GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT!

HAVE YOUR CAKE AND WEAR IT, TOO!

An unlikely pair, food and fashion sometimes DO go hand in hand. Here are some tongue-in-chic designs that will really make you salivate!


There are two ways to approach this oddball pairing.


  1. First, make your favorite confection wearable (not literally! I will not be including links in this posting of CoutureCarrie for edible undies here, gals--c'mon!).
  2. Alternatively, turn your favorite item of clothing into a delectable treat. I am a HUGE cake fan (meaning that I enjoy Black Forest and White Chocolate Mousse, not that I myself am large - beware the danger of misplaced modifiers!). In fact, I have been known to forgo dinner in favor of a sublime sweet from Magnolia or Sprinkles.

Whether it’s a a confectionery clutch (see Judith Leiber’s Cupcake Clutch above, available at bergdorfgoodman.com – delish!), or a Designer shoe-box tower (courtesy Ron Ben-Israel Cakes in Manhattan), it is totally tantalizing to mix media!!


Bon Appetit, darlings!
