Whoa, Jami, what a fabulous place this was to visit. Visit was all I could do given the price tag for personalized door-to-door cake delivery! Plus, after paying more than $1000 for a cake, I'd have to e almost dead before I could even think about eating one. It would have to be my ‘good bye’ gift to myself
Although the gallery was chocked full of gorgeous cakes, I couldnÂ’t quite figure out to what to do with any of those fairly modernistic photos .
I really tried to think outside my comfort level today by going with pink, mint and blue. Yikes, 3 colors you've never seen in my gallery, and colors you're not likely see again.
Here's where my inspiration came from: Page ~ recent cakes entitled "Down the Rabbit Hole".
Thanks for looking!

Anne this is really pretty. I love this image. I have not seen this stamp before. I love the stitching you did. It really adds to your layers. Pretty flowers with the pearl centers. Great job. TFS

Ann, I LOVE it! These colors are so different for you, and I LOVE that you stepped out of your comfort zone! BEAUTIFUL CARD...
And...I don't think I'd be able to eat one of those cakes, either...I'm a HUGE cake-oholic but I don't like fondant icing...ALL those cakes were made with Fondant....Whew! I dodged that $1000 bullet! LOL!

Dear friend, thank you for going out of your comfort zone. You done good, GF. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the DP you chose and those ribbon flowers are da bomb. I think you should reconsider using these color again. You did a fabulous job.
I too wouldn't/couldn't eat a cake that looked like any one of these. They all were too pretty to cut into, plus like Faith, I don't really like fondant.
