A two-act ballet titled "Whipped Cream" premiered at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California, in March 2017, for which Ryden developed costumes and sets. The ballet was created by world-renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky for the American Ballet Theatre. It is a story about a young boy who overindulges at a Vienna pastry shop and falls into a surreal delirium. With libretto and music by Richard Strauss, the ballet, originally titled "Schlagobers", was first performed by the Vienna State Opera in 1924.
