Sunday Sweets: Tim Burton Treats!
October 22, 2017 Is there any time of the year more suited to Tim Burton cakes?
I THINK NOT.
So here are my new favorites inspired by some of Burton's spookier films.
Beetlejuice:
;)
(By Sarah Olmsted)
We're starting off with a bang and a scream, because LOOK AT THIS CAKE. The sandworms! The waiting room! And the top with the model set's grave scene? Perfection.
It took me a good 15 seconds to find Beetlejuice, btw. See him? NO HINTS!
Corpse Bride:
;)

1) I can't believe this is cake.
2) Emily looks dead sexy.
See what I did there?
HEYOOOO.
Alice in Wonderland:
;)
(By Silovoguo for the Cake Design Italian Festival)
All the other Alice cakes can just pack up, you guys. WE'RE DONE HERE.
(Sooo many stunning details, but look at the stack of floating teacups! That and the painted roses are my favorite bits. Plus Cheshire's eyes.)
Frankenweenie:
;)
(By Sara Giustizieri)
Excellent hand painting and figure sculpts so spot-on they could be collectible figures.
And everyone's favorite:
The Nightmare Before Christmas:
;)
(By Dina Cimarusti Cakes)
This one has it all: the swirls, the bathtub, Oogie Boogie - I even see Zero!
;)
(By Pucky Cakes)
Love that Sally gets her own cake here - and what IS that adorable bat/cat creature she's holding?
'Cuz I want one.
There are tons of Jack & Sally wedding cakes out there, but these two in particular caught my eye:
;)
(By That Baking Girl)
The chalkboard tier has the famous "meant to be" quote from the movie. I love the swirly roses, and those colors! Plus the window frame topper is a genius design.
;)
(By Splendor Cakes)
I really fell for the contrast on this one: that vivid pink and orange and lace topper with the dark sepia tones on the bottom is just... WORKING. You know? And I love the hand painted art of Jack and Sally in Dia de los Muertos face paint - a fun twist which helps explain the brighter colors.
And now, a few Sweets that bring all kinds of Burton characters together:

Edward! Yay! Plus those vivid jewel tones look amazing behind all the figure sculpts.
And finally:
;)
(By Queen City Bake Shop)
How cool is this?! The TV sets alone would make this a masterpiece, but then there are scenes from Nightmare, Frankenweenie, and Alice inside them!
And, you guys, they even light up:
;)
;)
Ahhh- mazing.
Happy Sunday, everyone! Now, who wants to go watch some movies?

Aww perfection :D
By saying "Is there any time of the year more suited to Tim Burton cakes?" You seem to be implying that there would be a time of the year when these are not suitable and I don't think there's any time of the year where I wouldn't like these,
Frankly, I’m disappointed that none of the Nightmare cakes had the Mayor of Halloweentown in them. He was always one of my favorite characters, with his rotatable expressions.
I love all of tgem. Goregous!
But, fir the first time in years, you have the pop ups again. The one that ssys you have avirys, click here. Sigh. Just FYI
Aw wow. I want a statue of that first one, absolute perfection!
Get in my belly!
I'm 38. I've never had a boyfriend. I've never gone on a date. I've never had a man even tell me I'm pretty or talk to me (except for the elderly, blind, toothless homeless man I pass whilst walking to work). So, the reality is, I'll probably never get married. But if I did, I would want to have the Jack and Sally wedding cake.
Fabulous, and perfect for the season. :D
That Corpse Bride...so much cake-boob...
