Maurice Sendak Little Bear Storybook Cake

Little Bear was written by Danish-born American author Else Holmelund Minarik, and the original illustrations were by Maurice Sendak. This cake is based on those classic picture books that so many of us grew up reading. Each character is hand-painted and set in a tiny parade scene.

A tiny procession of creatures like the Picture Books we grew up on. They wander the edge of this cake like the margin of a beloved page.
Most of my work is half imagination half cake. The older I get the more they are the same thing. Pages become petals. Characters become piped leaves. It all folds back into sweetness in the end.

Tell me your child’s favorite story, and I can make it into a cake.
