10 Absolutely Ridiculous Easter Cakes

"PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!!"

"Iiiittty bitty living space."

Ever wonder why cake decorators use so much plastic flotsam?

WONDER NO MORE.

Still, where there's a will to wreck, there is a way:

Bravo, wreckerators. BRAVO.

Because when I think of the resurrection of Jesus, I think of splattery tie-dye:

And carrots on a cross.

(I looked it up: carrots are NOT cruciferous vegetables. Dang it.)

Easter egg or old pepperoni?

Either way, WOW AM I IN THE EASTER SPIRIT.

Q: So how hard IS it to make an egg-shaped cake?

A: Oh, about that hard.

"Quick! To the Dimensionally Inaccurate Carrot Car, Bun-Man!"

"I'll be right behind you in the Electro Egg!!"

*zodzodzod*

"It's pronounced 'Buh-THEAD.'"

"And that's MISTER Butthead to you."

Confession: I actually love these and want a dozen of my very own:

Mostly because they remind me of this:

Thanks to Holly A., Kathy B., Nicole S., Jennie, Leslie G., Molly, Stacey K., Wesley T., Dimitra S., & Jenna M. for the excuse to post that clip. (The crocodile kills me. The wiggly feet! Ah!)

10 Enchanted Garden Cakes That Are Pure Magic

It's National Gardening Day, my friends, and rather than dwell on how TERRIBLE I am at keeping plants alive, I've decided to look at this in a positive light: I'm really good at killing plants.

Another positive?

I can't kill these!

(Mina Bakalova, Bulgaria)

AND LOOK HOW PRETTY. These colors make me so happy. Ahhh.

Today I decided to branch out (heh) from typical gardening cakes, so I started searching for "Secret Garden" cakes... and wow did that pay off:

(Sihirli Pastane, Turkey)

EEEEE! I actually gasped, it's so magical. And I must - MUST! - know what the soft grass is made of. Because I want to pet it. :)

This one is more like a surprise garden:

(Julia Kedyarova, Moscow)

One of the best flower slice cakes I've seen. I especially love the butterflies!

More secret garden vibes:

(By Freehill, Original Design by Karen Portoleo)

That trompe l'oeil painting is so convincing; I though the cake was actually carved out behind her!

Are enchanted gardens a thing? Because I think this qualifies:

(Sweet Symphony, India)

The floating hummingbird! SWOON. Plus I've been staring for a while now, and I *still* can't quite tell which of the top tier flowers are painted and which are 3D.

You know what else is incredible? A wearable enchanted garden, which should totally be a thing;

(Cake Buro, Russia)

Look at the detail in her hair wisps(!!), and the teeny tiny butterflies at the bottom. So much to love here.

Of course I have to include a little Wonderland mushroom garden, right?

(Elena Gnut Cakes, Russia)

RIGHT.

Elena's painting always blows me away! I love that it's the classic Disney Alice with a Tim Burton feel.

This one reminds me of some sun catchers I had as a kid:

(Vinism Sugar Art, world-traveling teacher)

Anyone remember the sun catchers where you melted plastic beads into a frame? (Do they still make those?) These colors are so bright, it's like those: like there's bright sunlight streaming through.

It took me a second to spot the couple in this romantic renaissance number:

(Baker Unknown, help?)

I like the unexpected pops of orange in all those pastels, so pretty!

And finally, my friends, here's an enchanted garden Sweet guaranteed to leave you hanging:

(La Linia Artful Desserts, Pennsylvania, as featured here)

No words! Just a dropped jaw, BIG EYES, and two grabby hands, ha.

Happy Sunday, my friends! May you find many more Sweet things.
