Sunday Sweets Isn't Ready For Fall, Y'all
October 4, 2015 I know technically it's already Fall, but I'm not ready for autumn colors yet! So here's one last hurrah of bright flowery goodness before we surrender to our Pumpkin Spice overlords.

One of the most beautiful wreath cakes I've ever seen - and that's all buttercream! Can you believe it?
These pinks and greens are perfectly Spring-y:
;)
And this mint-and-yellow combo is the cheeriest of them all:
;)
Need to battle the impending Winter blues? Then how about a giant bouquet of pretty-in-pink tulips?

Then again, sometimes the blues aren't so bad.
Especially if they're in the form of hand painted pansies:

Digging those papery ruffles on the bottom tiers, too!
I may not be ready for Fall, but orange is still always my favorite:
;)
(By Candelle Pasteleria Boutique)
And this combination of hand painted stems with 3D flowers is perfect. PERFECT, I say!
Ruffles and orchids and gold, oh my!
;)

I just want to hug that bottom tier. Is that wrong?
Oooh, now here's an amazing design:

I can't decide which I like more: that dramatic flower topper or the fun beaded ombré underneath!
(That billowing on the bottom isn't too shabby, either.)
Another dramatic topper, this time with a tropical hibiscus:

And that sweet swath of lace! Ah!
You'll be hard pressed to look at this next one and NOT smile:
;)
(By Fantasticakes)
It's those cheerful greens, right? And the bitty little bird?
And finally, a whole wagon load of summery, spring-y cheer:
;)

Just about Sweet enough to last us 'til Spring!
Happy Sunday, everyone!

I cannot decide which of these I like better. Always love Sundays on CakeWrecks.
I keep going back to the first cake, it's so beautiful & buttercream. Cake 5 looks like a bit of the ruffles is falling, just like paper. Honestly, how could anyone cut into them, let alone eat it.
Sunday Sweets makes my day again. X
Yay, a buttercream one! Thanks for posting all these lovely flower cakes!
Hibiscus cake is best cake. Other than the Mardi Gras looking one.
Monday thru Friday we laugh out loud and snark-remark onthe wreckage. Sunday? Speechless from awe and wonder. Thank you, Jen.
All these cakes are gorgeous, especially the dramatic purple flower one. If the ombré beads were M&Ms, it would be perfect for me.
I will admit, this site is the #1 reason for my "I just want to elope and no need for a ceremony" and "I need ALL THE CAKES" see-sawing when it comes to my eventual wedding. I see the "what they ordered/what they got" and I'm all "That's a giant pile of nope sitting on a nope platter surrounded by table of nope." Then I see the Sunday Sweets and I'm "I must have this. And that. And this. And surely *my* cake would look this pretty, right?"
I've already told the boyfriend that I'm using YOUR list of bakers featured in the Sunday Sweets as a starting point for which ones to go to when it comes time to start looking. :-)
What a list of loveliness! so many pretty posies! I can hardly pick a favorite (tho I confess leaning toward anything with lovely shades of pink and green).
May have to bookmark this page and hang on to these to remind me that spring WILL eventually come again as we start our prep for the long winter here in MN.
Kudos to the bakers who made today's Sunday Sweets (and of course, Jen) possible.
I'm completely in love with the pink tulip cake!!! And I'm not even usually a big fan of pink. Just gorgeous!
The one with the blue-tit (don't worry - it's the species of bird) and the black ribbon is lovely! And don't worry about fall/autumn... down here in the southern hemisphere it's just coming into spring, so if you need an excuse for flowery cakes when you're shivering in mid-winter just do a cake wreck column for us down under :)
I love the blue buttercream wreath!
Thanks for the lovely spring reminder. These are all gorgeous, but I'm partial to that buttercream! Amazing! (Pumpkin spice overlords made me giggle!)
The buttercream cake #1 is A-mazing. The bakers I spoke with when planning my daughter's wedding all said that you couldn't do detail work with buttercream. Fail! I can't imagine how much the tulip cake (#4) cost. The size of that bouquet is mind-boggling, and the work is exquisite. Sigh.
Cake #10, with three big flowers and trailing ivy is my favorite. Everything is so realistic and while it features pretty blowsy flora, it's really quite elegant and restrained. I just love it! Thanks, Jen.
P.S. Jen, would it be possible to number the cakes for reference purposes, at least on Sunday Sweets, if not every day posts? It would be so much easier to comment on specific cakes without getting mixed up.
Why wouldn't you do Spring cakes given its the start of Spring right now?
The wheelbarrow is incredible! Such detail and such beautiful flowers. They look so real yet are all sugar craft, wow!
I love these buttercream flowers cakes! But just one thing... It can't be very nice to eat that much loaded on buttercream??
Keep up the good work! Love your site! Inspires me to improve my skills as a decorator!
These gorgeous, springy-colored confections make me want to drag out my sewing machine, have it serviced and the dustbunnies evicted, so I can make clothing (like I used to)...just so I can WEAR THESE CAKES.
You know...without attracting ants.
