“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”
Let them eat cake, the famous quote attributed to Marie Antoinette, the late 18 th century princess, wife of Louis XVI, and notorious queen of excess. When late Baroque style and glamour are being used in any creative project, she always comes into play with her famous quote.

I bake. Or more accurately, my daughters and I bake. A lot. We are huge fans of ‘The Great British Bake- Off’ and are constantly inspired to try new and crazy desserts. As a creative contributor for Synergy Design Firm, the team is very familiar with this obsession and often benefits from it at meetings and birthdays.
