Here are this week's amazing and unbelievable cakes inspired by books...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland inspired cakes

I love how each layer represents a different part of the story: the bottom layer represents the grass Alice is resting upon in the beginning when she spies the white rabbit with the pocket-watch, the second layer is Alice's dress and the top layer is a teapot from the famous mad tea party!

How super cute is this one?! I love the caterpillar and little tea set!

This one is really pretty and I love those colors.
