DELICIOUSEYE CANDY! ! !
My love of vintage chenille has taken me in all sorts of directions. I made my first chenille cakes almost 2 years ago and they were an instant hit. The creation of each one is an adventure in keeping them unique, but there are those custom cake orders that are highly favored by buyers, invariably strawberry cakes or faux tea party cakes. The latter are usually requested in pink hues: from deep bubble-gum pink to the lightest, softest looking, baby pink. Silk flowers, ribbons, lace, pearls, and white chenille icing make them princess pretty but these lovelies are not exclusively for a little girl's pretend tea party or make-believe wedding. Lots of grown up little girls display them on their cottage tea tables and in their romantic cottage collectible cabinets or give them as gifts!
The non-princess pretties are most often displayed in refinished pie safes or on cake tables similar to the photograph above of the smallish, cracked-ice table in my dining room. I've had several guests do double takes, wide-eyed and laughing upon discovering the table was not laden with edibles, but with chenille decor! "No, it's only eye candy," I tell them. "Feel free to partake!"

MMMMM! Talent. Splenderous tasty talent. These look good enough to gobble up. You need to make a tea set to go with them. Then we can get together for a tea party.
