Digital Graffiti

After creating the 300 mini cakes for Jessica Biffi's LG Fashion Week runway show, I had the pleasure of creating a fun, "out of the box" cake for her after-party. Jessica is a lover of artistic and over-the-top cakes, so I really wanted to blow her away.

Using the same cube idea to represent "digital", I created the design based on her collection, sketches, and inspiration.

Because of the time crunch and exhaustion after 300 mini cakes, I enlisted the help of my friend, Lori Hutchinson (The Caketress) to help me bring my design to life. She worked on the base tier while I created the top tier. In the wee hours of morning, we finished the middle tier together. It was challenging and incredibly fun.

I had such a blast working with Jessica to help support her wonderful collection. I loved the idea of being able to merge cake and fashion. I hope to do so again in the future!
