Happy day Dad.

In Australia and a bunch of other countries it’s Father’s Day today! Happy day to all the fathers over the world, and also love to those with fathers who aren’t here.

I made my Dad a cupcake diorama displaying his little boat “Bite me” in a choppy ocean. Of course there are some inaccuracies. [...]

It’s still Friday somewhere in the world

One of my favourite artists is Alphonse Mucha, and if you thought this poster looked a lot like his work you’ll be interested to know about Manuel Orazi – the designer of this poster. I love the detail in this, particularly the jewels on the neck of her dress. Gorgeous! Art Nouveau cigarette [...]

Friday Fance: In the schmick of time

On 2 April, 2010 · 7 Comments · In Fancy

I’m curious to know if “schmick” is a word that lots of people use, or if it’s just common to Brisbane. I call things that are fancy and awesome and good looking “schmick” and all my friends and family get it and use it too. Sometimes I call Nick “Schmick” because well, he is. Recently, [...]

It seems heaps of people are getting in to MasterChef Australia and I try to watch it every few nights just to see if they’re being taught any new recipes, but often I completely forget. Despite this the show has inspired me to cook more desserty style dishes. I’ve been perfecting [...]

Thanks for being awesome and stuff.

On 10 May, 2009 · 2 Comments · In A Beautiful Life

I have discovered that a big part of what I do involves buttloads of time and love. People must think I’m crazy for spending hours drawing tiny lines or baking things from scratch, but it’s one of the only ways my primitive consciousness knows how [...]

Eat, Sleep, Cupcake!

On 6 May, 2009 · 1 Comment · In food

I bought the domain eatsleepcupcake.com to start a group authored cupcake tumblr – for people who make cupcakes and like to show them off. Unfortunately I failed to realise that the submission tool used around tumblr is only for private beta testers, not for me, so my [...]

If I had a cupcake shop…

On 14 April, 2009 · 6 Comments · In Design

If I had a cupcake shop, I would have so much fun designing the packaging. Actually, I don’t want to own a cupcake shop really… I just want to design fun stuff. So I guess I’m in the perfect job already. [...]

Today I went to a cupcake picnic, organised by the lovely @shique! We got to sample one from The Cupcake Parlour and another from Poppy Cakes. The cupcake I had from The Cupcake Parlour was a vanilla with this blobby blue icing, [...]

When words fail, there are cupcakes…

On 1 July, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In A Beautiful Life

Lately I have been pretty busy and preoccupied with other things, and I feel bad that I have neglected my bloggerly duties. Sometimes, you get into funks and just don’t know what to write about! I am a very visual person, and often I [...]
