Blessed With Breasts

I was invited to participate in the debut event for a new organization called Blessed with Breasts. Their mission is to "SHIFT the way our society views, talks about, and objectifies breasts." It was a beautiful event that included chocolate, photography, a fashion show, and sharing stories about healing, self-love and acceptance. It was held in San Francisco at the Red Victorian in the Haight district - what a beautiful and creative space! When I was first approached about the event to provide some sweets, I thought instantly of cake truffles, to look like little boobies! I thought of using varying shades of brown/beige. I thought of having different flavors of cake for each color, but because of time, I ended up using just one flavor. It worked out because I was able to say that even though they all look different, they're all the same inside - how symbolic!!!

I was also going to make some petit-fours which turned out to be an #epicfail! not so much the cake itself, but the coating, I still have yet to figure out how to get a good poured fondant! So I ended up taking the cake originally planned for the petit-fours, and made more cake truffles. And for those that wanted something besides chocolate, I made some lemon bars as well. The Chu On Cakes spread was joined by appetizers from KAY Catering, and some chocolate covered strawberries.
