Gnome day! Why, you ask??? Yesterday I told my roomie Marissa that I was going to post everyday, and today I almost forgot, until she reminded me. What does this have to do with gnomes???? Wellllll….Marissa has a traveling gnome companion, and this little gnome roadtripped across the entire country with her (all 48 continental states!). So here is a little tribute, in honor of Marissa’s gnomey friend.

Muffin Tops Hit The Big Apple

I thought moving to NYC would change my work completely. I figured that because of space issues I would give up on the cupcake entirely. Boy was I wrong! My first New York show was my most ambitious ever. 10,000 cupcakes strung and hung from the ceiling to create an entire cupcake room at ConArtist. You could smell the cupcakes from the street! The second show was a much small installation at Webster Hall (only a few strands of cupcakes). Now that I got this out of my system…let’s see what’s next!!

Hello 2011. New NYC inspiration

I know I’ve been gone a while. Update: I am now living and working in NYC. I’m working with teenagers at an after school nonprofit tutoring program. Tough..yet amazing job! NYC is inspiring me in a bazillion different ways. I’m falling in love with this city.

Walking home from work, found this. Unmonumental?

Found this walking to work one day. Pop-up art installation?

Delicious Cupcakes…to put on your head!

Where is the best place for a cupcake? Not in your belly. Not in your friend’s belly. Nooo silly! Cupcakes belong on your head.

My Letters

I decided to make some of my Christmas presents…and this is what I came up with. Personalized initials for my loved ones. My aunt said I could make some to go in her store…so I’m thinking about making words, as well as initials..and maybe adding ribbon to hang them on the wall. :]
