Ruffle Cake

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Erica OBrien in etsy, wedding cake | 2 Comments

I get a lot of design inspiration from real-world objects. Combine that with my habit of roaming around aimlessly on the Internet and it seems I was destined to stumble across Etsy. I fall in love with lots of things I see there, like this pillow from PillowPallooza. And while most people who fall in love with a pillow think “I must have that!” my first thought is always “I must make that into a cake!” So I did.

Just, You Know, Some Press

Posted on January 16, 2011 by Erica OBrien in press, wedding cake | 1 Comment

I don’t have a page for press on my website. When I think about adding one, I just keep hearing the line from Sugar Hill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight “I don’t mean to brag, I don’t mean to boast…” over and over again in my mind.

It’s not that I think there’s anything wrong with having a press page on one’s website, and if you have one, good for you. And it’s not that I’m not proud of the press I’ve received over the years. I’m actually quite proud. It’s just that, as far as personalities go, I’m more the self-deprecating type. Tell me you like my boots, and I’m more inclined to announce that I got them at Target for $39 than to let you think they’re really expensive. (I did, actually, just get a cute pair of boots from Target for $39.)

Anyway, I don’t mean to brag, I don’t mean to boast, but here’s some of our press.
