Looking at Nevie Pie’s edible ashtray (of our Kerrang! Awards fame) and feeling massively inspired for an Ad Fab high tea – let’s face it Patsy would love it…
Hmmm so what else to include…
VODKA JELLY SHOTS
OTT Cupcakes like these from C&D
Cocaine Cake as given to Lindsey Lohan
Drugs cupcakes
Remember when Edwina had a pet dolphin?..
Cupcake in a martini glass
Fairy
Camera cookie from Cookie Boy
12th scale Dollhouse miniature food from Little Time Wasters – totally obsessed with this glorious happy inducing miniature awesomeness such as the chocolate shop contents…
Here are a few snap shots from the ‘Monster Food’ experience I created for the website launch party of the Hoxton Street Monster Supplies launch party today… This was THE BOGEY BAR (cupcakes were commissioned from Crumbs & Doilies). Thanks to The Flippers for thinking of me for this project!
More images to follow but I think my favourite creation was the DRIED FAIRY BRAINS (dried figs with pearlescent food spray and LOTS of glitter). In case you were wondering the lighting was green (as at all the best monster parties)!

'Bug' Punch - thanks & love to Bompas & Parr for punch bowl loan

I am a massive fan of these Van Gogh cakes but that is mainly down to the colours so I guess I need to credit the artist himself, not the cake makers for that. OK so if I had to choose I would say that the cupcakes featured in the gallery (and again above) are the absolute stand out winners for me as they are an original / different interpretation of the Van Gogh piece.
You may, or indeed may not, have noticed that things have been a bit quiet on the blogging front. I am snowed under with the Silent Hill cake installation, and of course Cakey Perry. I promise to get better!
Anyway here is a preview of some of the artwork from Cakey Perry by the amazing Thefty. I can’t decide if to show the gummy bear giving the finger or not – to be honest the pixelation just really amuses me…

We’ve been asked to work on the Alice Cooper freak show auditions in a few weeks, as well as provide general entertainment and perform. We’ll keep the precise details under wraps for now (I know my big brother reads this blog and reports back to the rest of my family in Southampton – hello Michael) but I can reveal it will be Silent Hill themed (oh & that I’ll be wearing the Prangsta frilly pants that seemed to go down well at the Kerrang! Awards too).
Kiss & Bake Up have come up trumps already so I am delighted to share the first samples of her awesome cake pops which will form part of the table (the final versions will have hinges and sharper edges). I love these on their own of course but the entire edible display, featuring work from the likes of Mamma Jamma Cakes, is going to freak the f**k out of everyone. Yay!
Metal Cakes is an amazing cupcake blog featuring recipes inspired by “all things brutal” – I can’t encourage you to visit the site enough and below are some of my top picks.
Watain: Sworn to the Cake
Black Breath: Raspberries to Oblivion
Pentagram: Live Free and Bake
Wee Cakes of the Snowgoat
Vader: Lord of Dessert
Bathory: Baptized in Fire and Frosting
Who could forget Holly Andrews AMAZING and VERY rude cupcakes? Well here are Blow job cupcakes II – made by (I need to check first if I can name them), following the original design from Holly.
It’s the simplicity of this idea that made me fall in love with it – A Manly Cupcake Competition (some entries shown below) that takes place in Movember. Who can make the most manly cupcake out there? Something that can not be mentioned without referencing The Butch Bakery of course – cupcakes made for men by men.
