“The pattern of pillow cover is inpired by of one of the two side sections of the enormous carpet used in the Throne Room of the Tuileries during the Empire period, of which only a few fragments survive at the Mobilier National.
This carpet, probably rewoven to decorate one of the Imperial residences, was offered by Napoleon to the King of Saxony, Frederick-Augustus 1st (1750-1827), during his visit to Paris in December 1809. It is the only carpet from the Imperial period to have retained its Napoleonic emblems.”

“The name Cake Opera Co. came to me in two ways…Opera, the Italian word for “life work” or opus seemed fitting at the time I was developing my company. Designing and creating exquisite cakes was the perfect marriage of my life long passion for the art and baking. Also, the word “cake” is so unpretentious and lovely while the word “Opera” is so theatrical and vibrant. Together they seem to conjure up a beautiful synthesis of magic and enchantment.” -
