These cupcakes and cake were for a children's book themed baby shower that had a slight emphasis on Peter Pan.  I used the adorable invites, designed by Wade Keller, as inspiration for the fun colors and playful patterns.  To top it off, the text was one of the mommy-to-be's favorite quotes from Peter Pan:

"Second star to the right and straight on till morning... that was the way to Neverland."

This whimsical Wizard of Oz cake was for a 50th birthday party with a Wizard of Oz theme.  I decided to capture each of the four main characters through different representational patterns and materials.  Around the bottom tier Dorothy's friends the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion are represented.  While the top tier is Dorothy, of course, topped with the yellow brick road and the emerald city.

I did this square beauty for Kate and Steve Tornone's wedding.  The cute and contemporary summery feel of the wedding inspired the shape and yellow gradient.  While the piped lace pattern was a nod to Kate's family wedding traditions, copied from a drawing her Mom did of Kate's grandmother's wedding veil, bringing past and present together beautifully.
