These beauties from SusieCakes in Brentwood , CA found their way to the conference room at work today. They were to celebrate the launch of a new project.

I looked at them with longing. Not because I wanted to eat them (well, maybe), but because I wanted to make them! They were so pretty to look at and made me dream about decorating my days away, boxing up cakes and sealing them with The Girl With A Curl labels.

But I do have to say that refrigerated cakes need to sit in room temperature for awhile. I hate biting into hardened buttercream. Frosting like that ought to be enjoyed in all its gooey (but not runny) glory.

This weekend is going to be busy, baking-wise. I’ll hopefully have something to show for it on Monday!

Have a sweet weekend, all.
