Sunday Sweets Springs In
March 26, 2017 It's officially Spring!!
Which, I know, doesn't mean much when you're still buried in snow or already rockin' the flip-flops.
(GUILTY.)
Still, Spring means flowers and happy colors, so today, that's what you get. And you're gonna like it.

SHA-POW.
See? Happy cake.
;)
And BOOYA, sweet mini florals for an engagement cake!
Tell me you're not smiling, 'cuz I've got more.
;)
(By Kiara's Cakes)
Like this! Something about that color combo equals instant eye candy for me.
Of course Spring is all about gettin' down and dirty, so brace yourself:

SO DIRTY. And gorgeous. And kinda cute, if you like snails.
Here comes another natural beauty who's all bark and lots of bites:
;)
(By Sweetness)
Phenomenal Fondant Powers, look at these textures! This is one that must be bitten to be believed; I've never seen a better tree bark OR more delicate ruffles.
Speaking of double-takes, here's another one that fooled me:

The pitcher is cake, if you can believe it - I'm still not sure I do! What I do know is I'm in love.
Here's a fun modern take in bright pinks and yellows:

It's so Springy, right? And look at that embroidery texture! Incredible!
Now my favorite color, with my favorite flowers:
;)
(By Torta Nicoletta)
Orange + Poppies = Pure Jen Joy.
Or how about a wheel barrow bouquet?
;)
(By Golumbevskaya Olesya)
That's all sugar paste work, with a cake barrow!
Let's wrap things up with one more bold and bright number - and I freely admit I'm playing favorites:
;)
(By Lumipo)
MORE POPPIES! Woot woot! And how fun is that green "barn-wood"? (The topper is two hearts with a padlock and chain between them.) My favorite is the hand-painting, though, inspired by the art of Colleen Parker. So good.
Hope this made your Sunday a little more Springy, peeps, and a lot more happy!

Awwww so cheery :D
Love the topper on the last one!
One of my Sunday morning occupations every week: who has written CakeWrecks this Sunday? I can usually tell by the captions. This week I knew for sure it wasn't John (thoj) 'cause... every flower wasn't being called a daisy. And anyone who knows Jen knows she loves poppies.
Loved these cakes -- they all made me smile. Thanks, CW team!
I would love to see an experiment where some of these beautiful cakes featured on Sunday were recreated by the bakers featured during the week. That would be hilarious.
Oh!! I love them all! But if I had to choose, I'd want to play in the sweet, spring dirt with the grumpy little pansies, and the adorable snails! (I like the little cuties, but not fond of slime, either!) But I love the smell of the earth.
And, speaking of peeps...yum ( the marshmallow variety)!
That pitcher though!!!
Can sugar paste flowers be kept and saved? I'd love to have that wheelbarrow's flowers just displayed somewhere since I'd eat the whole cake!
Such happy flowers! Love the pansies and the snails - so cute.
Oh my! That wheelbarrow full of flowers is amazing! And that green vase is exquisite! The multi-color poppies made me smile, as did all the flowers. It's still cold and gray in MN where I live and the flowers just brightened my day and gave me hope foe things to come
I would love to have the green pitcher as an actual pitcher -- and then I'd put the pansies in it! These are fabulous cakes, Jen. Good call on all of today's features! :)
I love that pitcher, but I ESPECIALLY love the pansies-in-dirt. Amazing!
Love the Engagement cake and the Wheel Barrel one.
can I say that I am deeply honored that you have featured one of my cakes ... me?? lil' ol' me from a ittybitty tiny country? between all those magnificent cakes?? thank you so much!!!
