Puebla-style, Mexico blouse
My husband and I recently helped to host a party for a young couple about to be married. The theme was Mexican Christmas. The Puebla style of embroidery is popular in our area of deep south Texas. They are made in the state of Puebla in the Mexico. The stitching is always bright and colorful. A young friend of the bride's took this idea and made a beautiful cake with this theme in mind.
I think this is the most uniquely decorated cake for this type of party that I have ever seen. I just had to share this with you.
The picture of the blouse comes from the La Mariposa site
