Ahhh! The object of my confection

Confetti%20Cakes.jpgStop right there, missy! Are you seriously going to eat that?

Of course you are... we've all got to feed our sweet tooth from time to time. Just don’t come crying to me when your trainer slams you with a few extra sets of squats.

Instead, enjoy yourself and go all out with a designer cake. I was surfing the web, only to find that a cake I had designed was put front and center on Confetti Cakes' website. (Sometimes it's good to have an name that sounds like an animal when you're having a birthday party for two young boys!). Yes, that little blue rhino is mine ... take a closer look.

Of course such handiwork doesn't come cheap... but hey, if you're going to go out and ruin your diet, it better be worth it. So induldge!

Owner Elisa Strauss, an Institute of Culinary Education grad, got her start designing textiles for Polo. (When Ralph got word of her culinary talents, he commissioned a birthday cake in the form of his beloved Bugatti.) Check out some of her work, as you won't believe your eyes (or your mouth for that matter). These cakes don't just look good, they are good!

So next time the occasion calls for something sweet, call Elisa and then call your trainer to make an extra appointment that week!
