It was the 80's and I was there!




I said a hip hop,
Hippie to the hippie,
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

I was there! My first boyfriend was a graffiti artist as a matter of fact one of the top artists in the city and to this day is still in the graffiti scene and is considered a legend. Here's to you #skeme! #Pacman was the game of choice, we listened to #cassettetapes on #boomboxes to hear our favorite songs, and boys in the hood who were wore chunky gold chains to accessorize their outfits. Welcome to #HipHop, welcome to the 80's!!!

The Cube Cake with Le Cobusier's The Modulor






Making a cube out of cake has to be one of the most difficult cakes to make. It takes a ruler, a protector, a T square, a compass, and everything else you learned to use in geometry. Oh, you don't remember geometry? Didn't think cake designers used it? Well we do, and other math applications as well! Back to the cake, this is probably the second cube cake I've made the first being a #Rubik'scube, the cake above was a much better attempt in that the sides came out really straight and that's because I used fondant panels to attach the to the cake instead of the standard draping the fondant over the cake method. Made for an architect, The Modulor is the proportioning system developed by Le Corbusier who believed these proportions to be evident in the human body. The purpose of the Modulor was to "maintain the human scale everywhere". The entire building "Unite d'" was based on the Modulor proportioning system. A little bit of art history for the day.
