Sunday Sweets: Story Time Sweets
February 22, 2015 Once Upon a Time...
...in the Kingdom of Zuu,
;)
(By Artisan Cake Company)
lived a helpful young owl his Mom had named Huu.
Huu danced with Petunia when she did ballet,
;)
(By Dinky Doodle)
and untangled Sloth when bars got in the way.
;)
(By Conjurer's Kitchen)
He always had time to tie Sally's red bows,
;)
(By Planet Cake)
and if Hedgie asked, Huu would polish his nose.
;)
(By Debbie Does Cakes)
When Flamingos ran errands, he'd stay with their chicks,
;)
(By Mike's Amazing Cakes)
and he made sure that George ate the greens, not the sticks.
;)
(By Planet Cake)
Huu'd help Raffi up when he fell in a heap,
;)
(By Sprinkles Cakes)
and he sang lullabies, to help Flo go to sleep.
;)
(By Little Cherry Cake Co. for Cake Bomb)
He prattled with penguins,
;)
(By Janet MacPherson Cake Craft)
he combed all the llamas,
;)
(By Viva la Cake)
he even helped meerkats put on clean pajamas.
;)
(By Dootsy Dora)
And after all that, our Huu still wasn't through.
On Sunday, he shared all of his Sweets with you.
Happy Sunday!

OMG the cute :D :D
D'awwwwwwwwwww!
Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! They're all so cuuuuuute!!!! Including the meerkat in the sleeper pjs!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!! The cute! The cute!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ My favourite is the little hedgehog. No, wait, the hippo with the doll. No, the meerkat in pajamas. No, the owl! No, wait, it's the penguin chick... GAH, okay, they're all my favourites.
Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful start to my day!!! :)
Sharyn, I thought this was the newly discovered Dr. Seuss book!
Oh MY! So beautiful - but I couldn't even think of eating these!
These just cannot be cakes - how could you take a knife to any of them?
I saw the Pig and thought, "Oh! I die!" and then I saw the hedgehog. Yup -- cuteness overload!!!!
AH-Mazing!! I would really have a hard time taking a knife to those cakes! (But I bet they taste as good as they look!) Truly works of art! Thanks Jen for all your hard work!
Red panda!! Red panda!! :-D
Wonderful cakes, wonderful story!
Love the owl! And the meerkat! And that llama!
Love 'em all, really. And love this site! =-)
Cuteness overload... squee!
Baby Oleg (that's the meercat, btw, you all knew that right? That his name is Oleg?) in CAKE!!! Argh, you just want to make me fat....(as if I could eat a meercat) I love ALL these......
I have to wonder if the recipients of these cakes either don't like to eat cake, or purchase a regular cake to serve? Of course they are lovely, but a clay sculpture would be pretty too, and, at least could be kept. I miss the "old fashioned " cakes that were cute and cleverly decorated, but actually doubled as a yummy dessert.
Cutest. Sunday Sweets. Ever. The only thing that would make it better would be a koala cake. :)
Aw, thanks SuBee. I was thinking of Seuss when I wrote it.
They're adorable, but I couldn't possibly bring myself to eat any of them. Could someone do porcelain versions instead?
Dying of cuteness overload! Only thing better would be Death By Chocolate.
And Sharyn, I am humbled and awed by your poetry talents yet again.
WAY too cute to eat....esp that meerkat in jammies! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thank you! This made me smile so big! What a wonderful gift on a Sunday morning! :-)
For the first time ever, I am CRYING from the cuteness! That meerkat in pajamas is the most adorable cake ever, right up there with REAL puppies and kittens.
My hat is off to you, Sharyn for Huu's busy day in the Land of Zuu.
This week's sweets and the wonderful word smithing accompanying the photos would make a delightful baby's first book! Do it for all the mommies.
As I scrolled through I kept thinking they couldn't possibly get cuter than the last one but they did! They kept getting cuter and cuter until that adorable meerkat wearing jammies at the end that wins the cuteness overload award hands down! Seriously, how do people cut and eat these? I want that last one in a plushy.
This needs to be the next Cake Wrecks book. For children. Lovely rhyme, beautiful cakes.
SO ADORABLE! I had to keep reminding myself that these were all CAKE!!! I would love to have them just as sculptures.
So much cute! The perfect story to read to the 4 day old little boy in my arms.
Sharyn, that was beautiful. Sweetly beautiful.
The hippo and the pj'd meerkat are my favorites. Too squee for words.
Add me to the chorus of "Too cute to eat!" I can't imagine cutting into any of these. As a child, I probably would have been hysterical if my brothers (it would have been my brothers) had even attempted to slice one of these apart!
It continues to amaze me that humans can be so creative. Guess it comes from having a creative Creator. (((hugs)))
Sharyn, I agree with D'awed by it all. This would make a fabulous picture book. I wonder how something like your post could get published in hard cover? I'd certainly buy a copy for myself and my program.
they are all gorgeous but there is something about that meerkat - maybe the expression or the pajamas - that I am in love with.
The meercat has bug jammies!!! SQUEEEEE!!!
Great post. Pig and Hippo are both Margie Carter original designs, credit where it is due. The orangutan looks like it could be her work too, she's not with Planet Cake anymore.
You can't slice up a sleeping red panda!
I LOVE the red panda--and the little lizard climbing up the side of the stump is a nice touch. (I'm surprised that there aren't bees and other bugs trying to get in on the sweetness, though!) How about doing a Sunday Snakes? There are so many beautiful ones, and if they can do lizards, why not branch out? (No, I'm not trying to be funny.)
Absolutely adorable! Sunday Sweets for sure!! <3
Baby Oleg does come as plushy. But I could never eat him as a cake: far too cute. (He's part of the Meerkat Macot family for an insurance firm in the UK)
Love these cakes and especially I love the little meerkat cake his name is oleg!!
Awwwz, Jodee!! Is he bigger than a cupcake? I'll bet he's sweeter! So happy for you!
Yup my son and I had a ball reading your story! Thank you!
OMG I actually did an audible *squeeeee*
Absolutely. The. Cutest. Sunday Sweets. Ever!!!
All the cakes and the story are simply adorable!!
And I just died at the baby meerkat. :)
Don't try to snack on your pjs , baby Timon !!
The sloth! The sloth!
Jen, add my voice to the chorus of "Next book, please". Just lovely.
You know you just wrote the cutest children's book ever, right?
Do you know, I actually read this to my kids as a childrens' book. They loved it!
Cutest. Cakes. Ever. It's not often a cake makes me go "squeee!"
