After my talented cake designer friend, Abigail Lodevico told me about the awesome opportunity to create a fun dessert table for WeLoveLB.org, I was ecstatic to collaborate with her to create a wonderful "cake city" honoring our favorite city, Long Beach! The event would take place at 2nd City Council Art Gallery in Downtown Long Beach. We were excited to partake in the event and help our favorite city and the community!
We Love LB is a non profit organization in Long Beach created to help build relationships and networks within the city, as well as serve the people and neighborhoods of Long Beach.
Abigail and I decided to recreate the 9 districts of our beloved Long Beach (we were inspired by the circle dot map on the site!) with cupcakes topped with distinguishing landmarks, symbols, neighborhoods and streets, that put Long Beach on the map!
Because Long Beach is big on keeping our planet healthy by "being GREEN" with promoting recycling and biking, we had a wonderful time creating the recycled "cake city"! Our cake city was mainly created by reusable and recyclable materials from The Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse, which is an awesome place for all your crafters and recyclable creatives! Thank you to the wonderful people at The Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse for supporting us in honoring our beloved Long Beach!
Special thank you to We Love LB for allowing us this amazing opportunity to create a cake city table honoring the great city of Long Beach!
A wonderful thank you to our wonderful and talented friend, Ellie, who took amazing shots of all the cake city details and the gallery! Please check out her work, she is amazing!
A BIG thank you to my talented cake designer friend, Abigail for being amazing to work with again. We did it sister!
Lastly, it was a wonderful honor and amazing opportunity to meet the founders, organizations and people behind the scenes of We Love LB! We had an awesome time meeting both Long Beach natives and lovers.
Goooo Beach!
