everytime i walk into Caroline's house - everything is either flowers or cats. Most of the time, she doesn't have any living flowers or cats... but i assume she likes them.  i decided to keep it simple, but still have color - this is what i came up with.  

for my 1-month old nephew  the meaning behind this cake: my earliest memory was when i was probably about 4 years old..  i remember standing at the kitchen counter as my dad how many more hours until mom gets home.. holding up 10 fingers until finally.. which seemed like eternity - he narrowed it down to 1 finger - and i knew that at one finger she would be home any second...

 My therapy is to create and i'm hoping that my creating will lead to other people's happiness - which in turn would make me happy.  My latest (and hopefully lasting) creations are cakes. Not only is it guaranteed time of tranquility but its the moment that that person sees the cake that captures me. The look on their face, the instant happiness, where time just .. freezes for 2 seconds...  the work is still kind of rough, and i'd like to document my progress.. and have others watch me and/or help me along the way.  Anita
