Pink sugar roses and cute gumpaste kittens; vintage tea parties and warm scents from the kitchen; three-layer cakes covered in buttercream: these are a few of our favorite things!

Here are this week’s Friday faves:

What’s not love about these darling “LOVE” cupcakes? by mmmcake0072.

I absolutely adore this New Mexico inspired cake by cobutterfly. The color choices, and modern chevron pattern make this cake a classic, but the turquoise jewelry, succulents and python band are what really make it special and uniquely capture the southwestern style in a modern and sophisticated way.

I love the design of this baby shower cake by tjkern1! The colors are great and I love all the creative button details.

What a cute idea for a hen night from pellegrinoso! Each cupcake design is so original and fun, and I love the hand-painted hens.

 

These Valentine’s Day cookies by Smash_Cakery are romantic and fun. The designs are simple but eye-catching— no better way to say “I love you” than pretty piping!

Andi’s Faves

Isn’t this the cutest? The woodland creatures on tamimisha’s baby shower cake are beyond adorable. I love that she used a terrarium for a cake stand, creating a wonderful, unified look.

Bonnelope’s Grease themed birthday cake pulls together a perfect combination of iconic images from the movie. Using the car as a cake topper was a great choice, and the finished look is delightfully playful.

Ideasinicing’s groom’s cake and wedding cake combination is the right balance of humor and nerdiness. I love the detail on the AT-AT Walker and the way the scene spills over onto the more traditional wedding cake.
