Sunday Sweets: Just For You, Mom!
May 11, 2014 My mom is awesome, so I'd really like to do something extravagant for her for Mother's Day.
Like a new car!

Ahh, imagine the purr on that engine.
Or, wait, no. A camper! And a pontoon boat!
;)

Perfect for weekends!
Or maybe I should get her something nice for everyday. Like a pretty piece of jewelry.

Or a whole box of jewelry!

And maybe a new purse?

Oooh, ooh, wait. Luggage! She LOVES vintage luggage!
;)
(By Inticing Creations)
But luggage is no fun if you can't use it, so...
I know! A cruise!
;)

A nice cruise with a stop in -- let's see -- Paris!

With a credit line at the Maison du Chocolat. Haha!
Then on the way home she can stop in Africa for a photo safari:

Knowing Mom, I'll bet she tries to bring home a cute elephant.

(By Merritt's Bakery, which ONLY makes buttercream cakes. Can you believe that's fondant-free?)
Well, we could widen the doors to accommodate his ears, I guess, and... and...
Hang on, what am I doing?
I'm sure Mom would rather know I listened to her advice, saved my money, and just spent some time today telling her how much I love her.

But I'm still getting her flowers.

Hey, Mom didn't raise any dummies.

Those are beautiful cakes :D I cannot believe that elephant is fondant free :O
Awesome. And I had to grin at the suggestion to take a cruise and stop at Paris. Hopefully those big princess line cruise ships will fit down the Seine and under those bridges...
Just had to post that the stack of suitcases is totally copying Mike's Amazing Cakes.

[Editor's note- The tricky thing is figuring out who came up with what first. I can find a number of very similar stacked luggage cakes online but I can't say who inspired who. Did Christopher Garrens inspire Mike? And did Pink Cake Box inspire Christopher? I don't know. What I do know is that this particular cake was made by Inticing Creations and that it's fun to look at. Have a wonderful Sunday and Mother's Day! -john (thoJ)]
My mother-in-law's name is Joyce, and she loves pink. I'm not so sure about the Hello Kitty decals, but I'm sure she'd love the first cake just the same!
Of course, ALL are pretty (and yay for fondant-free!), but I really like the Paris cake with the 2-d airplane pulling the 3-d banner!
Just totally blown away. No other comment to do justice to these astounding cakes. It is hard to believe the jewelry in the box is not real.
What beautiful cakes! Amazing.
I'm being taken out to lunch by my little family. :). After seeing all these enticing cakes, I'm thinking maybe I can mom-guilt them into an after trip to a bakery for some yummies! ;)
The handbag one - can't believe that isn't actually leather. Amazing.
they're all great, but the jewelry box & the purse are amazing.
I wish that I still had my Mom so I could give her one of these wonderful cakes. I am totally blown away by the fondant free elephant cake but Mom would like the flower pot cake best.
The jewelry box...the Dolce & Gabana purse...the striped pink confection! LOVE them all!
That purse cake seriously could have fooled me. Wow! And I love the Cake Wrecks tribute note cake; who doesn't love yellow roses?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
