Sunday Sweets: Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! Whether you're chomping off chocolate bunny ears, off to church, laying off the leaven, or none of the above, I hope these Sweets make your Sunday a little sweeter.


Swirly roses make me happy.

D'awww.


Ta-da!

I love the soft pastels on these birthday bunnies:

This one, too:


See the little bunny butts in the circles? I like how modern and subtle they are.

Or how about this cute chick?

These ribbons and flowers really pop out at you:

Sooo pretty!


Try not to melt when you see these cupcakes:

Stand back; I may faint from cute overload.

Those toppers are actually decorated cookies. And the sanding sugar on the Peeps? PERFECTION.

In fact, there are tons of gorgeous Easter cookies out there:

I want those carrots. The swirly outlines are so fun!

(For lots more cookie cuties, check out this round-up. Gorgeous!)


Whenever I think of Easter, I think of lilies. So for a more elegant turn, let's check out some of the best gumpaste stargazer lilies I've ever seen:

All of those flowers and foliage are handmade. Seriously! Click on the pic and look at it close-up: you'll be blown away. Plus, this is only one of three tiers; hit the link to see the others.

Now, how about some calla lilies?

Breath-taking. The leaf swirls really make the design come alive.

And finally, here's a perfect combination of elegance and whimsy:

Of course, I *am* biased when it comes to sugar carrots. ;)

  9. I want the bunny in the second cake -- that floppy ear is just irresistible.

    The rest of them a fantastic, you understand, but that bunny has character.

  10. I love all of these. But I love Callas the most. :)

  11. I just love these! Especially the Calla lillies (I love Callas) and that last running rabbit cake!

  13. The perfect antidote to the week's Wrecks...and gorgeous reminders that there really are people out there who can make incredibly beautiful cakes. Happy Edster, Eappy, Easter, or something else or nothing to all.

  19. Oooo... important to enlarge the bunny butt cake. It is very cute, but I thought they were chromosomes and it was a baby shower cake.

    Sigh...

  20. OMG, I clicked on the link for the-icing-on-the-cake to better see the stargazer lilies as you suggested, but was immediately distracted when scrolling down and seeing that birdcage cake. Soooooo pretty!

  21. I was surprised to see the two brown bunnies were done by two different bakeries. The faces are exactly the same. I was disappointed there weren't any non-fondant cakes today. I like to see the beauty of a cake and want to eat it too. There's no palate appeal to the look of dry fondant.

  22. Hey, what about the duckies? Baby ducks are Easter icons too (so is Jesus, I guess)! Where's some water fowl love?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Gooey mess over here after I melted over those cakes. I live them all!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Those flowers are so perfect, I had an instinctive need to sniff at them on the larger picture, and that's looking at them through a computer monitor. Outstanding!

    I've become addicted to Sugarbelle's blog recently. Not only are her cookies amazing, and not only does she feature other amazing cookies, but she's extremely generous with posting how-tos. I'm inclined to try something soon based on such inspiration.

  25. So lovely.

    Those cakes make me very Eappy. :)

  26. This was such a relief after the hideous bright-pink CCC I had to serve this morning!

    I was, however, momentarily distracted from the cute carrot cookies by the bunny's mammary glands... Or maybe I'm the only one that saw those.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The flowers on that heart cake are awe-inspiring... We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

  28. @ Kristin --

    I think those are supposed to be the bunny's front paws being held up cutely in front.

  30. Took my breath away! I want that little chick in the egg cake! :)

  31. Bunny Butts = CUTE.
    Baby Butts = NOT.
    ;) Mags

  32. @Kristen: I believe those are supposed to be paws.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And I just kept saying wow, wow, wow, etc!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh, thank goodness, after all of the horrible cakes you've been showing all week. I was having nightmares, but these are all a dream. I especially liked the bunny tails in the circles cake.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Love them all, but that last one has to be one of the most gorgeous cakes I have ever seen. There is nothing I don't like about it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Those Easter cakes are gorgeous! They make me want to go out and learn how to make cakes like that for my family and friends. So adorable! Nice change from those nightmarish mistakes that we usually see.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Such beautiful cakes. I'm so glad we have Sunday Sweets to remind us that there are elegant and beautiful cakes out there. These are amazing examples of that.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wow, one of the best line ups of truly gorgeous cakes that I have ever seen in one place! Thank you for continuing to stun! (and crack me up!!!!) :-)

  44. These completely make up for all the frightening wrecks this week. Awwwwwwwwwwww!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm pretty sure those are daisies on that first cake :)

    Great Easter post!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow. I want some of those lilies. I wonder if there's a way to save and frame something made out of gumpaste... because it's really a work of art sometimes!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love the soil on the bunny-popping-up-out-of-carrot-patch cake. You can almost taste that chocolate-crumbly good stuff.
