Slow down and Taste the Sweet Life



I am such a Huge fan of artist Cedric Smith.
His work speaks to me in a way that is hard
to explain. His mixed media paintings are
simply amazing.

So when he came to deliver this wonderful piece
today, I just couldn't stop looking at it. I was
beside myself with a realization of an artist
connecting with me and my vision of our bakery.

Cedric is a gentle confident artist with a wonderful
talent and vision. His work is engaging, historic
and cutting edge with a flair of Americana.

What can I say, I am deeply honored and touched
by his generous gift of depicting Back in the Day
Bakery in this one of a kind painting.

Thank you Cedric for being a great person and
a super talent that is now a part of my life.

Check out his other work here including
a wonderful photograph of one of my
baby cakes.
