]]>Like the rest of the desserts in her extensive portfolio, these cakes require incredible attention to detail. It takes her about two hours to decorate each one, and she uses a meticulous piping technique to accomplish this goal.
Jones-Mann always adored the design of ‘60s and ‘70s, and inspiration from her signature cakes came from a very unusual place. Retro shag rugs won her over with their fuzzy texture, and she couldn’t resist but try to recreate it in cake form.
The final result was truly incredible, and each of her shag rug cakes allowed her to try something different and grow as an artist. She uses different colors and patterns with all her cakes, so they’re all one of a kind.
Cake subtly inspired by Oaxacan embroidery and cookies frosted with the otomi patterns that come from Hidalgo. Growing up so close to Mexico, its traditions, art, and culture have always been a huge inspiration to me. It’s a country I love with all my heart, and I’m so appreciative for the influence it’s had – and continues to have – on me. Thank you @annabelmehran for having me make these (and for that second photo I stole from you)!
