Mayer Rosales, of Mayer’s Cakes, gave us a little more insight into her cake featured in the March/April 2016 issue Showcase.
“From the very first moment that Rebekah [Wilbur] told me about this collaboration I immediately thought about Leyre Valiente and her great variety of designs. I personally know her and that makes me admire her both as an artist and as a businesswoman, which makes my piece full of inspiration from Valiente. I couldn’t make up my mind between two of her collections: ‘Nostromo’ and ‘Chimaera.’ In the end I chose a dress from ‘Chimaera’ and a jewelry piece from ‘Nostromo.’ It was a big challenge for me to take on this piece. On the one hand I usually don’t do these kind of big pieces, and on the other I wanted everyone to like it, but especially the amazing designer that inspired me.”
