Night of the living dead cupcakes!!!!

Oh my goodness I have the most exciting news I am going to  be an extra on a film.

But not just any film, a Zombie film!!!!

It has been a life long dream of mine to be on the set of a real zombie film and i can hardly contain my excitement.

In fact i got so excited i have baked the cast and crew a few gory cupcakes.

I've dyed the cupcakes blue and green

 and filled them full of blood (jam) and puss (lemon curd)

More photos of me as a zombie to follow.

Frockalishious!!

I've been collecting vintage sewing patterns from the 60's and 70's for quite a few years now 

and I'm slowly getting round to making them up.

Here's a couple of summer frocks i whipped up a couple of months ago.

There's plenty more where that came from i'll get them photographed and put up soon.....

Robot In Diguise (as a cake)!

Don't you just love it when you come across something you completely forgot about?

Just last night i was going through some old photos and found a cake that my mum and I baked a couple of years ago for my nephew.

I think this may have been the start of my obsession with making novelty cakes for everyones birthday regardless if they actually want one or not haha.

A Reason To Play With Your Food

Hi guys so last weekend i was helping out at an open day at Badger Press.

Trying to entice people to come down and take a look at the courses

they offer:

 http://badgerpress.org/blog/courses/

And to help lure people down I baked some extra special cupcakes

Everyone seemed to enjoy getting tashtastic!

Inside they had a secret blob of extra nutty chocolate spread.

Im not sure if anyone signed up for a course but all the cupcakes 

got eaten so I was happy

Stop That!!

Lately I seem to be going into a sewing frenzy 

so to feed my habit this weekend i made my brother, 

(Who is a massive fan of the skate make Toy Machine)

  This Ed Templeton inspired transistor sect monster plush toy/door stop.

Happily stuffed full of sand and fluff.

Prints AHOY!

Lately it has come to my attention that i've developed a slight addiction with 

mexican day of the dead skulls. 

Ive been working on some designs of my own and finally got round to screen printing one.

First attempt with a 3 colour print registration is not my friend

Sticking with one colour just seemed too easy so i tried rainbowing my paints

 and remembering to keep my squeegee the right way to avoid a marbling mess.

WOO HOO 

finished result not to blow my own trumpet but i'm pretty pleased with the result.
