All Las Vegas Cakes

This enchanting work is appealing on so many levels. The delicate color scheme of pink and lavender is so pleasing to the eye. The small lavender hearts are precious, and the lavender trim at the base and at the top of the cake are simply perfection. Resting atop this piece are two of the main characters from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"; the legendary "White Rabbit" and the famously grinning and (from time to time) disappearing "Cheshire Cat." Also in evidence are preparations for a tea party; the March Hare, Mad Hatter, and Dormouse are sure to turn up, any minute now. Stunning roses in palest pink and white add a note of grace, and a picture of the guest of honor is prominent between the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat. There are two clever and intentional plays on words in the greeting that is executed in shiny gold hand-drawn script: Alessandra (for Alice), and "ONEderland" for "Wonderland." "Wonderland/ONEderland" might be just right for YOUR little "Alice."
