Replica of wedding cake, centerpiece, paintings, recipe card

The Wedding Cake Project is an ephemeral centerpiece that responds to the feelings of angst left by my own wedding cake - made by my mother - for my wedding in 2002.
Intending to achieve emotional catharsis, I decided to recreate my wedding cake and display it for free consumption at places were I knew the outcome would be a joyous experience. Venues that have engaged with the Wedding Cake Project experience range from alternative gallery receptions to museums to weddings of friends and people who have solicited. The cake is free of charge, in keeping with the intention of reigniting pure expressions of joy.
