Since it's Friday, let's look at some beautiful cakes found via Swanky Tables. They all look like they came from Anthropologie, but we won't hold that against them.

I love the tall-and-skinny style with uneven tiers - it's so unusual, yet simple.

I think this cake is beautiful, but it looks so precarious. I'm sure there is some story behind it, but I really don't understand why the cake is resting on a vase filled with dead tree.

This one is pretty, but all I can see is the Twitter bird, and a bunch of olives.

This is like monochromatic Legos, so I love it. I love geometric shapes and patterns.

While this cake is very feminine, I don't feel that it is twee. The strong, square cake really balances out all those delicate fondant blooms.
What do you think? I think I need some cake now. Again, I wish they'd tell you what kind of cake is inside. A cake could be the most beautiful thing ever, but if I find out that it's lemon and cherry with pistachio filling, I lose all desire to taste it.
Happy weekend!
