Sweet Treat October : an interview with the CAKE girls

I love CAKE.  more specifically I love the company CAKE.  I have known them since I first started shewanders in 2002.  They have inspired me and encouraged me every day since.  I hope you enjoy the interview and have a chance to one day eat a CAKE cake.  With Love,  Suzanne
PS How fabulous is this shoot for Exquisite Weddings?  The cake was such a highlight.  See more of this shoot here.  Also hat's off to our gorgeous models.  Ella from Brightly Designed.  Emma from the Little Hen House.   Noah from Root 75.  These are some talented kids.  See more from this shoot here.

Interview with the CAKE girls.
1. How do you come up with your CAKE designs?

-If it's left completely up to us, we try to get as creative as possible. We determine decor by theme, color and manifest the design through art. Or, we ask the clients for their vision and do our best to capture it.

2. Have you ever had an imaginary friend? who/what was it?

-No, but I used to imagine that my stuffed animals and dolls came alive when I left the room.

3. Is there any specific music/artist/song that gets your creative juices flowing?

-Honestly, when we're suffering through a long shift, Jenn and I put on the "Ying Yang Twins" station on Pandora and dance!

4. What’s the best topping to put on ice cream?

-Thick hot fudge, home made whipped cream and a ton of roasted spanish peanuts.

5. What would you carve into a pumpkin?

-A goofy monster

6. What’s your favorite “old wives” tale?

-Swallowing watermelon seeds will grow a plant in your stomach and the stork brings a new baby home.

7. If you could have a super power what would it be?

-TO FLY!!!!

J:  What is one of your favorite quotes?

J:  If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

H:  Fly a helicopter!

J:  Is a picture worth a thousand words? Elaborate.

H:  You interpret a picture.  You see someone smiling in a portrait, and you can either tell yourself that they are really, truly happy, or just faking it for the sake of the moment.  You could imagine what they are thinking about, who they are, what they love, who they love.  It's your interpretation.

H:  I don't think I could touch utters...

J:  What crazy activities do you dream of doing someday?
