It's time to raise cain!

Come one, come all! Witness the unfolding of an abominable anthology of artful articles, a brand-new breed of the bizarre and bready, a curious collection of crafty cakes and confections, a dastardly, decadent den of desserts, an, um, eggy... effluvium of um... well, that sounds terrible. Thanks a lot, Microsoft Word thesaurus. Useless.

Aaaaaand now that I've properly introduced myself, let's get this started!

I'm going to begin by posting some older pictures of pieces I did in High School, and then I'll start mixing more recent stuff in.
These are the first three pieces I've got on Flickr and the first I'm stickin on my blog, so enjoy them!!!*


This skull cake was made for a Gothic Literature class... Nothing screams gothic lit like the juxtaposition of blossoming life and the decay of death.

A closeup of that tiny topper.


Made this for a metalhead friend of mine; while he was horror-struck by the wailing of those lost souls I imprisoned in my icing, he was also surprised by the smooth flavor of the hellfire that laced the ganache filling. Eternal torment! Yummy!


This is the Glutton. He is made of thirteen layers of cake sandwiching twelve layers of ganache and a vein or two of marzipan. The body is sculpted marzipan, hand-painted, and that little cake he's holding is a homemade, hand-dipped candied-citrus-peel fondant brushed with lustre dust. Unnecessarily complicated? You know it! Revolting and yet oddly endearing? Always, my friends.

That about wraps this post up. Stay tuned cuz I'll be updating often as I have only just entered the honeymoon phase of my blog-sperience. Don't worry; before you know it I'll be crusty and jaded and I'll only post to complain about how I don't have time to post anymore.

Welcome to my blog folks! It's gonna be... different.


*note: my exclamation points are menacing. Menacing!!! Please do not mistake them for the politely enthusiastic variety. Those guys are pansies.
Thx!
