Now onto Paris...
Milliner extraordinaire, Jan of "aMuse," asked us to be a part of her annual "Haute Hat Show."
The theme of the event, held at venue 128 South, Wilmington, NC, was
"Spring in Paris!"
The Divas created a cake to compliment the "Spring in Paris" event theme,
topping it with this royal icing Eiffel Tower,
and the sugar paste designer hat, inspired by one of Jan's flower creations.
"Team Divas" were also asked to do a video montage of the
"2011 Spring in Paris Haute Hat Show!"
We LOVE our job!!!...
...and we love the teams we work with!!!

During the event, someone decided that Jennifer also needed to wear a hat,
and selected this magnificent creation for her by milliner Andre' M Baxter.
Then Andre' surprised Jennifer by giving her his beautiful "Fascinator,"
in exchange for cake!!! ;)
The art of creating a royal icing design!!!
The Three Divas cake designs usually begin in the imagination of Diva #1 (Deborah), and sometimes that happens in the middle of the night!!!
Yes, she dreams event design!!!
Next, she translates that dream onto architectural paper...

Then Diva #1 puts her head together with Diva #3 (Jennifer)
on how to bring the design dream into reality!!!
For the Bellamy event, The Divas wanted to top the Moroccan cake with an LED lit royal icing lantern!!!
So "Team Divas" figured out a way to do it by designing it on wax paper placed directly on top of one of the event design lanterns!!!

It was Jennifer, as a child, who loved tiny detail work!!!
Who knew
that the art of coloring and the shaping of Playdough would be the
foundation of training for an art form that would become a business!!!
