Did you know that Marie Antoinette never said the famous frase: "Let them it cake"?
ReplyDeleteI heard it was pronounced by a certain duchess or countess or, somebody in Versailles belonging to the court several years before Marie Antoinette's arrival to France!!
This is great! The swirls make me think of VanGogh & The Scream by Edvard Munch.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly cut a cake this pretty!
