Sunday Sweets: So Stinkin' Cute

Sunday, January 30, 2011

This week we're featuring some of the sweetest, cutest, most adorable, lovable, um... [consulting thesaurus] darling, bewitching, and fetching baby animal cakes you ever will see. Why? Well, if you must know, I'm feeling a bit sensitive this week.

This is john, by the way.

So, let me just get my box of tissues and we'll do this thing. Starting with Jen's favorite:


Found at the 2008 Orlando ICES Convention; baker unknown.

The hand-painted shading here is amazing. And the animals are adorable. And the lion isn't eating the zebra or the giraffe. So it's a win-win-win.


This cake is slightly more realistic:

Sub'd by Hilda F., and made by The Sweetest Thing Cake Studio

See how the monkey and giraffe cower in fear as the mighty tiger stalks his prey? Can you feel the tension? Can. You. FEEL IT?!?! No?

Maybe it's just me.


And now... sweet sleeping dragon!

Sub'd by Amelie B. and made by her sister Helene

Awwww. Okay. *sniff* I'm all verklempt. *sniff* I promised myself I wouldn't cry...

[blowing nose]

Hey! Look! Pandas!

Sub'd by Aljona and made by KralleCakes

And not just any pandas; these are the rare Russian Nesting Pandas. The mostly eat eucalyptus leaves and borscht.


Preeeesenting, the sweetest giraffe ever!


Literally. I think the lack of neck really adds to the adorabletude, don't you?


And because I have an inordinate affection for tigers:

Sub'd by Jade D. and made by Theresa Gue

So. Cool. Jen says this reminds her of some Lisa Frank folders she had in middle school. Which she claims is a huge compliment. So there.


And you know what else has stripes? (I am the king of segues)

Sub'd by Brenda B., and made by Lilo Taart

I'm digging the bow and the vintage 20's hair part. Just dandy!


And speaking of bows. (I'm on a roll!)

By Aletha B.

Baby Cthulhu!! AAAAAUUUGGHH!! SOOO CUUUUTE!!

And get this: this is Aletha B.'s first cake. Yes, really! Mike, Duff, and Bronwen better watch out, 'cuz Aletha B.'s coming, and she's got a Cthulhu.


And speaking of... cake. (Okay, that one wasn't my best work.)

By Ann N.

Adorable. And hip. Oh. Yeah.



Another of Jen's favorites:

Sub'd by Orna G., and made by Odelia

Hand-painted rosebuds, cuddly teddy bears, and a miniature cake on cake? I can bearly stand it!


And finally, for your viewing pleasure, allow me to present...

a unicorn with a comb-over:

Sub'd by Elizabeth A., and made by Sachi Swick

You're welcome.


Now, who wants to WIN SOME FREE BOOKS?!? Huh? Awwwww yeeeeeeaaah.

I'd like the second book, but I would take either one! ADORABLE.

Super duper cuteness for Sunday morning. I would want the second book.
Karlee

Katy said...

I <3 that giraffe cake!! And I would really <3 to have that first book... I think my daughter would enjoy seeing all the baby animals!

Dakota said...

Awwww my gosh! The cuteness!

Also, the second book looks like it'd be great for painting inspirations. ;)

Bonnie said...

I love the cakes, they are so cute! I love both books. I love babies of all kinds.
Bonnie

Jill Dater said...

The first book. And I LOVE both the unicorn and the sleeping dragon. SO cute!

NotYourEvilLunchLady said...

This is definitely what I needed to make my cranky day better. I absolutely loveeeee the little 3D giraffe cake. :) I love both of the Zooborn books. I'm a student, who works as a librarian in college, that would make the kids smile even more. Baby animals always make the day better.

ha. Librarian and student by day, pastry chef by night. Couldn't get any better!

Sophie said...

oh, we would prefer the second book!
But only because we can't have a cthulu cake and are sulking.

Anonymous said...

Our little Gavin kept running over to look at the book covers, pointing at the baby tiger, and saying (as loud as humanly possibly), "Moooooooowwwwwwwwww!" So I guess our vote will have to be the first one. :D

~Amber B, Oregon

Amy Brooks said...

The second book for people who like cute stuff is for me.
Baby Chthulu...@_@

Jen said...

This is such an adorable post, and on my birthday, at that. What a lovely birthday present. :)

I'll throw caution to the wind: the second Zooborn book catches my eye. Of course, I think I would die from the cuteness, which isn't really a bad way to go.

-JLS

Unknown said...

i like the 2nd zooborn cute, great post today!

KearaS said...

My 2 year old loves animals so i would have to go for the kids book. So cute! Almost as cute as the cakes!

Anna Louise said...

The pandas are adorable! My kid sister loves them.

She also loves baby animals...so she'd love to win a book!

babyblue1217 said...

What I think is cute beyond cute are baby animals with just the *tip* of their tongue sticking out of their mouth!

Cheressa said...

First of all, the stacked pandas cake? SO FLIPPING CUTE!!! Now, about the free books...;) I would absolutely love the 2nd book...If ya could. =)

Rachel said...

Baby Chthulu for the win! Aletha B. has a definite future in sugar-art.

I like both books and would happily squee over the adorableness of either one.

The texture on those teddy bears, btw-- AMAZING. My piping hand cramps just thinking about it!

Brigette said...

The baby Chthulu is The. Cutest. EVER. What a fantastic job!!!

Would love to win either book!

nafreelove said...

The adult one please :D

et said...

Either book - I work for an infant program for children with developmental delays, so would be donating either to the program library.

Unknown said...

I'd love the 2nd book! I'm a high school Biology teacher and I know the kids would get a kick out of all the cute pictures!

Donelda said...

Both books and the cakes are really adorable. I would chose the second book.

Toys in said...

I like the second book.

Kathy

~Jan said...

I'd take either of the Zooborn books, but that tiger one is pretty darn cute.

Unknown said...

Wooszer! Went to a baby shower yesterday but no cake was as cute as what you showed. I loved the teddies but the pandas looked like they might have been squished!
I would be honored if I won and got the second book!!

Sarah said...

My daughter (who is 10) loved the giraffe cake!! Adorable! And if I happen to win, I'd like the grown-up book, please. :)

Andrea said...

The second book looks awesome, but I would be thrilled with either one. Love this blog!

For the Love of French said...

Both of them look cute, but I would have to say that I would like Zooborns, not the one with the exclamation point.

sproutsandsweetpeas said...

Ahhhh, so cute! I just love the dragon I want to curl up with it! I do have kids, but either would be great! (cute overload!!!!!"It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!")

Alynda said...

Squee! There is a part of my that wants a Fennec Fox as a pet..but on a box would be a lovely 2nd choice. Thanks for the opportunity. And all the cake!

Heather T said...

the cover on the first zooborn book is toooooo cute! but since everybody else is asking for it, I'll ask for the second one because it is sure to have just as many cuties on the inside!

Jessica said...

I would love the second book.
Or the baby chthulu cake. which i really thought was awesomely adorable until i scrolled down a little more and saw the extra tentacles around the bottom border of the cake. oh man. cute overload explosion!

Unknown said...

These are beyond adorable! I'd like the first book; my niece would LOVE it.

Library Bookwyrm said...

Baby Chthulu!!! Awwww...how cute is that??

And I would LOVE that first book for my kiddos!

Anonymous said...

::sniff::

::wipes tear::

I was holdin' it together until that #$%!* fluffy pink teddy bear!

Dang it.

Okay, so EITHER book would reduce me to a puddle of goo, so...surprise me.

Kayleigh said...

The first book looks awesome (plus I have a young niece, so that would work).

I love that giraffe cake. Just too cute.

Unknown said...

OHH EMM GEEE Unicorn with a combover! loooooove

Amélie said...

So pretty, adorable cakes today!
The "everyone else" would be my pick, if I get to win this one :)

crownring said...

Tigers, dragons, chthulus, and giraffes, OH MY!

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

ZooBorn, if you please! :D

A day without Cake Wrecks is a day without laughter. Not to be borne!

Krystal said...

I'd love either one, I think my son would love looking at the animals in both, but I'd want the first book since he's still a little guy.

Gina F. Fonner said...

My daughter would love the first one!

Aliza said...

Nothing like a contest to get all the (normally silent) lurkers to come out of the woodwork!

I do hope that the reason you're feeling sensitive this week is a GOOD one. Because the rest of us, if we're feeling low, can come to Cake Wrecks for a much-needed (and appreciated) giggle, but... what would you guys do?!

And now to comment on the cakes.

#1 is seriously cute. As in how-do-you-cut-into-it cute! I've never seen a blue lion or zebra, but when they're that cute, who cares about accuracy?

#2 If those are marzipan critters... yum! Like the monkey's banana. And this is a perfect example of a suitable baby shower cake. No actual BABIES to cut into (the animals are more stuffed-animal style rather than actual-animal like).

#3 Dragons, snails, bumble bees, lady bugs, roses and toadstools.... soooo cute. (Although the M-F CW fan in me is wondering if the dragon's sleeping because of one of those fungi!)

#4 Ooo, if you like that one, then I do have a cake photo to send in to you! That was a very nice abstract panda cake, and loved your comment about nesting pandas! Although... you do realize that koalas eat eucalyptus leaves and pandas eat bamboo? Love the idea about them eating borsht though. (yummm... borsht.... I need to buy some beets and make some!)

#5 Cute giraffe... and yup, further proof that if you do it toy-cute enough, nobody's going to quibble on the biological accuracy.

#6 Wow, that cake looks so realistic! Such a cute tiger! But with an alert adorable expression like that, I'd hate to cut into it. I like the cartoon style critters better...

#7 Tee hee, what a cute zebra! See, here's a perfect cartoon style cake

#8 Aletha, that's awesome-- you definitely have a good baking/decorating future-- Sunday Sweets all the way, never a Wreck in sight! Soooo cute. I would never ever EVER have expected a chthulu being a candidate for cuteness or cake, but this proves I was wrong

#9 This would make an awesome stuffed animal!!! That hippo is adorable

#10 Nice pun. Love the fur-- beautifully done in a cake-appropriate way (unlike some wrecks we've seen here). Interesting that the cake inscription is in English, while the baker's logo is Hebrew (loosely translates as 'Odelia: Ephemeral cakes created'. I think; my Hebrew's not that great). PS I went to her website (www.odelia.co.il/) to check my translation, but it's all in Hebrew... however LOTS of seriously cute cakes there

#11 A hippo-corn with cupcakes on a cake--seriously cute. And I bet all the fondant haters must thrilled with the frosting-ed cupcakes as an option!

Darcy said...

Aww, I want the first zooborn book for my daughter... and any of those cakes for her first birthday!!

Julie P said...

OMG those cakes are too cute!! Also I'd love the second book!

Amy said...

My Daughter would love the first book, but either would be fun!

Thanks for all the work, this site always makes my day!

Carrie said...

The zebra cake is so cute. I would love the first Zooborn -for kids. I'd give it to my 8 yo niece who wants to be a veterinarian!

maryquitecontrary said...

Considering I spent the best part of my christmas holidays on all fours playing at (fiercely growling, prowling) tigers and lions with my little nephews, I think they would love the first book! IF...they'd get a look at it 'cause chances are I wouldn't be able to part with it...

Karen Chartier said...

So much sweet cakey cuteness! Love both books~for me or the kids!

Cinethia said...

I think the second book would be cuteness overload!!
Love all your descriptions about the cakes too!! LOVE that DRAGON!!

faith said...

I hope non-US-resident-followers can win too. :p Because I want that second book! :D

Pinkbubble said...

Aww! I love baby animal cakes!

I would like the second Zooborn book.

Anonymous said...

I'm so incredibly surprised there's not an epcot of "Pandas eat bamboo, not eucalyptus!" that the Zooborn books have become secondary. But they're so precious, both of them. My kids would love them. (I'm partial to the second one myself.)

Also, baby Chthulu!!!

Stephanie Kotkin said...

ZOMG! I love the tiger and baby cthulhu cakes! I would also love looking through the Zooborns book with the tiger on it. So cute.

William and Janelle Constanza said...

I think we'd like the second one, but both look so cute. My daughter loves baby animals (but who doesn't??)

lauren said...

omg i'm obsessed with zooborns! i'm really into the adult one, so yeah.

also, puffy panda cake is the cutest fo sho.

funnyliberal said...

So cute! I'd like the second book.

I'd love the zooborn book!
Thanks

funnyliberal said...

So cute! I'd like the second book!

Melody said...

I love Cuteness!! Either would be great. P.S. Those teddy bears were so cute . . . I teared up a bit.

Isabeau said...

My daughter would love the kid's book. There's so many impressive and well done cakes today. Great job and thank you!

Queen Christine said...

Would love either one, if I had to choose, the first one is probably more appropriate to my one-year old ;)

Joy said...

The Zoo Borns. As my daughter said, "Tiger kitty!"
I think my favorite cake was the baby Cthulu. Awww...

Jenny Zed said...

SO FREAKIN' CUTE! I really love the Sunday Sweets, and today did not disappoint at all! I want all of those cakes. Maybe for the next 8 birthdays or something.

(I'd prefer the second adorable-baby-'nanimal book) :D

-Amanda Z (From Canada!)

Huskymom said...

Well, my wv is "frist", so I think that's a hint to request the "first" book, please. My friend's daughter will love it!! (These cakes are too pretty for messy eaters, aka kids--I want the teddies with the sweet mini cake for ME!)

Bubbles said...

FENNIC. *ahem* I mean. FENNIC. WITH THE EARS. ... I would very much like that one please. EARS.
Also, one baby Chthulu cake. Because that is amazing.

KB said...

Going ... into ... sugar ... coma... So much sweetness! I would prefer the 2nd book. :) Thank you

Anonymous said...

Oh, I would love BOTH books! But since my kids are getting better at reading, I'd better go with the one for grownups. My daughter and I are both such suckers for baby animals.

Morgan said...

Ahhh I love Zooborns! They led me to this site actually.
And I want a fennec fox friend more than life itself.
Just look at those epic ears.
:o)

Lola said...

I love the second book! And the unicorn cake made even my "I don't like cute things" boyfriend go "aww". He's a softie on the inside, just doesn't show it.

Unknown said...

Awwr, cute. n.n

I love fennecs, so probably the first book, but wouldn't complain about either. :)

Jessica said...

The little kid version is perfect for my kids now, but the other one would be great for my kids in a couple of years. Can't go wrong! :)

Wendy S said...

I love the kids one!!
Wendy

Balgram said...

D'awww, these cakes are so adorable...I've been offline for quite some time and this is a refreshing day to come back! Gotta love the baby animals on cakes!
(And, on random chance, that second book looks cute)

Tricia said...

Okay...forget the books! I want the baby animals!!! Seriously, i'm not weird.

Either book would be delightful...and thank you!!

Terri said...

So much cuteness! And ooh, I didn't even know that Zooborns had a book out -- clearly my life has been lacking seriously in cute this past week. I'd love second book and it's going on my amazon wish list right now, but I'm still hoping to win a free copy. :)

Jessie said...

I love stuffed animals, so I agree with Jen's favorite cake. I just want to SQUISH it! And POKE it! Real animals are pretty fantastic too, so bring on book two!

Sarah said...

That second cake is precious, I might have to re-create it for my son's first birthday!

Nerwen Aldarion said...

Awwww I'd want the second Zooborn book!!

I think my favorite cake though is the dragon one!

Rachel said...

If I win, I would love the adult Zooborn book. I LOVE Zooborns!

Linda said...

I think my favorite cake was the teddy bear one, but it is hard to decide. (I would love either book by the way!)

Tammy said...

I would LOVE the second one. SOOO cute!
-Tammy from AverageMom

Julianna said...

All those cakes are adorable, but that baby Chthulu one is just... I can't think of a cute enough word! As for the books, I'd prefer the second one if chosen.

Kara said...

The cakes are so adorable! I would love the first book. My nieces and nephew would be thrilled!

Kim said...

My 10 year old daughter loves unicorns, and when I showed her the pic, she said (very loudly, in my ear) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (If you pick us, we'd like the first zooborn book)

daderain said...

id take either one! :) Brandi M

Margot said...

The unicorn... oh my gosh I don't even have a word cute enough! I would love either book but my son would like the first one.

Hannah said...

I want whichever one has more pictures in it, I assume the big-kids' version. But hey, I wouldn't turn down any free baby animal book if someone was willing to send me one.

MasterpieceLost said...

I'd like the second, non-child oriented book :) by the way, the tiger cake was awesome. makes me want to spend time at a tiger reserve again.

MamaX5 said...

Either one looks really fun, but I'll go for the one for "everyone else".

Buttersketch said...

How sweet! I love the unicorn cake!

Would prefer the "everybody else" book.

A Paperback Writer said...

"eucalyptus leaves and borscht" Snort! Oh, that's funny!

Matroyshka pandas. giggle.

Jen said...

Yay for the Japanese pandas. I like the giraffe best, and I'm usually a big fan of unicorns, pandas, and tigers. :3

I also like the first zooborn book. Yay for adorable babies.

Andrea said...

Definitely the second. So cute!

Colleen said...

I am now filled with ideas and indecision for making my daughter's first birthday cake! Also, I would like either book, they both look adorable!

Piglet said...

I like both of the books, especially the second one! My twin is very into cute baby animals, and I frequently post links from your site onto her fb for her amusement. And these cakes are awesome! I wish my first cake would look that good! Yay for cute, edible baby animals! :)

nausikaa said...

Awwwww baby Chthulu.

I would be thrilled to win either book, as both my 3yo and her mama love us some cute.

Jayme said...

My 3 year old would LOVE that first book. He's fascinated with animals!

And that unicorn cake? A-dor-able.

Katie Row said...

squeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Marnie said...

The dragon, the giraffe, the hippo, the itty bitty cuddly unicorn... so much adorableness!
I love the Zooborns website! If I had the first baby Zooborn book I'd share it with my third grade class. They always appreciate cute baby animals with the appropriate response, "Awwwwwww!"

Shanamah said...

Aw! I'd love the first one for my kids. ;)

Annette (E) said...

I always look forward to Sunday Sweets and today's are just fabulous. I love the texture on the three little teddy bears!! And if I'm randomly chosen to receive a book I'll happy take either, I just love baby animals :)

Karen said...

Oh gosh! It would be so hard to choose! I like the first book, but I have a sweetspot for giant cats.

Marney said...

This entire post just made me go d'aww and made me want to cuddle the cakes which would probably not be the best idea...oh well.
I would love to receive the 2nd book.

Binah the Bold said...

I like the second ZooBorn book! :D

Jenika said...

THE PANDA CAKE. OH GOD. SO CUTE.

I'd want the first book. Baby animals!

SuperFoose said...

I like the second Zooborn book, the one with the Fennec fox. It's adorable!

I think that was the most adorable Cthulhu I've ever seen, bee-tee-dubs :)

Unknown said...

Oh those cakes are precious! Would love the ZooBorn for my littles.

Ruth H. said...

I love the kids' Zooborns book - and my 20 month old would go crazy for it! I am loving the baby dragon cake... and the Israeli one got my attention from the Hebrew writing...! Thank you for your daily done of fun!!

Jenika said...

THE PANDAS. SO CUTE.

I would want the first book. Baby animals!

Cheryl said...

I'm still recovering from the cute, so it's difficult to form words. Nice work John!
I'd love the first book, I'm going back to my first love, Preschool teaching, after being out of work for 6 months, and a brand new book would be a boon to bring to the new job.
Thanks CW for sharing the fun!

Vanessa U. said...

I'd love to have the first book for my little one!
Now I'm pondering a cute cake for her first birthday....

Robin @ Bird On A Cake said...

Loooooove those pandas! And all the other adorableness. :0)

We would love either of those books at our house!

Anita K. said...

I'd love either book, really; I've been drooling over them for months... but probably the adult one more. Loved the cutie-patootie cakes today!!!

Danielle B said...

The second Zooborn book! I'm a sucker for cute!

mandi said...

I like 'em both! Especially the first one.

Angie said...

The hip hippo is my FAVORITE. What a sweetie!! I love hippos.

And I'd be thrilled to have the book that the other winner doesn't want.

Mcarr31 said...

I want the unicorn and the hippo cakes, love 'em!
As for the books, either one would be fabulous and make my inner child squeel w/adorable animal joy!
~Mel MCR

Tracy said...

The children's book for sure!

And the cakes? BEYOND adorable!!!

Unknown said...

Love the pandas!
I like non-tiger-on-the-cover-book. Did I just create a new word?!

Rebekah said...

I'd love the book for everyone else! And every single one of those cakes!

Amanda KB said...

Oh that baby chthulu cake is awesome! The tentacles along the bottom finish it just so.

And if you chose my post for the book give-away I'd prefer (slightly) the "growed-up" edition. Happy Sunday!

Anonymous said...

Both look great, but I'd prefer the 2nd book ~ more pics!

musikartlvr said...

The 2nd book looks too cute, Id love that one!

Kathryn W. said...

As always, Sunday Best rocks. I couldn't even pick out a favorite, cause they're all that cute. But, those ears, those ears, gotta have those adorable ears on that second book.

Stephanie said...

I want the second book-it's so foxy! I also <3 the Cutethulu cake. -Stephanie

Kelley said...

Two granddaughters, the Zooborn book with the baby animals would be perfect!

Nadine said...

The baby Chthulu is just tooo cute! Seriously overdosing on cuteness!!! I would LOVE the second book!

CarrieM said...

First book, if you please!

Barbara said...

How cute. I love the teddy bears. As for the unicorn with the comb over I'm going with adorkable.

Unknown said...

THE PANDAS!!!! Nothing says 'cute' like squished, stacked pandas.

I like the second book! :) Thank you!

Lauren said...

I would love the kid's version to read to my son, ah it's cuteness overload! I did a lion cake for his first birthday, but it was nowhere near as awesome as these ones.

Tracy said...

i love zooborns!!! i'd love either book.

Anonymous said...

Awesome cakes - and the last one pictured is rarer than rare, it's an awesome CCC. (Well, it's a CCC in a way, isn't it?)

I hope I win the second book!
-- Gretchen

UlrikeDG said...

John = aDORKable!

Those books a pretty awesome, too. We got the kid one from the library earlier this month, so I'd love to win a copy of the other one.

anastassia said...

oh, my daughter would love the children's book. so cute.

marimonster said...

I want the Cthlulu cake! Cake that might eat YOUR FACE!!

Homebody said...

Thanks for offering these! I'd like the second Zooborn book, if I win, please!

Kate said...

Awww! My daughter would love the children's version to share with her preschool class. How cute.

Sarah Rose Evans said...

I like the baby animals zooborn book. Love the zebra!

Unknown said...

All the cakes are adorable, and both books look cute as a button, as well. Can't go wrong with either one!

Timmi said...

Honestly they are both so darn cute! I have a preference to the fox one though love the unicorn!

Hailey W. said...

I love the baby chthulu! My only problem with any of these cakes is, as much as I LOVE to eat cake...how do you cut into a baby panda?? Tell me!!!!

And both books are adorable, although I am partial to the cute little fox on the second one :)

Breezer said...

I'd love the book for kids--so would my daughter!!

Meghann said...

That dragon was awesome! I would really like the first zooborn book, I would love to show those cute little animals to my five month old baby girl!

Kai said...

Unicorns i love them,
Unicorns i love them,
Uni-Uni-Unicorns, i love them!

Both books look great, but I think #2 is a winner!

Bri said...

Both books look really good, and I'd be thrilled to receive either one. Perfect for teaching young children about different animals and what they look like. As for the cakes, the teddy bear one is simply amazing. The hair actually looks like hair.

Brittany said...

This is my absolute favorite post ever. I can't get over how cute everything is! Also, I'd probably die happy if I received either adorable book!! (The second is probably more age-appropriate though)

Michelle J. said...

I would love the second book, but I promise to let my kids look at it, too.

Jeanette said...

So. Adorable.

I love the Teddy Bear Cake!!

I think I'd like the second book.

Katie said...

I love the second Zoo book! And all of those cakes made me fall over in delight! Especially the giraffe.

Margaret said...

OMGoodness, I am overwhelmed by the cuteness! I love your website!

- Margaret
(I like the 2nd book - maybe I could make a cake with a chihuahua dog on it, that would be cute too!)

SDLantos said...

I love love love the cakes today...

Emma said...

Ohh that unicorn cake is divine! But the pandas! The first one! Cute overload.

I'd really love the second book, thank you!

Elizabeth said...

Too adorable! I'd love the second book.

Miss Hannah said...

My daughter has a stuffed giraffe like that neckless cake. She calls him Melman, and he goes everywhere with us.
As far as the giveaway goes, I have tiny humans, so I suppose the 1st book would be more appropriate, but really they both look so adorable that I don't know if I could choose!

tina said...

The first one

Gayle said...

Pardonn thw misspsellinngs - my headd exsploded frm cuuteness.

*AHEM* now down to business - adult book is preferable although either would be awesome, I'm sure.

Cena said...

As always the cakes are adorable, and really make me want to bake! Aaaaand I think I'd have to go with the first book as my nephew is a little cutey himself.

Missy said...

I would be fine with either book. My kids would love them, they have animals in them after all.

Melissa said...

Precious! (I do not have the gift of 'witty' so that's about all you can get from me!)

I like both books, but the 2nd book would be my choice, I believe.

omg the baby Ctuhulu!!!
I am in love with the second book and the little baby fennec fox from what I can see... :D

Oooh, I'd love the grownup book! I love the Zooborns website. So stinkin' cute!

Jonathan North said...

Well, I've never posted on here before, mainly because I just figured my praise of your site would be lost in a sea of similar posts, but I really do love your site. Back when I first discovered it, I kept clicking back to read older posts, and I eventually got to the beginning, so I've read the whole site. :) Anyway, I love that Zooborn site, though I don't read it every day, like I do yours, so I didn't even know they had come out with a book. I would love to own the second one. Keep up the great work on the site! It's hilarious!

I love these cakes! They are all adorable! I would love to win the ZooBorn books for kids. My kids would love it.

Michelle said...

The first book please!
The unicorn! The pandas! So much cute should come with a warning!

Tayia said...

I want the first ZooBorns book! I suppose I would let my son, Jasper, look at it too. Lol! Oh the cuteness! The dragon cake with the little toadstools? ADORABLE! So cute I could just eat it up! Haha!

Sw said...

I LOVE Zooborns' site!

I wish I had a child to pass the first onto, but I might die of happy if I received the second. Or that unicorn cake...

I'm a college student, and that adult ZooBorns book would do WONDERS for my friends and I during finals. Baby animals do a lot to take the edge off around here.

(My personal animal-happiness drug of choice is YouTube videos of a South American baby sloth orphanage. Not a zoo, but still... so slow, and yet so cute!)

Olivia said...

I have followed your blog for awhile (and regularly let friends know that I have found their perfect wedding/baby shower/birthday cake). I've never left a comment before, but I LOVE Sunday Sweets and I also love Zooborns! The second book would be fantastic. :o)

Viiriäinen said...

I guess my kids are old enough to prefer the second book - as would I :)

wv: hyons - adooooorable baby hyenas :)

Simone said...

Those cakes ALL made me say Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Especially the unicorn with a comb over.

I'd like the first book, no wait, the second! No, the first. On second thoughts, the second! No...

Aw heck, I'love 'em both

Sarah N. said...

I think there would be way to much cute for me to handle in the second book. My head might explode, but that's ok, it'll be worth it.

Those teddy bears actually look fuzzy - that's so cool!

If you force me to choose, I'd pick book 2.

OK, so Jon's commentary on the first cake reminded me of when my hubby and father-in-law were watching our boy when he was about three-ish. They set the boy in front of an educational nature program and forgot about him while they discussed manly, important things. Like infomercials. They were horrified to realize a short time later that the boy was watching a lion eat a zebra. Unfazed, my boy looked at his father and inquired, "Why does that zebra have jelly on him?"

Anyway, I believe one of those books will help heal his wounded psyche. :-P

Shannon said...

I have two kids who would looove that first book. I hope there's a baby Chthulu in it!

Maneki said...

Well, I turn 30 in November and already having my 30-year crisis. I've sworn I won't celebrate that horrible day! But if someone presented me with that utterly super-cute adorable dragon cake I'd reconsider.

Yooyah said...

"OH MY GOSH! Look at that fluffy unicorn!" Sorry....had to do it. :D I'd love the first book for my little sister.

Jessie said...

I love the last cake, and my daughter who always asks, "Mom can we look at cakes on the computer?" Would love the first book. She seems to think all the wrecky cakes are beautiful. I'm going to have to work on that before she turns into a professional wrekorator. Tomorrow is her fourth birthday so I think I've got some time!

I'd love either book! A highlight of my day is checking your blog--so nice to have the "cute factor" here today! Nice description of the unicorn--a total combover!

I love your site, it's hilarious, and the sunday sweets rock! These cakes were adorable, I love the first one especially- adorable baby animals, I could just eat them up! Wink wink. I'd love to get the kids book, my little girls love all things animal.

JennWasham said...

I would have so much fun reading the first book to my son! I know he would love all the baby animals just as much as he loved today's adorable cakes! I love Sunday Sweets!

Ms Kate said...

The Cthulhu cake is AWESOME! And the unicorn is the cutest thing ever!

I would totally love the second of the ZooBorns books!
