So Inspired ~ Cake Opera Co

It's a good thing I don't know how many countless "moments"
( which sounds better than hours or days ) 
I have spent pinning cake pictures on Pinterest.  I'm addicted people !
( those that don't eat, pin perhaps )

But the breathtaking creations of Alexandra Pellegrino & Jessica Smith ?

Well, they ... take the you-know-what !

Meet the masterminds of
The Cake Opera Co

I stumbled upon these ridiculously meticulous works of art this morning
and it was too good of a feast for just my eyes ~ I had to share.
It's hard to believe they are cake !

Many of the towering confections are made of macaroons ( that's SO french, no ? )

 

~ Hope you enjoyed ~

Sweet dreams to you !

Check out the amazing art inspired goodies by pastry chef,
Caitlin Williams Freeman

Her desserts pay homage to the art below
and gives visitors a new way to appreciate it

She is often is seen walking around the museum with a sketchbook in hand
looking for her next inspiration ...

( sample page from the sketchbook - I like how this woman thinks ! )

So, if you saw Katharina Fritsch's poodles and Jesus installation,
"Kind mit Pudeln"


Would you be in the mood for a poodle ice cream sandwich & cappuccino ?


How about Richard Avedon's haunting portrait,
"The Beekeeper"


does it make you jonesy for the "beekeeper petit-four" ?


One of my favorite paintings Wayne Theibald's "Display Cakes"
