BEST TIME OF MY LIFE - 12.5 x 15.5 Framed Mixed Media on Canvas

THE TREASURE CAKE COLLECTION

The cake is not only about the person it’s made for — it’s about the hands that baked it, the hearts that gathered, and the love that made the moment worth celebrating. A cake is a gesture of togetherness, a way of saying: you matter enough for us to show up and make something beautiful for you. And when the cake is gone, what remains is the memory — tucked tenderly into the treasure box of time.

These festive works were born from a pivotal life chapter and stand as symbols of resilience, remembrance, and the choice to celebrate no matter the circumstances.

Crafted one layer at a time, each element holds a secret — a memory of wonder, a prayer for joy. Vintage buttons recall how we adorn ourselves for special occasions. Old stamps speak to our longing to stay connected across distance. Glass beads, rhinestones, sprinkles, and other curios shimmer in homage to life’s pure revelry.

Beneath the glimmering surface, patience and repetition weave an alchemy that transforms shared moments — both grand and ordinary — into lasting beauty.

This collection is your invitation to remember that joy needs no permission. May these cakes remind us that celebration is not reserved for milestones, but for the miracle of being alive. 

Let us celebrate anyway.

Cheers,
Marianne
