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.

Larissa said...

I like the second book!

Melissa said...

I love the dragon cake. I think my kids would like the first book.

Lilly W said...

I have never seen a Chthulu, but now I want one. I can keep him in the bathtub. True I wouldn't be able to shower or bathe, ok new plan... I can build a pool and keep him in that, but then he is outside and it has been cold.

I'll figure something out.

BTW Either book would rock.

Jenna W. said...

Those cakes are adorable! Even my husband said "Awwwww!"

I'd love to have one of those baby animals books! I think my 2 year old would like it.

Unknown said...

The second book is just adorable!

Mama Bear said...

amruidiaz said...

OMG SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!! -squeals-

I would die if I won the 2nd book with the fennec on it! sooo much cutenessss!

the Mayes family said...

Both books look great, but I have kiddos, so I'd love to have the first one. Awesome!

Amy said...

Never heard of a Chthulu but it is cute! (even though the tentacle things on the side creep me out a bit)

I like the zooborn book with the baby tiger on it!

ShinyGreenApple said...

I like the second book because it has an ickle Fennec on it! Also, I'm completely and totally in love with the dragon cake. LOVE.

- Grace

Julia said...

My life is complete I've seen a unicorn with a comb over. I love the Panda cake too! I would love to have the first book.

velocibadgergirl said...

Oh, man! Those cakes are fantastic. I'd love either book, but my first choice is the kid one :)

Sara said...

Oooh the second one! Oh, and that baby hippo cake is a the baby hippo from fluff friends on facebook. I am slightly ashamed that I know this.

Anonymous said...

I have a sweet little 6-year old monkey who would go bananas for the 1st book! :-)

~ Cynthia

WV: plests, as in, "I will be so plests if I win!"

Wendy L said...

I would gladly take either book!

Those baby animal cakes are precious!

Lauren S. said...

Ooh ooh!! I'd love the first book!
--Lauren S.

The second book looks positively darling.

(or to quote my Australian Capcha... It looks Bonsa )

Rachel said...

Just adorable, I really enjoyed this one, thank you! I never paid any attention to cake before, but I'm mesmerized by your blog. And my adorable girls would love the kid's book!

Jessica Ivy said...

I don't know what that animal is, but it is sooooooo adorable!!
-Jessicka

Julie said...

The baby white tiger is so cute! I'd have to go with the first book!

alli ryan said...

a unicorn. with a comb over! = quirky, awesome + adorable.

ps. i want either of those books :)

Sandi said...

First book, so cute.

AB2 said...

I would love the Zooborn book for my 3 year old... :-) The cakes are unbelievably cute!

Mak said...

My rugrats would LOVE either one of the Zooborn books- we're very into cute critters at our house!

sarah22277 said...

I like the baby Hip-hopopatamus.

-jrh said...

My 4 year old has "awwwed" and "squee-ed" over each of the baby animals on here. Which means, of course, we'd love to get our hands on the first Zoobabies book you mentioned.

Megan said...

My kindergartener would love to read the first one, especially if there are any baby foxes in it. (We told him a baby fox is a 'kit', and he looked sort of flummoxed.)

Lexie said...

Love the cakes and the books, especially the first!

Unknown said...

I'd love to have the second book!

sarah22277 said...

I don't know if my last comment worked. Oh, well, my kids would love the ZooBorns :)

Alan & Melissa said...

I love the sweet teddy bear cake with the little birthday cake. My kids would love the first ZooBorn book. Thanks for all you guys do!

Anonymous said...

Would be totally and completely happy with either one. Surprise me :)
Erin R

paige said...

Awwww... so cute! I like both books. :)

Anonymous said...

If I win....surprise me. They both look awesome!
Erin R

Melinda said...

Are those bears cake too? Wow. And I love the dragon too. And the second tiger. Not so keen on Sea World though. I'd rather take my kids, if I had them, to see whales in the wild instead of confined in tanks.

I wouldn't care which book, I'd love either one.

Haunted Mansion Geek said...

I'd love a copy of the second book shown! So cute!!!!

Mercy Langille said...

That first cake is too cute. My son is an animal lover and he'd go crazy for something like that.
And because my kids love animals so much, we'd like the first book, please.


wv: luvingly - All of todays cakes have been made so luvingly.

Alison said...

I'd like the first one!

Sharon said...

I love Cake Wrecks! I would love LOVE to win the first book. Or the second one. Either one actually. I am a sucker for baby animals and my kids are, too. :)

Bruce, Andrea, & Ashtyn said...

Adorable post, John! Thank you for braving the tears for us faithful followers! And I'm sure my daughter would flip out over the baby animal book!

Muria said...

There's a huge number of replies, already, but I'm sure the kids would like the first book, and I would like the second (though the baby white tiger on the first book IS appallingly cute)! Aletha needs to get into cake decorating. If my first cake had been anything near that awesome (for that matter, any of the subsequent ones), I definitely would have sent it to you!

Summerinx said...

I like the first book. :D

The dragon cake has to be my favourite. It's beautiful AND cute at the same time. Fantasy's my thing.

Julie P. (babyofmine) said...

Hi! Long-time reader, first-time commenter. :D
SQUEEEEEEEEE! Those pandas are going to be my new background!!! OMG, so cute!
If I win, I would love the 2nd book.
Thank you for having such a wonderful website! love you!

jebus llama said...

Squeee! Awww little baby animals! I'd really very much like the second book because its so friggin' cute and I never win anything. And also, the baby dragon cake is so beautiful! I wish my parents loved me enough to make me a cake like that!

~Jaclyn

Scraps said...

Awww I love cute baby animals!

And I would like an adult(?) ZooBorns book, if I win. :)

Em said...

I'd like the one with the baby tiger please :)

And the baby chtulu is soooo cute!

Matthew Demski said...

Love the blog, those cakes are so cute! ^_^

I'd prefer the second, 'everyone else', non-kids book!

Andrew and Monica Nelson said...

Now I am going to have to get my son a baby animals cake. They are adorable!

Rebecca W said...

I can't get over how sweet these all were! I have to admit though, my favourite was the giraffe! So cute!

I think I would have to go with the first book since I'm just starting out as a teacher!

Donna said...

*sigh* makes me wonder if I'd get strange looks asking for that adorable hippo cake for my 45th birthday! :)

(Either book is fine with me...I'm a big kid at heart and a sucker for any kind of baby animal!)

Kayley Maybe said...

I visit your website every day, and I would love one of the animal books for my little daughter (whose mother cheaped out and bought a grocery store cake for her 1st bday).

- Kelly

allybonky said...

I love the teddy bears. so cute!

Leah said...

I want the grown up zoo borns because I'm sick of my kid getting everything!

bridget said...

OMG! So squee-worthy! And both those books are on my wishlist. My daughter and I love to look at Zooborns together.

Alison said...

Oh, my, those are SO CUTE! All of them! Thank you thank you!

(And I like the baby tiger cover better, but either book would be fun...)

Minda said...

Absolutely adorable cakes!

I would looove the Zooborn book for the wee ones, with the goal of making "SQUEE" my baby niece's first word.

Caitlin Luccio said...

I really think my daughter would love the first book. You don't want to let her down do you?

nursemom said...

So cute! Gave me a great idea for my niece's birthday cake! Love the panda cake, simple and striking!

As for the book, dare I dream? The original would be sweet enough I wouldn't need Equal in my coffee!

Julie said...

Baby Chthulu! can't.stand.the.cuteness.

and a book of baby animals? ack!

aliceinwonderland14 said...

I LIKE BOTH BOOKS!!!! and all those cute baby animals...a unicorn and 3 cupcakes ON A CAKE is just TOO MUUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE. Love you guys and this awesome blog!!!!!

Margaretta F. said...

I love these -- and love your blog! My tween daughter and I send your posts to each other to amuse ourselves -- and Daddy wonders what we are laughing about!

If I win, I'd like the one for little kids, for my niece.

Thanks!

Amy said...

So cute! I would love the kids ZooBorns book for my son :)

Marie said...

I really like the second book! It is so cute and sweet I think my teeth are already hurting!

Colleen said...

I was going to comment, then saw that there were 1283 comments before mine and I chickened out. Then I thought better of it and decided to post anyway.

The first cake looks like the decorations that I got for my son's room. He even looked at that cake and said "Raff!"(giraffe if you are wondering) and started clapping his hands! So cute!

Anyway, he says I have to get him the first book because it looks fun. Of I could win it... ;)

dayna said...

Those cakes are adorable!! (All of those photos would make a cute book for children!) And my kids are really loving animal books lately so I would love the first book. *fingers crossed*

Anonymous said...

I like the tiger cake and the 2nd book.

BTW - speaking of daily cuteness: dailysquee.com

Lucy Claire said...

i <3 uni's with comb-overs.


I like the second book.

Ali K said...

Squee! So much cuteness! :D

The zooborn books are so cute! The first one is adorable!

Michelle said...

So cute! I loved all the sweets today. I would love either of those books. My daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES baby animals! :)
Michelle

Green said...

Interestingly enough we watched a documentary on "Wild China" this morning where we saw pandas having sex. ...making love? Is that more PC? I'm not sure.

At any rate. If I'm the random comment I'd love the second book. I think I might make it one of those pass-a-long books. Read it, coo at the cuteness, then comment in the front cover and pass it on to the next reader.

...Though we do have a coffee table now.

WV: Oh chiesk! These cakes are keyute!

Adriana said...

All of the cakes are so cuteeeee! :D

I like both books, but would prefer the first one... pretty please? ;)

Word verification: angst. Really.

Jennifer Hepworth said...

Love your blog! My kids would go nuts for the 1st one. They love all the zoo animals!

Casey Bahr said...

The second zoo borns book would be fantastic.

I love this site. It makes my day every time I read it.

Thanks! :)

Casey

Anonymous said...

I adore the first book. Love the 3 bears with the mini cake too cute!

Mallory said...

Sunday Sweets are the best! I wish I could decorate like that!

I like the first ZooBorn book, the one for kids. I'm a student teacher right now and it would be a great addition to a classroom.

Lizzy Leigh said...

Such adorable cakes today! The stackable pandas were my favorite.

If I won I'd take the book for the older people. That way my 8 year old and I can enjoy it together! :)

Unknown said...

Awww, these are sooooo cute!! I love the dragon!

As for the books, I like the 2nd one best, but really, ZooBorns are just wonderful, so either is great!

SamiJean said...

I would love the 2nd book, and I love cake wrecks, read it everyday!

Jenn M. said...

Those are all adorable! My favorite is the no-neck giraffe.

I like the first Zooborn book. :)

I'd love to win the second ZooBorns (the one for everyone) because I showed these cakes to my 8-year-old son and he was "Awww"-ing right along with me. 8-)

The first book for the kids looks cute.

I can't decide which cake I like the most the pandas or the tiger. I would love the first book ( the one for kids) I teach kindergarten and my class would love this book.

Scootersgirl said...

Kim McCary said...

I wanna win! SO cute, I am bloated with cute!

Jenni said...

The Baby Chthulu cake is awesome... And I'm okay with either book... cute fuzzy baby animals just do it for me!

Midwife Mommy said...

that first book is so cute, the little tiger just looks so cuddly!

Sam Kamens said...

Love the first cake - reminds me of the bumper/wallpaper we had for my daughter when she was a baby - it was called "Judy's Jung'e" and had animals like that one.

I'd go for the second ZooBorn book, if I got the chance...

Rachael L. said...

We'd love the second book, as we're currently expecting our second-born.

Onnie said...

Oh the first book looks adorable. If by any chance I'm randomly picked, I'd like that one.

I need teh kyoot. The second book would make my day. :)

zooborns for kids sounds like something mine would like

Adams Family Album said...

Absotively wondermus cakes today! I have a soft spot in my head for baby cakes.....Anyways! I like either ZooBorn book! My boys love animal books :)

Unknown said...

Those cakes are so adorable! We have a little one due next month (30 days to be exact!) and I already have Jungle Baby cake ideas running through my head for his first birthday- haha! Well as far as the books go, the second one is adorable! (Is that a fox?)

I would love the Zoo Born book for "grown-ups." So cute! Squee!

Marissa and Aidan said...

I simply must have that Panda cake! So cute. My son would love the zooborn book.

Unknown said...

I'd like the book for kids. My 2 year old son loves animals!

Rachel said...

First, I love that today's post was done by John. Gotta love a man with a tender side. ^_^

My fave is probably the first one. I absolutely love the detail on the palm trees!

Does the tiger cake make anyone else think of one of those cats from the game Kinectimals? Heehee!

As always, I love this blog! Thanks for keeping it real. ;)

GAMECAT said...

I'd really like the second Zooborns book! They're both adorable, but I like the cover of the second one the most.

Excellent post, as usual!

Great tie-in with Zooborns! My kids love that site and would be so excited to have the kids' Zooborns book. I'm going back to staring at the pink-beribboned Baby Cthulhu now.

Victoria said...

I WANT!!! I WANT!!!!! And I don't care which one. SO CUTE (tho I also have a thing for tigers, so I like the first cover better.)

The detail on the teddy bears..!!
Amazingness.

Jill B. said...

So cute! I'd love Zoo Borns! the first.

mommy juggles said...

Love Love Love that sculpted giraffe cake a lot!

The book for little kids is perfect, I've got a 10.5 month old and a 3 year old who loves to read to her baby brother. <3

Kris said...

The second book, definitely!

I love the no-neck giraffe!

jessica s said...

I adore the second book..thanks!

Jen said...

I like the Zooborn book for BIG kids! :)

Laura McF said...

squeee, Tare Panda!! <3

and baby Chthulu!! I think my head asploded.

I desperately want both those books, but I think if I had the one for babies I could share it with my little niece I can teach her to squee. :D

Ashley Alley said...

I LOVE THE GIRAFFE CAKE!!!
And the second book :)

Ashley said...

I loooooove the pandas and the hippo! The cutest! And I second zooborn book is adorable - hope I win!

Danielle said...

I'd be happy with either one! :) Huge Zooborns fan!

Laura said...

Baby Cthulu rocks!
The "aawwwww" factor was set to high for ALL of these cakes!

Lydia said...

The second book. I would give it to my anthropologist/zoologist friend who introduced me to ZooBorns!

Unknown said...

These are amazing! The baby Chthulu (or perhaps just a Chthulu getting all dolled up) is amazingly creative. You know that was for the parents as much as it was for the child. I haven't read the Zooborns books but with six nieces and nephews under age 7 (and one nephew arriving in April), either would be an awesome win to have on hand for visits! I also work as a doula and keep kids' books on hands for wee siblings-to-be to read while mom labors, so why not add to the bag of tricks? Side note: I can't wait to search online to find a fennec cake! (The big-eared beauty on the cover of the second book is a fennec and is just made for over-the-top cuteness.)

megrat7 said...

Makes me want to go borrow someones kid just to have a cake made for them!!

And book #2 please ;)

jillb-ilslp said...

What an adorable teddy bears cake!

How generous! I would love the first book for children since I work with children.
Thanks for the daily smiles!

Julia G said...

I can vouch for Jenn - the tiger is definitely Lisa Frank-esque. I had tons of those folders and pencils and notebooks etc etc etc. But my fave is either the stack o' pandas or the unicorn.

Cynthia Notebaert said...

I'd love the one for everybody else :) Too cute!!!!

Anonymous said...

The second book would be my choice. Although the panda cake is really what I want - adorable.

Claire

Andrea said...

I would love to get the baby one for my 5-month old daughter but would be happy with either one.

Erica said...

Both books look sweet, but if I have to choose I'll take the second one.

Herrings4 said...

Adorable cakes, and just in time! My son is turning 1 soon and I needed some inspiriation! Thanks!

Lisa J. said...

Love all those super-cute cakes. As for the books, either one would be fine.

paigegant said...

I love the unicorn with the combover. Since I have 2 girls who are in love with all animals, especially baby ones, I would like to have the Zooborns geared to younger readers. Thanks! I love your blog. So funny...

I like the first Zooborn books - babies from around the world! This post was so cute, made me 'awwww' the whole time.

Anonymous said...

Loved today's cakes. My 2 year old son watches me as I read the CW blogs and laugh my head off. Now he comes over to check out the cakes, does his own laughing impression and then says "EW" or "That's scary!" to most of them! Love it!

So if we are chosen for the book prize today, I think my son would dig the 1st book. He's an animal freak!

Lori said...

I would totally love either of the books.
Those cakes are so stinkin' cute! The first one takes the cake for me though - the blue lion is so adorable!

-Get it? Takes the cake? I can be witty too!

Unknown said...

either of these books would be awesome, almost as awesome as the dragon cake!

Catherine said...

Cutest cakes ever! They were all so great I can't even pick a favorite out of the bunch. Speaking of favorites, (how is that for a segue?) I love the cutsie fennec fox on the second book!

Jordan said...

I love the little fox on the second book! So sweet. Whipping out the gumpaste tomorrow--inspiration!

Mom of Many said...

Since I am horribly bad at time zones, don't even know which one I'm in, here's hoping it's before midnight wherever EST is. :D But as an avid reader of cake wrecks, but never posted before, I humbly submit my first comment hoping to win an adorable zoobook for my kiddos. They would like either one, but my personal fave is the second one. crossing my fingers, but will continue to amuse myself greatly reading cakewrecks whether I win or not.

LBGarrett said...

I am overwhelmed by sugary cuteness.
If I got the Fennec Fox book I would have to faint from the joy of baby critters.
Thanks Cake Wrecks!

Margot said...

OOOOHHHHHHH Zooborn for kids! My 2 yo would adore that--she's obsessed with all things baby!

Tori said...

That Chthulu is the cutest ruler of the underworld ever! It makes me want to replace all my "r"s with "w"s.

I'd be happy with either book, but my young son would much prefer the one for kids :) Adorable!

Either book would be fantastic! My girls wold love either!

Super cute cakes. I really liked the pink hippo. I liked the first Zooborn book.

I would take either book, but have a 4 year old and baby on the way who I think would like the first better.

Melody said...

The baby animal cakes remind me of a cake a friend of mine baked which features nuzzling giraffes and said "happy every day". I've wanted to submit it for a while. guess I should have!

As far as books, I would love to have the second book for myself, but I'd also love to send the first book to my sister's family. She is a zoologist and her two boys get to have be best of animal encounters.

Pick me, I'd love to have the second book!

Erica said...

My kids would love either book. Way cute cakes!

Christine said...

We love baby animals and that first book looks great.

Auntie M said...

OK, My daughter Jenevieve (yes, another Jen) aka 4boys4me, makes cakes for her kids, and they like Cake Wrecks.
I can just see one the boys requesting the Cthulu cake. Why? Because their mom is weird enough to make it for them.
And book two would be fun.

Sarah said...

baby animals....my girls would just die for it!!

Kristin said...

So damn cute...love the dragon. And, I'd love to win the book for kids.

Unknown said...

I like the second book. I did my daughters bday cake upon request. She thinks it should go on the Sunday sweets. I see a big fat pink wreck! That's for "encouragement" that I too can make a cake! -natalia

Jenna Lee said...

*love love LOVE* the sleeping dragon! I want it for my bday!

Cuteness overload! but would love the second Zooborns book. My son adores the ZooBorns page.

Unknown said...

Hope I am not to late to leave a comment. Love the blog, love, love the witty quips and would love to have either book! Keep up the great work!

Alisa said...

I would totally take the second, since I'm a cute animal loving adult person! (and may I ask for the cake with the lion living in harmony with the rest of the animals as well?)

My daughter would loooove the Zooborns book!

Alisa said...

Oh heck, who am I kidding, I want the first as well. I am practically a kid anyway. My drawer full of crayons and coloring books and my THREE shelves of cartoons and kid movies (out of 6) say the same too.

Whoa, 1300+ comments?

I think I'm now at cute overload for the week, but I'm not complaining. Either the first cake or the Tare Panda cake is my favorite.

I think the pandas actually make more sense as cake - I've never understoond why they have that "Russian Nesting" look (thanks for the great description, BTW, I'll always think of it when I see them from now on), but it actually makes sense for a layered cake! :p

Ky said...

So Cute! I was just looking at the ZooBorns site today and loved the first book for kids, but both are so stinking cute!

Jedi Knight Ivyan said...

Am i too late??
Darn Arizona for not taking part in daylight savings!

I'll take Zooborns for $200, Alex!

My kid and kid-on-the-way love animals. Did I mention yesterday was my baby shower and you didn't get me anything? Shame on you. Shame on me for not inviting you. But, it's not too late to send me a book which the kids will love! please, please, please!

Maggie said...

Adorable yes.
Accurate in the description of their diets, no.
Someone by now has surly addressed the fact that the Russian nesting Pandas eat BAMBOO and Blinis, right, not Eucalyptus and Borscht.
I mean only Russian nesting Koalas eat Borscht.

hyphen8 said...

LOL: had to add this bit of synchronicity - my PBS station is showing this episode all about baby animals tonight - Born Wild: The First Days of Life!

Oh, and not to add to the Epbotness, but regardless of what regular pandas eat, maybe Tare pandas do eat Borscht. I don't read enough Japanese to be able to tell, and Wikipedia doesn't say. :p

Keidi said...

We have little kiddos, and would love to win the Kiddie one. Thanks for a chance!

Ellen said...

The baby Cthulhu is just a riot, and oh, so cute!

And these cakes are, as you said, fetching. Wonder if any of them will fetch me some cake?

Anna N said...

aww man, i'm too late as it's already 913pm Pacific. oh well, those are two uber cute books... and definitely the cutest was the unicorn with the combover. :o)

Erica B. said...

I would love the first book to read to my little boy. He loves loves loves loves animals. It seems like a super cute fun book to add to his bookshelf! :)

(Never hurts to enter a contest, does it?!)

cookiestork said...

Adowable animals awe adowable.

Cory and Sara Jane said...

Ok seriously, I "awed" out loud when I came to the panda cake. How freaking adorable is that? That second book looks pretty dang cute. My kids & I would love it!

Anonymous said...

Oh, so much cuteness, I'm squeeing!

EEK!! I LOVE the panda's so much. They look like cute squishy pillows! I want to reach out and squish them!

gategeek said...

Dang, it's probably too late. :(
The first book looks pretty cute though!!

Ellen said...

I'm amused to see, on the Odelia cake picture, that there is a "Curlz"-like font for Hebrew.

Not sure why that amuses me, but it does!

Kathryn Smith said...

The Zooborns for babies! If I don't win it, I'm probably going to buy it anyhow!

Oh who am I kidding, I'm buying one for every little kid I know! :)
