I absolutely adore that top cupcake. So cute! It too took me a while to figure out that elephant/gift cake and I'm still not sure I'm sold on it. But very adorable cake lineup today!
never mind the rainbow, what about those flowers and the itty bitty mushrooms!
I think the cupcake is by Sugarbloom Cupcakes. :)

I am totally fine with the Shrek figures being toys. I mean, if they were actual cake flotsam...well, who keeps flotsam?
Those were some of the cutests cakes. I especially loved the elephant trunk coming out of the wrapped present.
How can anyone cut into these? Or don't they? In 10 years time are they going to be featured on Cake Wrecks again as 'what not to do with your birthday cake?' Sooooo cute. HeyJude! x
awe.......................
I especially like the first two.
Great day for such cute cake, they made me grin and I needed that.
I tried to go through the whole post without saying "awwwwww", and it was so hard. I cracked on the last picture. I then went to the start and gave all of them the awwwws they deserved.
Note to people complaining about the fondant: jen has the email at the end of her sunday sweet posts for a reason - send her some buttercream beauties, c'mon! And as someone said, the shrek cake is mixed media - there is Buttercream there.
I guess the only good CCC is a cupcake ON a cake!
Unless it's put in the hands of Sandra Lee, and then...
Oh, never mind. Buzzkill.
I just need to tell you I LOVE the blog! Everytime I sit down and peruse through the posts, I laugh hysterically! My husband and kids always ask me, "Mom, what is wrong with you?" Thanks for all the laughs!

Umm Gary? They're cakes. Never heard of fondant?
My baby's name is Lily, spelled the same way. That cake is positively adorable!
I recognize that first cupcakes - amazing cake designer from Australia http://sugarbloomcupcakes.blogspot.com/ or check out their flikr album - all amazing stuff!
I'm actually Little Ella's auntie (I'm so amused, randomly seeing this on there!) and I assure you, they did not name her that out of love for Elephants. :P
It was even more adorable in person.
They are all great but that "ella" phant cake should have ended up on a regular wreck day. WTF??? It looks like a giant penis sticking out of a box. Can we say "dick in a box"!
I "awwed" at the heffalump-cake. If you've seen "The Heffalump Movie", Lumpy is kinda shy and sweet and would definitely hide/play under the tablecloth, but still want to give Ella her 1 candle for her birthday. Seems like the decorator got the purple/blue colour of the trunk absolutely right too.

Now THESE are gorgeous cakes!
Beautiful artistry! Too precious!
The dinosaur or dragon cupcake just slays me.... hee hee hee hee... never have I seen a cupcake with more charm!
Those are adorable! Although I was a little confused by one of them at first sight. I guess it was well executed, but it took me a minute to figure out that it was an elephant trunk. And then I still wasn't really sure WHY it was an elephant trunk. (At first I thought it was a vaccuum hose, or the end of a balloon, or a cute umbilical cord.)
These are all gorgeous... well, except for the elephant cake. It's well made, but I agree with the others who found it kind of creepy. The trunk is big enough that there's no WAY an entire elephant fits in the box. Which makes me think there's only an elephant head in the box. Which is gross.
The Shrek cake reminds me of the Mario cake you featured a while ago...
I'm Ella's mom, and no, we're not elephant obsessed...just thought it would be cute for a first birthday. The picture doesn't do the cake justice. Also, if you're afraid it's inedible, the cake was the most delicious cake I'd ever had. Mike's did a great job.
Yeah... the "elephant" cake looks more like an uncut umbilical cord.

soooo cute!! and a real sense of artistry and craftsperson-ship. all lovely cakes to admire. thanks for sharing!
I don't know exactly what that is on the top of the last one, but it made me do a long "AWWWW!"
Gotta weigh in on the elephant (is that supposed to be an elephant trunk?) one.
It scared the heck out of both me and my husband.
Of course, we haven't had any coffee yet this morning...
(all the other ones are super cute tho.)
I'll let you in on a little secret;
Those shrek figurines are NOT just figurines.....I recognised them right away,we have the same one,never thought about using them for a cake :D
They are part of a lovely shrek memory game.Each splits in half and then you have little cups that go over them and need a nice whirl and then you play.It all stores in a shrek's head shaped green box

You lied to me! You said that the amount of "awww's" wouldn't be painful!
I think it's time to invest in some fondant stock.
Am I the only one who thought that was a blue baby blanket? Now that would be cute! Elephant trunk? Alrighty. The customer is always right. But how about making the box bulge just a bit, so we get the idea there's something a little over-sized inside? And after going to all that trouble, you might want to spring for a nicer candle. This cake is making me downright RoseAnne RoseAnnaDanna-ish.
augh! butterflies bunnies and rainbows! 3 OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS!
That's too cute to eeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat!
Umm okay, the wrecks make me so proud of the cakes I've made. These great cakes make me want to pack up my supplies.
one of the best cake roundups I've ever seen here! Good work. xx
these are the cutest cakes ever! i want the dinosaur one
These are all incredibly cute, but they're too cute to eat!
And I'm not a big fan of that wrappable "sheet" icing. It doesn't look like it would taste very good.
Very pretty! But who in their right mind would want to eat that much fondant? Blech..
