love that lime green scalloped and white cake!
I hope you keep doing Sunday Sweets--I love seeing them. They are a good contrast to all the wrecks--they reveal just how awful the wrecks are, and they remind us how good/talented other bakers are. It's fun to laugh at the wrecks, but it's also nice to give props to the talented.
The best Sunday sweets to date! love them all.... if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the green and white one; so pretty.
Oh, lovely! I must learn how to do the daffodils. I wonder if they could be done with royal icing? I also love the green and white cake right above it.
I have an overwhelming desire to go cake shopping and put back on the 10 lbs shed this christmas season
Wow. Those are very well done. Some serious talent. I bet the taste as good as they look.
I love winter, I don't wan... oh my that second cake is gorgeous, just think you could some red and it would be beautiful for Christmas...

I recognized the daffodil cake from cake central. It's in my favorites there.
