Cupcakes for a Cure




Check out the set of a giant pink balloon bouquet we built and installed at the Waldorf Astoria for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation benefit-featuring a performance by Elton John! We painted the containers for the cupcake shaped flower arrangements on all the dinner tables and we made a five foot high cupcake that Evelyn Lauder and Elton dragged onto the stage and blew out the giant candle on top! The cupcake had hand-carved foam frosting, hand-cut awareness ribbon "sprinkles" and a zig-zag MDF base covered in a giant cupcake wrapper.


All cupcakes were courtesy of Crumbs Bake Shop. We also set up the celebrity area with the step and repeats (the background behind the celeb lineup below), pink carpet, and provided the props for the silent auction items!

Race again the clock!




To celebrate Audemars Piguet's new line of high-tech Grand Prix chronographs, we created a drag race inspired window display for their 57th st. flagship.
