Beautiful + Edible

As my birthday quickly approaches, I have birthday desserts on the brain. Each year, I like to throw a special party for myself and my bestie (who shares the same birthday). This year we hope to go all out with dessert! Sadly, I have to admit to keeping a folder of stunning AND delicious looking treats, partially because they’re pretty, but mostly because I dream of eating them. I wonder though, with the group of lovely desserts I’m about to show you, how can you eat such a beautiful piece of artwork?! Perhaps my struggle will keep me from overindulging?

Nah.

Feast your eyes on these beautiful AND edible works of art.

So simple and straight up sexy. From Pink Peach Cakes.

How romantical! Message in a cookie cutter by Williams-Sonoma.

These are too stinkin’ cute! What a nice way to trick yourself that you’re eating something good for you, too. Kinda. Via Coco Cake.

This keeps it classy. A cake by Sweetapolita.

These I can imagine included in my dream dessert bar. Do other people dream of dessert bars? Ugh, I have problems. From the Velvet Cream Bakery.

Friggin’ love cookie dough. What a lovely surprise to find while munching on a cupcake! Mmmmm! From The Girl Who Ate Everything.

Crispy, sexy, doily pancakes! Squirt bottle these right onto the griddle and VOALA!

Loverly…Found here.

Fondant covered mini-cakes and a colorful layer cake! What a fun way to get creative and fill a table with color! Martha never fails.

Absolutely in love with these. Something about those colors and shapes! Found here.

Can’t get enough? Check out more on my Pinterest.
