A Painted Easter

I was honored to be a part of an international group of sugar artists in a cake collaboration celebrating Easter.  Everyone had to hand-paint cakes, cookies, fondant, etc. and include a hidden Easter egg in each piece.  Please join me and view the video here:

Here are the cookies I submitted.  They are gingerbread with royal icing, and royal icing animals.  They were hand-painted with Rainbow Dust Metallic Edible Food Paints and food coloring.  

Celebrating 50 Years of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

As a young child, I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was enthralled by the incredible imagination of Roald Dahl.  The book is now 50 years old, and cake artists worldwide came together to celebrate the anniversary as only they can - with cakes, cookies, and edible sculptures. 

I was thrilled to be a part of this special collaboration.   For my selection, I presented hand-painted shortbread cookies featuring Charlie Bucket (as depicted in Quentin Blake's original story artwork) and Augustus Gloop (looking rather like an obese Dennis the Menace).  The cookies were decorated with royal icing and edible food paints.
