Spring has sprung at iCafe Woman Moderne.
(Cafe tables along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees)
This is our version of Springtime in Paris.
A couture party dress hangs on a clothing form in an exclusive Paris salon. Stilletoes shine in a boutique vitrine (display window) along a shopping corridor in the 7th Arrondissement (district/neighborhood). And a zebra handbag would go great with a zebra trench coat worn strolling along the Left Bank.
Are your fashion taste buds salivating for more? Well, they should ... cake and chocolate tend to have that effect. These fashion sweets are made from flour and real chocolate.
Did you just do a double-scroll?
I don't blame you.
Yes, that's a party dress on a clothing form, but it's not in a Parisian salon. It may be a little sticky trying on, I wouldn't reccomend it. All edible, this yummy sour cream and orange zest cake filled with pistachio and white chocolate was created by the Pink Cake Box.
Chocolate Stilletoes that look like a boutique window display--a zebra handbag you can slice and have with a cup of coffee. It doesn't get any better than this.

Theodora here, I send you miracles and blessings from our diva-in-charge, Kiki. I'm a regular fixture at iCafe Woman Moderne, a virtual cafe inside a fictional Art Moderne (mid-century) home.
For you newbies, Kiki is the owner of iCafe Woman Moderne, where inter-generational women can just be. A place where men can occasionally drop in and see our world with crystal clarity, after they lose their rose-colored shades.
Kiki thought I should handle this text-webisode since I'm a handbag and shoe designer. Unfortunately, I don't design them in chocolate and cake. But that could change.
I know many of you can't indulge in chocolate until Easter Sunday, but this roundup will give you something to look forward to, or make an event you're planning extra special. Especially if you're planning a Spring wedding, celebrating a big birthday for yourself or a friend, or throwing a girlfriends' tea.
(little black dress cookies - by Donna Makes Cakes
Chocolate and Cake just seems to go hand-in-hand with fashion. This makes sense. Fashion is a feast for the eyes--chocolate, cake and cookies are a feast for the tummy ... hand-in-hand.
CHOCOLATE/CAKE PSYCHOLOGY 101
They make you feel good when you're having a yucky day. Just let someone slip you a chocolate truffle at work after your computer crashes, you'll be grinning seconds later, savoring your chocolate moment. Bite into a cookie in the shape of a little black dress when you're seated next to a woman who almost made you pull out your hair when you co-chaired an event together.
And if you're that all-important wedding planner, try munching on a mini handbag cake favor, while you track down that lost tuxedo an hour before the wedding. Not only are edible fashions great to look at, they can save your sanity during one of life's chaotic moments.
