My favorite season is definitely spring. Autumn comes a close second. But honestly, I love them all, each brings something to look forward to in the year.
Looking around for inspiration for this display cake, all I needed to do was look outside, and ask myself what I saw in the season of spring. I noticed that not everything was in full bloom, yet. Tree branches still had red, rusty leaves from fall/winter that is barely hanging onto dear life. (Notice those red autumn leaves on the cake!) And at the same time, you have new and fresh blooms emerging.
For many of us, fall/winter symbolizes hardship, cold, hibernation, sleep, rest, and in cases, death (of course, fun and Christmas wonder, too!); whereas stepping into the summer is about being alive, warm, abundance, energetic, fertility, and life. What I really really love about spring is her ability to create space for both. Space for bot the hardship AND joy. Space for life AND death. For warmth AND cold. Beauty AND decay. I love spring for this—its capacity to embrace and make space for all things is enthralling. It’s about acceptance—the transitioning and metamorphosis between the two—and she does it ever so gracefully.
Have a gorgeous spring day to all 🤍
