Meet HOLLY CAKES!



















I would like the world to meet Holly Cakes! She is the main character in a children's book series I am creating. She is a very confident, quirky, 8 year-old girl who owns a bakery in Manhattan. The story revolves around Holly and her super cool cat T-Cup who is never without his shades, chain, and old-school boom box. Holly's best friend and most frequent customer at the bakery is Eddie, who has a super sweet tooth. Eddie's dog Butch is a lovely little lady who wears a pink tutu and is constantly pining after the uber cool T-Cup.

The idea for Holly Cakes came from a friend and former co-worker of mine at EF. During a team meeting one Monday morning, Holly shared with us an adorable story about how all the kids in her elementary school days called the cakes her mother baked "Holly Cakes". I couldn't get over how cute the name was and it spurred a bunch of creative ideas. THANK YOU HOLLY!

Stay tuned for more Holly Cakes to come!

  1. I made this comment before but it didn't save...

    I have some questions regarding your creation.

    1) How does the cat carry the boom box if it is bigger than him?
    2) How do they feel down south about inter-species dating ala Butch and T-Cup?
    3) Where did Holly procure the funds as an 8 year old to open this bakery and would her wealthy financial backer like to take on a loan-ridden medical student?
    4) Why are your illustrations so cute?

    That is all.
