Inspired by Whitney Smith
Whitney smith is a ceramics artist from Oakland, California who sells her food-safe dishware on etsy. Her items would be adorable for a wedding, tea party, or any excuse you can find to eat a piece of cake.
One of her great ideas is for a 'cupcake stand'. She describes them as the perfect size "for people who can't quite commit to a whole cake."
One of my favorite pieces of hers is the nesting lotus bowl.
All pictures of her pieces were found on her
website.
Her work gave me the idea to try my own hand at creating a bird-inspired cupcake dome. However, while hers are simple and elegant, I decided to explore the inspiration a bit more. Why have a white stand, white dome and white bird... When you can add some color? I really do like her monochromatic style, though, so maybe next I’ll try a simpler version.
Here's the result:
