The painting in the invite is Spanish Dancer (Woman) by John Singer Sargent. As for the cake, it was tasty, but I do not have any pictures to show. If you're curious, I got the recipe from the wonderful new book, All Cakes Considered.

The King of Pop...

cake that I made for the opening of my close friend's new gallery show.



The cake: two layers of devil's food cake with a glaze of raspberry preserves and chocolate ganache between them. The whole lot was frosted in more ganache and decorated with a silhouette of MJ hand-painted in gold luster dust as well as a single star of gold sanding sugar.



The show is brilliant*, and will up through October at Figureworks Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Alas, all of the cake is long digested.
Check out his facebook page for more info and pictures.

*and I'm not just saying that since he's a friend of mine. Even Spike Lee payed an appreciative, lengthy visit!
