Sunday Sweets: Heart Attack!
Do you love...love? Can you make that little growly noise in the back of your throat? Do you often talk like Antonio Banderas while wearing silk fencing pants? (More importantly, do they even make silk fencing pants?)
If so, then this post is for you.
But everyone else will probably like it, too.
Aww. And that's really saying something, guys.
Finally, chocolate icing done right! Don't the swirls look like little bird nests?
With Valentine's Day being a more intimate holiday [rawr], we see lots of sweet mini-cakes for the occasion:
This technique of overlapping the edge with a heart border is genius. GENIUS, I say.
Ack! So cute!
Here's a beautifully made version of Bakerella's box of chocolates cake:
(See what I did there?)
After all, there are still gems like this:
Seriously, check out the texture on the icing "icing." (Heh.) It looks like a gigantic spatula smoothed it on: just perfect!
And now some regular size cupcakes:
Louise over at Cake Journal has long been one of my favorite bakers:
And I am so jealous.
And finally, a Sweet that reminds me of a cheery, old-fashioned carnival:
Now, who's ready [eyebrow waggle]...for love?
Or maybe a slice of cake?
Yep, right there with you. Pass the milk, please. ;)

my purpose today is to urge other single peeps to buy themselves lovely cakes, beautiful cupcakes, and/or stunning lingerie.. . .
Absolutely love the skunk. Fabulous cake.
Also, someone finally got the tree stump cake right.
I still hate fondant though.
My WV is "redard" and I could make a joke but it would be deeply inappropriate and offensive, so I won't.
That stitched/quilted teddy cake has to be one of the best Sweets so far; not only does it look amazing, but it also manages to look delicious (something marzipan fails at, usually).

That cupcake cake is enough to inspire a mad rush for baker-wannabes to buy their own <a href="http://giantcupcakepans.com> giant cupcake pan </a>...
That cake with the roses is pretty fantastic.
Love, love, all of these.
Those are the flippin' cutest bees in existence.
