10 Sweets For All Moms, But Especially Mine

Happy Mother's Day, all moms-but-especially-mine!

(Vkusno Bar, Russia)

You moms are the cat's meow; totally paw-some.

And while all moms are different, I bet a lot of you could come together over donuts and coffee:

(Sharp Tooth Treats, Canada)

Or if not, over cookies of donuts and coffee. Because seriously, how cute are these??

Do you have a Queen Mum in your life? Because this cake is fit for royalty:

(Cakes By Kasib, UK)

I call my mother-in-law "Mum," and she proudly displays a pair of red stiletto heels that she used to wear on a shelf in her living room. (She's currently in her seventies.) So yeah, this cake is perfect for her. :D

It's also hard to go wrong with a box of chocolates, no matter what the occasion:

(Amanda's Little Cake Boutique, UK)

My mom especially appreciates chocolate after a long hard day of not having any chocolate.
Same, Mom. Same.

This next beauty was created to support The Global Fund, particularly the fight for healthy moms and babies:

(Mad Hen Cakes, Australia)

Perfect for Mother's Day, right? I love the way the red ribbons form her skirt.

While we're talking moms and health care: did you know today is also International Nurses Day? This one's dear to my heart because my mom, Sharon, was an ICU RN most of my childhood, 'til a bad car accident left her unable to work. I never really understood what Mom did until much later in life, and I'm still in awe. Plus Mom is still very much our family nurse, ha, so here's a sweet cake for ALL the nurses, moms, and nurse moms out there:

(Karolyn's Kakes, Pennsylvania)

Thank you, nurses! You are all heroes who deserve cake today. :)

Now back to this adorableness:

(Yashina Olesya, Russia)

Bear hugs!

And some bunnies to love!

(Hey Cake Tripoli, Libya)

I love this new clear lollipop trend with embedded flowers, btw. So sweet.

One more cutie bearing gifts:

(CakeHeaven by Marlene, Malta)

And finally, a sweet mother daughter cake in my favorite colors:

(Kek Couture, Turkey)

Teal and orange! Woot woot!
I love the soft pink roses in the frames, too, and the family locket is a sweet touch.

Happy Mother's Day again, moms, and happy Sunday to everyone else! However you're spending your day today, here's hoping it's extra Sweet.

Star Wars Sweets For Revenge of the 5th

Since yesterday was May the Fourth, that means today is Revenge of the 5th!

Er, if you're not a Star Wars nerd like me: that's a punny take on Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith.

Which is all the excuse I need to post more great Star Wars cakes!

(By Mike's Amazing Cakes, Washington)

One of the best Star Wars stacks I've seen! The art for Rey & Kylo is redonkulously cute, and BB-8 is PERFECTION. (Believe me, after cosplaying as his head, I know a great BB when I see one.)

There's a whole galaxy of great Millennium Falcon cakes out there, but this one took things into hyperdrive:

(Bety Sugarland, Portugal)

It's floating! It lights up! And look at that gorgeous backdrop!

While I'm casually dropping humble brags about my past Star Wars cosplay, did I mention I was also a Jawa?

(Charity Fent Cake Design, Missouri)

"Utini!" is right, because those are some fabulous teeny Jawas and Ewoks and AT-ATs, OH MY.

Now witness the POWER of this fully armed - and probably delicious - battle station:

(Cakes Decor member Margie, Florida)

More lights! And love the fun colors for the galaxy finish.

We can all agree, Yoda is the cutest Jedi, right?

(Bryson Perkins of Triolo's Bakery, New Hampshire)

RIGHT YOU ARE.

Also it's darn near impossible to believe he's actually cake. WOW.

I also never imagined a stormtrooper could be cute, but give him a giant bobble head and a Death Star balloon, and suddenly, BAM:

(Spring Bloom Cakes, Ontario)

I've got a great feeling about this.

I really searched for a great Darth Vader cake, minions, but then I got distracted... by a minion Darth Vader:

(Paprika by Sabrina, Buenos Aires)

I know minions are a little last year, but my mom still loves them and this is for her. And for me, because I like his rainbow lightsaber. :D

This BB-8 wins "best use of a birthday candle EVER":

(Regali Kitchen, Philippines)

BRILLIANT!! Pun intended.

Speaking of puns, we can't be riffing off "Revenge of the Sith" today without including the horniest Sith of them all, Darth Maul:

(Natasha Rice Cakes, California)

And yes, HE'S ENTIRELY EDIBLE! I didn't believe it, either, so I had to check to be sure.

I feel like you're judging me for that "horny" joke, so allow me to make up for it with this gorgeous wedding cake:

(Black Sheep Cakes, Kansas)

You love it. I KNOW.

And finally, you beautiful, scruffy-looking nerf herders, since I don't have a good Princess Leia cake, here's the next best thing:

(By a hobby baker named Megan, who saved the day when all the professional bakeries refused the order. YAY MEGAN!)

Princess Chewbacca.

I like to think this would have made Peter Mayhew proud.

::Wookiee roar::

 

Happy Sunday, everyone!
