Cherry Topped Cake on a Plate Hand-Painted Limoges Box
A cake sits pretty on its plate with a single cherry crowning the top, ready for the first slice. This sweet scene was painted by hand on a porcelain Limoges box in Limoges, France, and it will never crumble or go stale.
The Cherry on Top
The cherry is the finishing touch every baker reaches for, and it gives this cake a festive, celebratory look. It brings to mind birthday parties, bakery windows and Sunday afternoon coffee with friends.

A Slice for the Birthday Girl
Display it on a kitchen hutch, a coffee bar or a dining room cabinet. It makes a charming birthday present, a thank-you for the friend who bakes for every occasion, or a congratulations for someone opening a bakery or cafe.
Dessert pieces are popular with collectors who enjoy a lighter, playful corner of Limoges, and a cake with a cherry is about as classic as sweets get. Group a few together and the shelf starts to look like a patisserie window.
