Sunday Sweets: Studio Ghibli
June 8, 2014 John and I watched My Neighbor Totoro for the first time last week, and now I'd like to know where this movie has been all our lives. SO GOOD.
So now that I'm newly inspired by all things Miyazaki, I thought I'd round up the best Studio Ghibli cakes I could find. Even if you're like me and haven't seen all of them yet, these gorgeous cakes are still a treat on their own!

I didn't realize there was more than one version of the Romanized alphabet. Because Hiragana, Katakana, and tens of thousands of Kanji isn't enough we need variations to further confuse the rest of the world. Looks like I learned the Hepburn version 15 years ago and might have forgotten how to spell happy birthday in the meantime. The "u" would indeed be correct. Apologies. I'll stick to speaking it from now on.
These certainly put to shame my amateur, non-fondant Totoro cake that I diid for my nephew two years ago!
OMG......(Squeeing hysterically with glee) those are truly masterpieces in cakedom!!!!!!
