Sunday Sweets: Jim Henson Tribute
Last week marked the 21st anniversary of Jim Henson's final bow. So, in his honor, I thought we'd take a look at some of the many Sweets featuring his most famous friends:

Now on to the "cakes you want to cuddle" section of today's post:
I promise I *did* look for Sweets from some of Henson's other work - the Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, and my personal favorite, Labyrinth - but all I found worth mentioning (and that I haven't posted before) was this doorknocker from Labyrinth:

And finally, since I don't have a cake version of him for you, here's the Swedish Chef demonstrating the proper use of the "cäkenschmööscher."
This is the cutest flying bed (and miniature rubber ducky) I have ever seen. Such a great design, too!

So getting back to the Muppets, here are two more of my favorites (and who I'd also love to have on my desk):
