We all have dreams. Yours include incorporating the siesta into the American workday, having Angelina Jolie’s body, and banishing adult acne from the planet.

The hard part is making them a reality.

But for Shinmin Li, turning her dreams into something real was a piece of cake. Literally. As the proprietor of I Dream of Cake, Li creates darling, delicious confections in unique, unusual forms. She specializes in wedding cakes, but welcomes requests that put her visual arts training to the test. Love Miss Piggy? With Li on the job, you can have her for dessert. Need a surprise for your impossibly stylish pal? Let Li serve up a Birkin replica that’s sweeter (and a helluva lot cheaper) than the original.

Li will also tailor her ingredients to your whims. Hate marzipan? She’ll happily use rolled fondant. Picky about produce? She’ll use 100 percent organic. Before you know it, you won’t be able to plan a single event without her.

Because dreams are important.

But reality, in this case, is even sweeter.
