This cake was so fun to do! The client pretty much gave us free reign to do what we wanted for the extravagant brunch she was holding for a baby naming.

Although the baby was a girl the colours were purple and yellow, some of the father’s favourites. Given that he is a well know fashion designer, and grandma is a fantastic artist in her own right, we really wanted to keep their attention to artistic detail in mind. 

What could be more different and fun for a baby naming than a vintage carousel? It can’t help but conjure feelings of early summers and the whimsy of childhood. For us, it was also about the joy of creating something pretty and detailed that would be a part of the baby album forever. At the very least it beats the Betty Crocker concoction featured in my baby pictures (sorry mom, but the good news is you make a great roast beef)! 

We also made coordinated lemon sugar cookies, purple and white macarons and homemade biscotti to go with the incredible savory spread put on by Toben food by design (shout out, their incredible if you need a caterer).

I hope everyone enjoys the pics! 

Twas several days before Easter and all through the kitchen,

Mounds of sugar were transformed into bunnies as we pitched in,

With pink ears and noses, as sweet as can be,

I know it sounds crazy but they seemed real to me…

In the middle of the night one bunny awoke with a start,

And cried to the others “where is the cake to turn us to art?”

“Its too soon for Easter, we can’t last that long, 

I fear that somethings gone terribly wrong!”

But one wise little bunny knew what was in store,

And said, “We’re not for Easter, but for a girl turning four.”

They all hopped for joy and shouted hooray,

and awaited the party at the HOLT RENFREW Cafe!
