Sunday Sweets: Good Sports
July 18, 2010 Welcome back, cake fans, to our weekly installment of Sunday Sweets! Quick shout-out to our sponsor, Sports Cliché Week. "When your back's against the wall, don't drop the ball; if you don't know what to say, just reach for a cliché!
Now there's a player who leaves it all out on the field!
By Natalie of Doodle Cakes
You just can't teach that.
Go get 'em, Tiger.
This Sweet is completely on the ball:
By Cake Central member Anna902
It's a slam dunk!
Here's a Sweet that takes it to the next level:
By Charm City Cakes (aka Ace of Cakes)
Way to bring your A game, guys.
Most bakers talk a good game, but here's a contender who's clearly in a league of her own:
Now that's knocking it out of the park!
What do you say we kick it up a notch?
By Eifel Cakes
Talk about a home run - that is some fancy footwork!
Speaking of which, this next Sweet really steps it up:
It's definitely a shoe-in for the most realistic cake doppelganger *I've* ever seen.
And in case you think I'm out of bounds even calling this a cake, here's a progress shot:
By Courtney of Cake Nouveau
You can tell she just wanted it more. (Uh... whatever that means.)
And finally, this player really has his game face on:
Plus, he's completely fondant free!
Now that's giving it 110%.
I hope y'all enjoyed this Sweet Clichéd Treat! Oh, and believe it or not, there really IS a Sports Cliché Week - it just ended yesterday.

That BASKETBALL HOOP cake is amazing!! Such clean work!! Not sure I get the joke about BP that someone posted above. The black is obviously representing a hole for the ball to go through--not oil. Very difficult to achieve stuff like that with cake and this was spot on!! Great job!
Love the hockey cakes. And cheer up Red Wings fans... if people complain that they such, just point them at the Maple Leafs :)
The basketball and sneaker are really impressive, and the tiger's cute, but several of these (starting with the first one) don't look like cake, and some don't even look edible. Shouldn't a cake always look like cake-- and delicious-- even when it's fabulously decorated?
i Love the bag and the basketball. if i would be the one who'll have a cake like that, i won't eat it. I'll just preserve it..LOL
Please tell me that's not a bride and groom in the Stanley Cup!
What was the shoe cake maker thinking? Doesn't she/he know that when someone gives you a picture of what they want the cake to look like you're just supposed to slap the picture on top of a plain cake? Especially when it's a picture of another cake. haha
WOH. that shoe cake is BONKERS. looks like you slip your foot in and go for a jog!!
I see these amazing cakes, and at first I am absolutely never impressed.
Why?
Because my mind doesn't register them as cakes. Even after that "in-progress" shot, I still could not possibly be able EVER to picture that sneaker cake as a cake and not a shoe.
Oh my God. I want whoever made any one of these realistic cakes you show on here to make all my desserts for me.
