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:
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:
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!
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)
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:
You're welcome.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1426 Newer› Newest»AWWW!! They are all adorable...love the unicorn...and my godson would love the Kids zooborns book. And I'd love the other...so whichever is left!
Such amazing work!
Those baby cakes are too cute! I'd happily take either book, but I know my kids would like the first one the best. :) Thanks for sharing the cuteness in book and cake form!
I am now officially dying from cute. Seriously, I will be dead soon, & it will be your fault. Because of cute.
And I'll bet my 4-year old would like to join me in the cute-splosion with the 1st book...
I'd love the second Zooborns book! So awsum.
These are the cutest!! I think I'd choose the 2nd book as my son is so fond of aquatic animals.
I only had time to read through part of the comments (616!) and was expecting an Epcot day, but I didn't see anyone mentioning that Pandas eat bamboo and Koalas eat eucalyptus. Just FYI John.
If I get picked for a book, I like the second one. Cutiful cakes today guys.
~physicsmom
Oh those cakes are so cute. my favorite is the hippo! she's just so adorable!!
If I am lucky enough to win one of the books, I think I'd choose the first one, the cover is just perfect!
Thanks so much
~Jenny
Aww, this is totally worth delurking for. What adorable cakes! I especially like the dragon, but then, I have a soft spot for dragons. *G*
If I win, I'd love the second book "for everyone else," but I'd be happy with either, to tell the truth. ^_^
Even my son thought the cakes were cute. High praise from a nine-year-old boy.
Either book would be find. Pretty sure I know a school library who would love either one.
Those books are awesome! I would happily accept either of the incredadorabuhluffy offerings. :-D
The cakes are incredible too. I love and want them all!!!
--Julie Gartung
I'm ok with either book, so you can give the other winner their first choice. I will take the one they don't want.
I'd take any of these cakes and I love the first book!
Stacked pandas and Zooborn kids book for the win!
Awwww!!!! The cute factor is insane!!!! Love it!!
The kids would be happy with the first and I would be happy with the second so it's a win-win! (If I win...) teehee!
I love the hippo cake! My baby's favorite book is The Belly Button Book by Sandra Boynton, and she would love that cake! As for the books, it would be sooo cool if we won the 2nd book. We homeschool our kids, and my 10yo daughter loves animals. She says she wants to be a veter... vetra... vetera... someone who takes care of animals. How the heck do you spell that, anyway? Thanks for the sweet and precious eye candy! I wish I knew how to decorate cute cakes.
I would love to win one of the Zooborn books! So cute! I think the baby giraffe cake is my favorite, although it was a hard pick this week, they are ALL so sweet!
Great cakes! I'd love the first book for my sweet baby girl on the way! --Ryan
I would love either book. That sleeping baby dragon almost made me cry too! LOL! Cute, cute, cute!
I may go into cuteness overload with this post :)
I would have to choose the 2nd of the books as my son is extremely fond of aquatic animals
This post makes me want to puke rainbows! I love them all! I'd get any of those books, but definitely the second!
All super cute!
That sleeping baby dragon almost made me cry! LOL! I would love either book.
Ooh, so cute! I love the Cthulhu!
Love the first Zooborn book, with the tiger on the cover. :)
Okay, so the cakes were actually so cute that it hurt. Especially the 3 cuddly bears with cake on cake.
We would LOVE either of the Zooborn books! My daughter is an animal lover and she's love it. :) Thanks for the opportunity.
If I win, either book would be great. I prefer the first, but the 2nd is cute too.
Also, the panda is Tarepanda from Japan. He moves around by rolling. You can find him on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarepanda
I'd love the second book but really, I'd just like to win!
Stackable Pandas! Baby Cthulu! I'm overwhelmed by cuteness. Either Zooborn book would be lovely; we're big fans of cute animals AND cake around here.
My 2.5 year old saw the baby animal book and made grabby hands. While, at the same time, I was doing it mentally!
Cutest Cake Wrecks evah! I've got two little ones and they'd love that first Zooborns book! Too cute.
Such cute cakes! I'd love to win the kids book. My little ones both love animals!
Okay, so those cakes were cute enough to almost hurt! But the cuddly bears with cake on cake was: WOW! Extra adorable :)
We would LOVE either of the Zooborn books! My daughter is an animal lover and would be happy with either. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
I need cute critters in my life!! Hope I win the second ZooBorn book. :D
My 6-year-old daughter votes for the teddy bear cake and the unicorn cake--as well as the 2nd Zooborn book (although she'd take the 1st book too).
My 6-year-old son liked the dragon and panda cakes best, and also votes for the 2nd book (the "chi-wah-wah" book).
Thanks for the adorable sweets today!
--Twin mom in Bellevue
Must have...children's...book...gaaaah....
The first Zooborn book is adorable! I <3 that one.
Those are ALL adorable, but two take the cake... er... my favorites are that incredible tiger... and Chthulu, just because it is that awesome.
(My kids would prefer the kids book...)
These cakes are SO AWESOME! Cute cute cute cute cute. (And I like the children's book please pretty please)
The first cake reminds me of Precious Moments figurines!
I would say the second book, because it includes aquariums ... baby penguins, maybe?!
I definitely want the one for little kids, but it isn't going to be so cute in my house when my two little kids are fighting over it. Ha!
I just love, love baby animal cakes!
That second book would for sure be coffee table material at our house!
~Alesha
AWWWW. Look at those pandas! I Just want to hug them and kiss them and love them and squeeze them and just <3<3<3 them forever!!!
<3 And, if given the choice, I'd be glad to have the first book!
That first cake is AMAZING!!!!
Oh, I'd love these cakes! I'd like either of the books, but I do have an adorable 1 year old that would probably enjoy the first one!
Oh my goodness these are precious. I love the unicorn and the no neck giraffe. Just precious! =)
Hey there, I'm a grownup who likes cute! Please give me Zooborns.
I love these animal cakes and would love to have the second book. But either one would make my day!
I didn't know Pandas of any sort ate anything other than bamboo.... but i suppose that a Russian nesting panda COULD eat borscht and eucalyptus.
Baby animals always equal awwww. I would be tickled with either one. My daughter can look at pictures in the everyone else book too!
I LOVE the pandas! OMG pandas!
I like the first book ^_^
I like the baby animals book. My 3-year-old loves animals and has just learned to read so he would really enjoy it.
I would *love* the second book. Or, you know, the first one. Cute baby animal photos are my new form of therapy.
I would have to pick the second one. Mostly because I need to figure out what kind of animal is on the cover.
Cute dog? so-ugly-it's-cute bat? I would like to know, please. ;)
All those cakes were just spectacular, but the unicorn with the combover? Brilliantly made and superbly cute! Thank you for making my day :D
And if there's a chance that I might win one of those two books I'd love the second one - the Fennec fox pup reminds me sooo much of my chihuahua!
I totally understand the Lisa Frank comment. I loved them too. Nothing like a tiger with the cosmos spinning behind them. The adultish book is way cute. The baby one might come in handy though.
The second book is way cuter!
I love those fuzzy-looking teddy bears! And I want some Russian Nesting Pandas! And they're all so cute!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'd take either book. Baby animals are so WIN.
I love baby Cthulhu! And that tiger was amazing.
I'd love the second book, although both are adorable.
Those cakes are adorable!
My students would probably like the first book the most (it looks like it is easier to read).
We love the kids book! My kids love animal babies!
I prefer the second ZooBorn book... it looks like a chihuahua, but would a chihuahua be in a zoo?
That tiger cake is AMAZING! It looks more like a sculpture than a cake.
My baby girl would love kids book of Zoo babies!
Oh, the second book looks precious. And if you could throw in an adorable Cthulu cake, that'd be awesome. :-)
My little baby would *love* the first Zooborn book!
The dragon was my favorite! They were all so adorable it was nearly impossible to choose.
I would love that fist book for my baby! She would totally adore it!
A-freakin-dorbz!!
I would love either of the books! I bet my nieces and nephews would too! :D
The second book is adorable!!! Probably full with enough cuteness to perpetually "D'Awwww!"
OOOHHH pick me! pick me! The teddy bear one actually looks fuzzy. Amazing.
I like both of the zooborn books, either one would be good for me as I work in a daycare and the kids I work with would LOVE them!
wv: gamolog - he kept track of his score in his gamolog
I love them both, and since I have an 8 yr old daughter, plus I love cute things, either one would work out great for me! (Well, I have 2 boys too, but they aren't so much into cute as much anymore....pre-teens..go figure!)
LOL, and I have to say, even though I don't comment every day, it always makes me laugh to see your comment number skyrocket when you have giveaways!! Maybe I'm not as guilty since I'm a sometimes commenter?? ;)
as a first-time mom-to-be i would love to be able to share the kid version sometime with my little sea monkey after s/he makes his/her appearance
Love the Zooborns - their website is a great pick-me-up when work gets sucky. Not that I browse the internet at work. No, sir.
im definitely into that second book.. baby fox!
beautiful cakes! Either Zooborns book would be great - they are so cute! Amber M. L0vestruck04@yahoo.com
I think I like the Zooborns, but either is so cute! Baby aminals, eeeee!
I would love the little kid book... and so would my little kids :)
So hard to choose. I love the little tiger cake but the teddies and their little cake on a cake are sweet too. My grandkids would adore the first little ZooBorns book. I follow them on FB too. Who can resist such cuteness?
I want the one for the little kids!
the 2nd one!!!
John (and Jen) you are Hip. Oh yeah. Even I can BEARly stand it!! Love it! Love you guys! LOVE cake Wrecks!!
Either book - I am sure they are equally adorable!
Oh my! Those cakes are so cute my eyes hurt from holding back yelling "Squeeeeee!" because my baby is asleep.
...speaking of my baby, if I were so lucky as to win I'd really like the version for little tykes for him. ;)
If I win, give me whichever book the other person doesn't want.
Hmmm the secound book would be awesome! Need to battle college stress somehow!!
These really are almost too cute, but not so cute that I don't want one of those books! My kids would love to open up that first book on their third birthday, right after they eat the pink bulldozer cake I'll be commissioned to make. Boy-girl twins make for interesting requests....
i'd do either book. so here: comment.
Either book would work in my 5th grade classroom. I would prefer the second book. Fishy babies all the way!
These cakes are adorable and so are the books! And so are your segues:)
I would love the second book if I should be so lucky. I know I won't be, but they're still cute.
Love the pandas! And the baby animals book for kids. I have a nine month old who adores animals.
That second book is so cute, just like all the cakes!
I have nothing constructive to say, but I really would like to win either of the Zooborns books. =)
Awwwww, so cute! I love all of these cakes. :)
I would not mind receiving that second book at all. It seems so full of cuteness that I might get cavities :3
I LOVEEE the pandas! I want a replica that I can display in my apartment!
I'd looooove the second book! :)
the one 'for everone else' please :)
I'd love the sweet baby animals please!!!
Those cakes are too cute! I would love the Zooborn book! That tiger is adorable.
Love the triple stack of pan(da)cakes!
I'd be happy with either book, e.s.p.e.c.i.a.l.l.y. if it was signed. ;) Thanks! ~ Brooke
I can't decide whether I love the Chthulu cake or the Russian pandas!!
I would love the second Zooborns book!
the one 'for everyone else' please :)
So STINKIN' cute! The cakes AND the books. I'd be thrilled with either book. Thanks. And, I know you get this all the time but, CW is my daily laugh. Thumbs up.
Tanja
I'd prefer the kid's book but both are adorable!!
awwww
OK, I just want to say that I WANT that Panda Cake! Was that the best, or what? Is it OK that I want it for my 50th birthday? Is it OK that I want my daughters to have children NOW so I can get this cake? (Oh, I got carried away there, my kids are 19 & 22, too young to have grandbabies for me to give cake to.)
OhMycuteness.. the panda cake was my favorite- although they are ALL drippy with syrypy sweet cuteness..... seriously. too cute!
i <3 Sunday Sweets :)
my boys would LOVE the zooborns books!
my little monkey's first birthday is in two weeks, I know she'd love the kiddie ZooBorn! :)
I am trying to figure out if I can change her entire party theme to fit in those pandas...
This week's cakes are the best! I've always loved the Sunday Sweets, but today's I hold a special love for. I'm actually in school right now majoring in Zoology with plans to work with African hoofstock one day (giraffes, zebras, antelope... although if it was at all possible, I'd specialize in dragons and unicorns in a heartbeat!).
I would love either one of these books! I'm also majoring in elementary education, so the first book would be wonderful for my students, but if I had to choose I would pick the second one because I'll work in a zoo one day. :) Thank you so much!
(P.S. You two are awesome! <3)
They are both such cute books, so I know my kids would love either one. I love all the cakes today. I just came back from a baby shower, and while that cake was yummy and not wrecky at all, it wasn't as absolutely adorable as these.
Definitely the top zooborns: my daughter will love it and so will the other kids in her class!
Best cakes ever! : ) I'd like either book but would pick the big kids book first.
karlatrx AT gmail DOT com
Oh my goodness these are all just too cute. The baby cluthu cake is my fave!
Hmn, I think I like the second book with the baby fennec fox on the cover the best. My teeth hurt looking at it!
I don't usually comment, but today I felt the need. Chthulu is really NOT supposed to be cute!
I was Baby Cthulu for Halloween last year! I want that cake, or the skills to produce one... also, I'd be thrilled to win either book
They're so CUTE and CUDDLY I can't stand it! My kids now want cake but only cute giraffe cake!
We would love either book!
Awww...I'd love either book, though
All of them are so cute!
The second book.
Um, either, duh. Who doesn't love baby animals? Not this girl.
I'd like a chance to win the first book (kids'), please.
MY favourite cakes are the first and last, though all of them are SO sweet!
As for the books, I am sure they are both delightful, though I like the photo on the first one best!
tigers and zebras and giraffes oh my! these are just about the cutest cutie cute itty bitty ickle amazing squee-worthy cakes i have ever seen! and those bears! they look so fluffy! "it's so fluffy i'm gonna dieeee" omg omg omg omg omg *passes out from adorables*
also. that book. the one for grown-ups. it would look wonderful on my coffee table. just sayin.
I like the second book.
The second one looks pretty spectacular to me :)
Awwwww, I love the Chthulu cake so much! Squeeeee! Also, I would want the first ZooBorns book, but I would also take the second. Such cuteness!
I would love the first book, my 6 month old is starting to love books like that now!
I love the adorable tiger on the second cake! So cute!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! these were so. stinkin'. cute!!!!!! i would LOVE to win the second book, so please please pleeeeeeeease pick me!! :D
Sooo cure!!! I am soon to be a grandmother (takes some getting used to), so either book would be great!
These just bring to mind the quote from Despicable Me that my kids can't seem to get enough of: "He's so fluffy I'm gonna DIE!!!"
Either book would be a treat for my three little sweeties!
Sandy says either book would appeal to my grandsons who are 6 & 3. Love this site.
I would like the first book.
Cute overload! Love it.
This post was so full of cuteness that I almost, -almost- want a kid just so I can get them ridiculously cute cakes like that. Maybe I'll just have to convince my siblings to give me a niece.
I love both books!
cute books!! daughter's 10th is coming up and she'd be so stoked!
presh! great gift for my daughter's 10th!
I'd love the ZooBorn book for babies. My first grandchild will be arriving sometime in the next 2 weeks. Perfect timing.
WV: agivent: Agivent the number of comments, these books seem to be popular.
I love the sweet cakes, the "Russian Pandas" are way too cute. And I would love either book!
Kimberly Cook
comb-overed unicorn!? END ALL BE ALL AMAZING!!!!!!
-Nicoletta
great gift for my daughter's 10th!
OHHH, THE PANDA'S! The cuteness...it's over powering! I can't take it!
great gift for my daughter's 10th!
Love these cakes, the unicorn cupcake one was adorable.
I'd prefer the second Zooborn book pictured. :)
The first one is kinda so cute ! But the second one got me intrigued too. ;)
Love your website. I'm usually in tears from laughing so hard. But I have to say I think the Teddy Bear cake on today's post is absolutely adorable. I'd love to give the first ZooBorn book to my new granddaughter.
I'd love the first Zooborn book. I totally squee'd over all those cakes!
My baby girl would love to add the book for younger readers to her growing library!
I'd take either. Baby animals! Squee!
Those books are so cute. They'd be perfect for my little one, due in June.
I LOVE the nesting pandas! SO cute! I know that my kids would love the first book! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
I want both, they are so cute! My kids would probably like the first one though. You guys rock, thanks for having such great sites.
Oh my goodness this was sooooooo stinkin' cute!!! The hippo, the giraffe, the...CUTE!!! I definitely made a shirt with a fennec fox on it during elementary school! (I'm in high school now...yes, I still wear it to bed...yes, it's still a little too big.)
So yeah, I would prefer the one with the fennec fox. And yeah, I know I'm judging it by it's cover.
I'd like the first book and the blue dragon cake, please! The adorableness is overwhelming!
I'll take the first book and the blue dragon cake, please! The adorableness is almost overwhelming.
I'm a big fan of the second book. Little animals in an adorable package? Fantastic.
I would like the second book. I would also like a chthulu cake, but we can't get everything. :)
So cute! I LOVED the baby Chthulu! And that dragon! :D
Hmm... if I were to get one of those books I'd go with the first one. :3
I love both. I love books! And the cakes are adorable! HELLO!
Had me sold with the first cake and all the creative word play, but I love them all- the cakes, humorous word play and the books!
OMG CUTE CUTE CUTE! I want the dragon!
And the second book would be ok too.
Those cakes are SO cute! I love them all, but I think my favourite is the teddy bear cake. So much wonderful detail! My kids have voted, and if we are one of the lucky winners, they would like the fox book (of course, we'd be thrilled to win either!)
I love both Zooborn books, but if I was forced into a cute baby animal corner (what? that sounds amazing), I would pick the second. Thanks for the animal cakes today!
Love the baby chthulu and the unicorn with the combover! (and I'd love the first zooborn book!)
The baby fox on the second book is gonna fall over his ears are so big, and cute.
I would try the 123 Cheddar Broccoli Casserole
The cute...I cannot choose. Ugh! I guess, the second book? But really, send me anything.
i would love to have the kids book for my godson!
My husband is a jr. high science teacher and often shows his classes ZooBorns. Either would book would be a great addition to his classroom library! --Sumiko
Daww! These are so cute! Overwhelmed by it. Especially the dragon and Cthulu.
Would *love* the second book.
Aww, how cute! Loving the pandas, like those russian dolls!
Yeah, these are too cute! Keep the puns coming.
Yeah, these are too cute! Keep the puns coming.
That sleeping dragon is soo sweet! But I have to say I am blown away with the teddy bears! How did they get the fur to work?
I have a grandson who would love the Zooborn book!! Pick me, pick me!
I'd love either, but especially the one for kids. Those animal cakes are precious!
Kim
Adorable books, I'd love either one!
I would be thrilled to give one of those books a home!
Sooooo cute!!! I love the Teddy Bear cake. Miniature cake on cake is adorable!
Shari G.
THE HIPPO! OMG! The adorableness is going to make me squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Holy cow, but that neckless giraffe is insanely cute. I love the second book, btw. :) And I love your site.
Beautiful Cakes. My kids would love a Zooborn book.
Julia
Those are some seriously cute cakes! And we'd love either book.
My daughter's favorite website is Zooborns! She's five and would so love the book for kids. (Yay! Two of our fave sites got together! Lovin it!)
I have a home daycare and my group would love the first book! :)
Zooborns! So stinkin' cute.
They are both precious and my daughter would love either one!
My kids and i would love either book! If I HAVE to choose, I'd pick the second one.
Melissa J
LOVE the pandas!!! And I'd also love the kids book. =)
The hippo is my favorite.
I and (my 2 year old) would love the first book!
Awww!!! My little geeklings need that Zoo Borns baby animals book!!!
Love the baby animal cakes, wish I'd had them before I made my giraffe cake for my son's first birthday last week.
Those cakes are awesome! I think the dragon one is my very favorite. And the 2nd book probably would prolly be the one I'd choose. :)
I'm a cute baby animal Ho - I'll take either.
Lara K.
PS - I can NEVER get my acct. IDs to work properly on here. : \
The first one is great-- my kids would love it. My pregnant hormonal mood swings might make it impossible for me to look at the pictures without crying, but that probably isn't such a bad thing.
I definitely get the fear vibe from the second cake. :) I would be up there with the monkey and giraffe, if a tiger with that much ferocity stalked the lower tiers of my cake!
The book with the fennec fox is so cute! It reminds me of when my Papillon was a puppy!
OHHH! The first one matches my youngest daughter's bedroom....I LOVE it! so adorable.
I had to look up what a chthulu was...I thought maybe it was a creature from Star Wars.
My fav is the three teddy bear cake, with the pretty pink roses and the a-door-bell mini cake on a cake!
I like the second book!
As painful as the choice is, I'd have to choose the one for kids - because the kids would enjoy it as much as I would. Besides .. just because it's for kids doesn't mean us "mature" adults wouldn't enjoy it!
I would love to win either of the books; don't care which. :)
Oh my gosh! I love Zooborns and would take either book.
The panda reminds me of an anime whose name I can't remember right now. Paranoia Agent? The little dog in that.
I would adore either book! If you have to decide for me, please use a coin toss -- heads for the first one, tails for the second.
my favorite book is the second one. We have the first and love it
Awwww the baby giraffe cake is SO adorable!!! The second book would definitely put me in a much needed cute coma for a few days!! :-)
