Sunday Sweets: Pretty As A Peacock
June 11, 2017 When I was younger, I read somewhere that having peacock feathers in the house was bad luck. Something about the "eyes" on the feathers being evil.
Now, I don't know about you, but if I could gaze into these eyes all day, I'd consider myself downright lucky.

Especially if I had a fork.
In fact, I'd feel pretty fortunate if I had any of these cakes around.

Who could dread such a perfect fall of feathers?
And this little birdie would be welcome in any season:

Especially with all that intricate Mehndi-inspired piping! Wow.
Here's another pipe(ing)-dream:

Look closely. See the peacock?
(And wouldn't those piped feathers make a lovely tattoo?)
Check out how this next one manages to convey "peacock" without a single beak or feather:

That crest on top is too perfect.
Not that I'm dissing feathers, mind you!

I want these as earrings.
You can even have a gorgeous peacock cake without a hint of their iconic blue:

So soft and sweet! I like the blush of pink in the flower buds.
Or for a real statement, how about white-on-white?
;)
Fingers crossed the bird was the ring-bearer.
Think we can eat the cake out of the middle of this and turn it into a lamp?

Eat your heart out, Tiffany.
And finally, if you've got it, flaunt it!:

Well, it seems we've run out of peacock Sweets.
How unlucky.

Beautiful :D
My wedding theme and colors!
When I think of peacocks I think of Percival in the novel Diamond In the Window by Jane Langton. Now that was a lucky bird. Lovely craft.
#8 #9 are my favorites
When you announced year of the best wrecks it never crossed my mind that it would also be a year of the sweetest most breath taking... I am loving it!
So pretty... the bakers should be proud as peacocks about these!
Awesome cakes! I live on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and we are known for our peacocks! Not everyone embraces these beautiful creatures, but I think it's great that we have them!

That next-to-last one, the one made to look like stained glass, is STUNNING!
These are very beautiful! Fleur de Lisa's cake makes me think of the 1920s. Every Sunday I smile with Sunday Sweets!
