Sunday Sweets Goes Green For St. Paddy's
March 11, 2018 Saint Patrick's Day is coming, but it's a rare treat to find a cake as elegant as this Claddagh design for the holiday:

Who needs flowers with clovers this sweet?
So rather than featuring all Leprechauns and pots of gold, today I'm also mixing in some gorgeous wedding cakes in one of my favorite colors:

GREEN!
There's something so cheerful about bright emerald green, am I right?
Just like soft mossy greens make you feel at least 80% less stabby:
;)
Srsly, next time you're stuck in traffic, think about this cake. It'll totally help.
Now combine those two greens, and throw in some teensy pink roses...
;)
Aaaahhh.
That piping is blowing my mind. Perfect swags *and* brush embroidery!
This oh-so-subtle St. Patrick's design has the most incredible tiered tree on top:

You've probably spotted the pot of gold, but what about the tiny Leprechaun?
(Took me a minute!)
I heard a delicious rumor that this pot of gold is filled with a layer of cheesecake:

WHAT.
You know, I'd never have thought this color combo would work, but WOW does it:

And since orange is my favorite favorite color, of COURSE I'm feeling this next one:

Look closely; those lines are all hand-piped!
There's a new trend of making cakes as beautiful inside as they are out, and lemme tell ya:

I APPROVE.
In fact, since you really can't have a St. Patrick's Day celebration without at least ONE rainbow...
;)
(By Rosie Cake Diva)
...here's a cake with ALL the rainbows. [squee!]
In fact, you can keep your pot o' gold, Mr. Leprechaun; I'll just take this cake.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Oh, yum.....!!! Green, AND chocolate?
I am IN! But my favorite part is the wee leprechaun...(5th down)...he appears to be brooding....
HOW will he get that pot of gold DOWN?
=^~.~^=
I’m getting in line to try the pot of gold, chocolate and cheesecake! Wow!
These are beautiful! I like the ones with different colored layers!
Oh, wow! All of these cakes are scrumptious, but swags are DEVILISHLY hard to do, and to make them perfect is just shy of impossible. My hat is off to the folks at Red Carpet.
Makes me smile. :D
Please tell me you didn't just call the shamrocks on the top one "clover"...
I love Sundays. Ahhhhh. You’re right. I do feel 80% less stabby!
Is that first cake butter cream? I hope so with all my heart. I do love when a cake artist proves that butter cream can be beautiful.
