Dreams.

The combination of loving cake, spring and special occasions. All mixed up together to become part of many dreams. I find this so very beautiful in a wedding cake.
The same applies to any creative activity and it is the stuff that makes its examples unique when such a loving combination of different things is balanced perfectly only to leave us wishing it would be repeated again and again. This is impossible though because what makes occasions special is indeed their fugacity and one can only seek consolation in the wish that such experiences will remain within us forever in our memory.
A future project of mine: learn fondant and sugar techniques for cake decoration!
