Yummy Colors

I snapped these cakes at an awesome deli/bakery in Berkeley on 4th Street. Pastry chefs are often overlooked because they are in the "culinary arts," but anyone who watches Ace of Cakes on Food Network knows that they are much, much more than pastry chefs. They’re insane sculptors. In fact, whenever I watch that show I want to fly to Maryland and hang out with the people who work at Charm City Cakes. They’re really funny and weird. They over-achieve on every cake. I like it.

Friends have said my work looks like candy. The colors and shapes are similar. But... I don’t think you would want to eat felt or quilt batting. Frosting is much better.
