[shaking head] These candy, foolish ladies.
In actuality, these photographs are extra like “tips.” A springboard, if you’ll, from which the baker might or might not spring – after which into heretofore unheard-of realms of inventive “expression.”
Maybe some examples will assist.

As a substitute, she obtained this:
“It is boxy, and it is blue and white. What extra would you like?”

Which her baker recreated fairly nicely, apart from one key element:
They used actual flowers as a substitute of sugar ones.

P.S. I attempt to solely hyperlink issues I truly buy and love myself, and y’all, I’ve THREE of those in our home:
LEVOIT Air Purifier, True HEPA
I’ve tried so many air purifiers over time, and this Levoit is hands-down the very best I’ve discovered. It is available in black or white, is the scale of a small waste basket, has an invisible management show, and is splendidly quiet even on Medium. It additionally has the best, most satisfying filter to wash: simply flip it over, twist off the underside, and elevate out the massive drum. We now have cats and an previous home, so each two weeks I exploit a mud buster to hoover a superb quarter inch of mud off that drum filter, and ermigersh, SO SATISFYING.
In contrast to huge tower purifiers these are straightforward to tuck into small areas. You probably have mud allergy symptoms I extremely suggest one to your bed room! That is what we began with, and now I’ve added two extra in our front room and again sport room.
