Edible Art

As I mentioned a few blogs ago... cooking and baking is another passion of mine. I thought about making a separate blog completely but really it is an art form... it's just art that's meant to be temporary. And really it's rather soothing to do. So I thought I'd share them with you. All of them are made from scratch (my frosting is a swiss style butter cream recipe) with the exception of the fondant; and this summer I have had an obsession with "checker boarding" (and no I don't have a checker boarding pan... I just cut them myself from two separate cakes).

Mocha and vanilla cinnamon (Tardis "Doctor Who" Cake)

Doctor Who Tardis Cake for a friend

Strawberry cake version 1 (family reunion at my best friend parent's house)

The strawberry cake... the black/purpler is just food coloring

Strawberry cake version 2 (friends birthday)

So those are the cakes I have done over the past few months. I have cupcakes to make for Saturday (sour cream chocolate with peanut butter cream cheese frosting). I have another cake to do in about two weeks. My birthday cake lol. It will be a carrot cake themed as World of Warcraft: Mists of Panderia (which releases on the 25th). Then I have one for early November.

For people that know me and live locally (or individuals in general who live locally), I will take cakes, cupcakes, and cookies... as commissions gig (if given ample notice and deposit).

At some point, I might sell cookies online (meaning shippable) through my etsy... I'm undecided... but I've been playing around with the idea and some ideas for geek themed ones.


Art update

These are just some of the other art projects I have been doing the past few most (I didn't post all of them by and stretch but it's some of them).


Commission for "Arctic Boar" (BBQ sauce labels)

"Party Animals" (meerkat 1 of 9) Collab project with my uncle for quilt patterns. He is a successful fabric artist and wants to sell pattern sets which will work well but doesn't have the time to come up with designs. So I'll be drawing them and he will be making the demos and patterns.

"Little Ones" (Gnome 1 of 9) Collab project with my uncle for quilt patterns. He is a successful fabric artist and wants to sell pattern sets which will work well but doesn't have the time to come up with designs. So I'll be drawing them and he will be making the demos and patterns.

for someone on FA

Surprise finally something for myself (when was the last time I did something for myself... ???). I'm hopefully getting a new phone when my contract expires so this was an idea for the possible casing.
