Let 'em eat pearls!



Reminiscent of the Art Deco era of the 1920's this wedding cake is a nod to the opulence I can only imagine from studying Coco Chanel and Tiffany.  While designing this cake I couldn't help but notice the juxtaposition of simplicity and detail, bold shapes next to delicate ones, and textures layered upon smooth surfaces.  The bride and groom were a huge part of the design process and had a style all their own.

Halloween is just around the corner and what better holiday to create a style all your own?  Depending on how you view the holiday it can be a great time for dreaming and creative transformation.  Stay with me here, but a long, long, long time ago the Pagans would use the day October 31st, known as Hallow's Eve, to dream of what they would like to be and lift their Spirits to become it.  After a long day of crafting their costumes a meditative or prayerful dance would last long into the night as these dreams would turn into reality.  Now that's switchin' up this spooky day of autumn!

I'm sure you're wondering at this point where this blogpost is going.  I thought I was reading about wedding cakes! - you say.  Well, I could say these are two thoughts about style juxtaposed within the words of this blog.  Or how creating your own style whether for your wedding or a Halloween celebration is a process that makes dreams come true.

How do you make your dreams come true?

I'm off to a Halloween dance party.
