If you follow me on Instagram (@lansdownelife), you probably have noticed the new photo project we’ve started for 2014.
St. Louis turned 250 this year, and to celebrate, the city is placing 250 birthday cake sculptures all around the metro area at significant locations, each painted by different artists. It’s part public art, party history lesson, and part scavenger hunt.
It started out innocently enough when we ran across our first cake. Then our second. But Elise is obsessed with cooking and baking. She loves the Food Network and grocery stores. And when she grows up, she’ll tell you she wants to be a baker. Cakes are her thing. So as the weather has warmed, we have started cake hunting in earnest. We’re lucky the vast majority of them are within 20 minutes of our house!
So far, we’ve found 51 cakes (20%!), and we’re still hunting. We may not get to all of them, but we have all year to try!
