Do you have a passion for dessert and all things sweet? You may like these scrumptious accessories covered in confectionary designs.

This super kawaii stuff by Detroit-based 'Acrylicana' kinda takes us back to our days when we carried Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers and wore Bonne Belle lipgloss and stick-on earrings.

While sifting through Etsy.com, I came across her goods, almost like a little faux-bakery of awesome artwork. The designs are illustrated by the seller and printed on acrylic for the jewelry.

The gumball machine necklace intially caught my eye. It's 2.5 inches long (just big enough) and is only $10.

And who can say no to ice cream cones? This is another one of my favorites. Many of the designs from the adorable desserts and cute foods (like buttered breakfast toast) are pretty girlie and youthful which may explain my fascination.

If you have the necklace you must get the ice cream post earrings, too. at $5 a pop.

And this charm bracelet is like the junk food jackpot! Pastries and popsicles - what a treat! You'll also find sushi and chocolate themed charm bracelets in the Etsy shop, $15.

If the jewelry is too much for you, the stickers are a fun way to add some flavor (yes, pun intended) to birthday card envelopes, stationery and, of course, love letters.
