My Friend Emily......

my dear friend, emily whittemore, is an amazing boston based artist and sculptor who makes these incredibly beautiful miniature porcelain cakes by hand. to see her finger tips twirl a piece of clay into a delicate little flower petal is pretty amazing and the end result is unreal! these little cakes are often purchased as wedding gifts from guests who want to give something that is original and quite personal to remember the day.

i always struggle with wedding gifts and bug my husband.... should we give money? should we get them that great vase on their registry? who doesn't like to give an original gift?? i think this, by far, is something a couple would look at in  20 years and really appreciate the hand crafted talent and thoughtfulness of the gift. never mind the fact that i would want to pass this down to my daughter for her to cherish.

originally from richmond, emily moved to nyc to work for famed floral and event designer, preston bailey. if anyone is attending a wedding, baby shower, anniversary party where there will be a fabulous cake and you need a cool gift, call em- she'll replicate it with such intricate detail. emily also makes adorable teas sets for little girls (and boys:-) for cute birthday or holiday gifts.

cutie pie!
