Sweet Art: Poise for Illustration Friday

poise [pronounced poiz] / noun /  dignified, self-confident manner or bearing; composure; self-possession: to show poise in company.

If ever there were a cake to embody the idea of this week's Illustration Friday theme of poise, it's got to be the Princess Cake. Regal and lovely, it's somehow not too showy; while it may not be a cake that is especially easy to make, when it does get made for special occasions, it's delicious enough to appeal to a variety of appetites; it's truly the people's princess (cake).

Never heard of a Princess Cake but now that I've seen her, I can't say I'd be able to eat any of it! =) What a cute illustration with her loyal subjects.

I've been obsessed with the princess cake ever since I fell in love with a Swedish boy, but I've never actually made one. I do love this artwork, though!
