Geez Louise, has it ever been a long week. About half-way through, I began requiring wine and vast quantities of cake to make it to Friday. Last night, I spent a couple of hours just looking at pictures of cake. It was weird. I really have never just sat around, looking at pictures of food before, I swear. But really, there are some cakes out there in the blogosphere that are really inspiring, and not just for baking. I also recently saw the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings in the grocery store. While I certainly don't miss planning most parts of a wedding, I'm still interested in looking at wedding cakes (as if you hadn't guessed). Some of the cakes featured looked like wallpaper or embroidery. And so, I give to you some of my picks for the best of inspirational cakes.

| From The Knot--this would make a great girl's birthday cake. |
 |
| And another from Martha Stewart Weddings (they make the best cakes!)--the lines are made to resemble Japanese Sashiko stitching. It looks so crisp and modern yet sweetly traditional. |
 |
| From Brides.com--this would make a great wall mural |
|
But really, what's a cake worth if it doesn't taste good? Here are some cakes that may be simple, but still look incredibly delicious (some of the links will lead to recipes):

| Found on Cookies and Cakes (yes, it's a blog full of nothing but pictures of cookies and cakes) |
 |
| From Sweet Paul--Salted Caramel and Chocolate Cake |
These cakes transcend the traditional boundaries which confine many of the world's bakers! I applaud your eye for deliciously beautiful baked goods and implore you to give us more...the world needs flavor and you are oozing it girl!
