Marie Antoinette - Comparing Cake Photos...

Marie Antoinette and a COMPETITION to know about... ;)

Yes, I am sure most of you already know about a free-to-enter competition happening over at Pixie Dust, but in case you haven't entered yet you can click here and you have 1 week left!

I never really loved the product photos I had taken of my Marie Antoinette cakes which I was inspired to make by the Coppola film. The photos of the famous Ladurée cakes were striking, but quite cold as the set seemed to be bathed in a white-blue light. I matched these photos as much as possible and was pleased with the result. See below. However, I am much happier with the photos I recently took on a nice sunny California day in my miniature patisserie. What do you think? Better?! I think nicer. :)

Marie Antoinette Parlour Cakes

Wow, I got some wonderful comments and emails about my sneak peek at these Versailles cakes at my previous post here! I am so glad people seem to like them. I had a lot of fun making them.

Here are all the pictures. Now listed at my online shop! They are being sold as OOAK ('one of a kind'. I will not be repeating this cake range). I made dozens and dozens of rose petals and certainly don't feel like doing all that again... not to mention each individually handmade raspberry!

Handmade by me in 1/12 (one inch scale) with great attention to realism and detail.

And finally the cake range which is for purchase, pictured with a match. (No stands included).

Inspiration from Versailles!

Recently I got all excited about the film 'Marie Antoinette' (2006) - not because I like the film (which is among the most boring I've ever seen), but because I love the sets, costumes and of course the use of Laduree cakes.

So I've made an array of French cakes and desserts which I'll share with you very soon. Before that I'd love to show you my inspiration!

Here is a sneak peek at my new and upcoming Marie Antoinette Parlour Cake Range. Handmade by me in 1/12 (one inch) scale. Available soon at my online store.



And the movie still which inspired it.



Some stills from the film 'Marie Antoinette' (2006) - my inspiration...
