Sunday Sweets: Threadcakes!
As you may recall, Threadless.com hosts an annual contest called Threadcakes where bakers replicate one of Threadless' shirt designs in cake form. Threadless shirts are super fun, and the participating decorators are always amazingly creative. The contest just wrapped this week, and since Jen is one of the judges again this year, I thought I'd share some of *my* favorite submissions.
(I'll post a photo of the shirt design first, followed by the cake entry.)
I'm in love with this design titled "Alice's Sewing Basket:"
And here's Melissa's phenomenal matching cake:
Here's one called "Firelight Cottage."
And Jennifer's cake:
This shirt is too cool: "Doc Franklin's Miracle Tonic"
But Neli's cake is even better:

You can see closer detail shots at the link. So cool.
Vina did an awesome job of bringing the design to life:
"Strange Birds" is one of my favourite designs on Threadless. Look at these colours!
Cora's cake based on the design is just as fun.:
But Georgia's cake really blew me away:
By Georgia Suter
Sarah's cake is so beautifully painted...
"Sugar Land" is the perfect design to turn into a cake:
And Kim really brought those evil cavity causers to life:
By Kim Rountree
And Megan didn't miss a beat when she turned it into a cake:
By Megan Matsumoto
It took her a whole week to make! Well worth it, Megan.

And the rainbow pools are chocolate ganache mud cakes? Yeah. I'm so there.
"Diver No 12" is such a neat design on its own...

This shirt called "Extraordinary Observer" is really cool:
But Georgia's cake really blew me away:
By Georgia SuterThe base is made from cake, and the detail above is all pastillage and gum paste. Very impressive!!
I'll wrap up with a few favorites from the 2D category.
This sweet design is called "A Vehicle Built for Dreams." It reminds me of books I read as a kid:
