Interpretative Labels

Label

"'Frosted Flour Power' was inspired by the traditional cake stand block. My love of everything vintage led me to carnival glass cake stands. The beautiful colors within the glass inspired this celebratory color palette. Cake has always been associated with celebrations. Our birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and graduations to name a few. Everybody loves cake!"
