For the love of capes and cakes

I mentioned in yesterday’s post my love of capes, and so here’s a pic of my girlfriends and me all decked out in them to greet trick-or-treaters for Halloween. We do Halloween BIG at my house and I’ll tell you more about it another time.

High fashion on Halloween. That's me on the right end with my mouth hanging open.

 

Another thing I love is cake. I reaaallly love cake. Really. Really. So here are a few gratuitous cake shots, courtesy of my dear friend Lisa Easton.  She's the tallest redhead in the photo above, second from left, and these are her designs below. 

Wedding cake.

 

Baby shower cake.

 

Birthday cake.

 

Adorable cake.

 

Beautiful, fun, creative? Yes. Best part? You can EAT them ... and they taste delish.

Because they are cakes. And that's what cakes do, my friends: they bring the yum.

You should like Lisa's Facebook page - Cakes By Lisa E. - to really see the art and magic of her cake designs. Not only is she talented, she’s also a lovely, cool person with a touching personal story that I will share another time (with her permission).

And she has buckets of icing in her bakery. Icing by the bucket? Yes, please! Plus her bakery smells incredible. And since she spends so much time there, she smells incredible.

So tonight I offer a couple of my favorite things - and one of my favorite people - with promises of more rambling about them to come.

What are just a couple of your favorite things?
