| "'I
never pictured myself making edible shoes,'
admits cake sculptor, Elisa Strauss, a former
fashion designer for Polo Ralph Lauren. Strauss,
who began baking as a hobby, launched Confetti
Cakes about two years ago, and her creations
have already become fashionista favorites.
She has sculpted a stiletto for Manolo Blahnik
and makeup for Bobbi Brown; her repertoire
also includes a wooden sushi tray topped with
shrimp and tuna sashimi made out of yellow
cake with vanilla fondant frosting. Strauss
offers a wide variety of flavors and fillings,
such as chocolate-bourbon cake with almond
buttercream, but claims that many people just
can't bring themselves to eat them: 'One client
simply refused to allow a knife anywhere near
her cake'" (212-877-9580). -Sarah Lacamoire |
