Bayley's 16th

She's hip. She's an artist. She's vibrant. She's kind. And now, Bayley can add being 16 to her resume.  I wanted to make a cake for her party that said these things about her (I skipped the 16 part because that was very obvious to anyone at the party).

Months ago, I read about a project to brighten the slums of Rio de Janeiro by two artists. The images  and purpose were so arresting I filed them away for inspiration for a cake or bedroom or something. Hopefully, you can see why I thought of it for this special girl's birthday. Read more about it at favelapainting.com (that's where I swiped these images from). Doesn't it make you want to paint something? Do you think Mr. California would care if I did this to our car?

  1. That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I need to have a party so that I can hire you and your cake making skills.

  2. I had the opportunity to see in in real life. It was AMAZING!!!! Matt was hoping that the outside was pounded-out Starbursts....nice idea, haha!

    Anyway, every part of it was astonishingly fabulous!
