★ A dessert with zero calories (and lots of pins)

This pin cushion is inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Central Florida, The Glass Knife. It’s where I want to go for every special occasion or brunch with the girls, and my first recommendation to anyone with a sweet tooth. This little dessert is my homage to a place that fills my belly and my soul.

It’s a cute little dessert that holds your pins right where you need them, with a touch of gold makeup for that fancy bakery shine.
