~ok...

february is here.

to me, that means something sweet.

.  . ... what's really  s w e e t  in life?

so this installation is all about

' what's on the plate? '

. ...on life's pedestal ?

my inspiration?

a vision of that ultimate, fantasy  ' c a k e ' !

~*

tall, tall, never-ending  t a l l~

smooth and beautiful and etherial~

hand-painted with a sweet wash of edible pastry color~

piled even taller with layers of the darkest chocolate

spread thin like paper~

pale green chopped pistachios & rose petals

as confetti ~

with of course... .

the ' cherry on top ' !

so... .  here's the box of goodies...

the tools...

the magic ~

from this... .   .

.  . ...to this.

( magic how it all fits in one little box- )

just think if we all

put everything in our lives on a pedestal ~

well, pedestal... in a good way

like- with a chosen "respect" and "attention".

right down to the cherry filling.

with the leaves and stems and pits.

every detail accepted and... .

 cher(ry)-ished !

the little cakes

just starting out... .

to the big cakes

that have been in your life for awhile.

giving our full attention

~ top... .  to bottom.

to the layers upon

l

a

y

e

r

s

upon layers of living, of experience.

( those layers seen & those frosted over~ ) 

 so,

in choosing our newest

' sweet bites '... . 

 what do we bring our forks to?

how do we pick our  ' sweet '  life?

what do we want?

. ...(full) filling ?  . ...nourishing ?

so

 here's to  f e b r u a r y ~*

...the month of

 sweets

and love

and choices

and  ' c a k e s ! '

... . well, yummmm

i know i want mine, please, thank you

with tassels ~*
