For her 30th birthday, Amy Stevens began baking cakes and decorating them to perfection. Color and pattern are two elements that she keeps exploring with each pastry.

Notes about project from the artist:

The confections Series started as a response to turning 30. It was a celebration of birthdays, cake, color, pattern, and obsessive absurdity. My original intent was to bake 30 birthday cakes for myself and photograph them. I didn’t quite make it to 30 cakes in time for my first show, but I sure got a lot of ideas from the first cakes. When I started the project, I not only had to learn how to shoot in a studio setting, but also how to bake and decorate cakes.
