Full Body Shot for Acting

 For my new acting pictures, I decided to get rid of my outdated full body photo and take new pictures. I wanted to make it simple with just a white tee and jean shorts as to not distract from the overall picture, so that Casting Directors' can more accurately see what I look like. After I was done with my "serious photos", I decided to have a bit of fun and goofed around while taking pictures.

Under the Sea Birthday

I had an order for an Under the Sea birthday cake, which I made over the weekend. It was 2 layers, of vanilla and strawberry with vanilla buttercream frosting, and tinted and piped like waves on the outside. Unfortunately, I could not get good enough lighting as it was cloudier out, but the seashell on top had a little pearl inside, and gold lustre dust all over, which made it sparkly. The cake was for a little girl named Estelle's first birthday. Her mom decorated an entire part of the park with a bubble machine, lined sparkly tables with goodies, and had attendees dress up in Under the Sea themed costumes. There were little girls dressed up as mermaids, playing with bubbles, and it was truly a wonderful and memorable birthday. I wish I had a party like that when I was a child!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day I made a bouquet of flowers cake. All flowers and stems are made out of fondant, which was originally white and I tinted a variety of colors. For the flowers, I simply cut into one inch strips and rolled up into a little flower bud. The cake is chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting.

Topshop Outfit

I had a fun time trying out an all green background for shooting outfits, and my entire outfit is from Topshop.

Easter Cakes

I baked a mini easter egg cake and a carrot cake for Easter!

Cake and Macarons for the Holidays

For Christmas, I made a reindeer and gingerbread cake, and also peach macarons. I also decorated my dresser, using birch branches to hold some jewelry and lanterns, which are one of my favorites to hang from tree branches as it creates such a fairtytale feel.

My Birthday Cake

I made a cherry blossom cake for my birthday, I wanted to represent the last year of my life with the cherry blossoms, symbolizing changes and eradication of a previous stage in my life, and then renewal and birth of a new stage, just as cherry blossoms quickly die and then our reborn again. The circle of life. All the covering and flowers were made out of fondant. I created the flowers by dying the white fondant two different shades of pink, and then used a big and small flower cookie cutter to cut the initial shape, and then the end of a pencil eraser to create indents in each petal, and bent them slightly.
