Sunday Sweets: A Black Tie Affair


You’re cordially invited to feast your eyes on one thing a bit extra refined in the present day: fabulously formal desserts!

By Laura Stankis of JaCiva’s

Please observe: black tie required.

King Kong undoubtedly bought the memo; try his tie and tux on this enjoyable art-deco topper:

Ack! So cute. He is even color-coordinated with the cake’s monogram:

However as each Downtown Abbey fan is aware of, white tie is THE most formal of all night put on, and to decorate accordingly. You already know, like this all-white marvel:

Simply look at that painstakingly good piping!

 

Can polka-dots be elegant? You wager!

It would not get extra basic than black and white with pink roses throughout.

 

Hey, keep in mind that time on Downton Abbey when Matthew was pressured to put on a black tie to dinner, and everybody acted like he had simply shambled in sporting a holey bathrobe and flip flops? Ha! So humorous. (Um, this present is healthier than I am making it sound, trustworthy.)

Don’t be concerned; I wager nobody would ever mistake this magnificence for a waiter.
(Largely as a result of that would not make any sense, however nonetheless.)

 

Okay, again to extra civil issues. Keep in mind that time on Downton when that factor occurred to that individual, and everybody was, like, actually shocked? (Jen says I am not allowed to present any extra spoilers, however YOU know what I imply.)

Effectively, I suppose we are able to solely hope the one that that factor occurred to will come again later. You already know, for a…cameo:

However not as a horse.
I suppose we are able to solely dream!

 

And whereas we’re dreaming, think about the look on Mr. Carson’s face if Mrs. Patmore baked this beautiful cake and hung it up within the eating room, chandelier-style!

Made by Gateaux for  Betty Crocker

That is proper, this cake is definitely hanging from the highest, like an actual chandelier. Or chandeTIER, as I wish to say it. Cake joke! (I’ve by no means really mentioned that.)

 

However I do love the hexagon-shaped tiers of this subsequent cake. Aren’t the hand-painted doodles dreamy?
File this beneath ‘fabulous!’

That is worthy of Lord and Girl Grantham’s most interesting banquet. I wager even Granny would approve.

 

Sorry. I am completely finished speaking about Downton Abbey, I swear. Let’s speak about this damask cake:

By Sugarland

Ain’t no damasquerading, it is pretty!

 

And here is one final extravagantly fanciful cake to remind you to make the remainder of your weekend an event. And perhaps watch extra reruns of Downton Abbey. Once more.

WOW.

Additionally:
“What’s a weekend?”
(Could not assist it!)

Completely satisfied Sunday, everybody!
