I was bummed to miss the Cherry Blossom festival this year, so in honor of the season I made some Japanese lantern cookies that will hopefully brighten everyone's day. The kanji symbols are Peace, Happiness and Tranquility. I also hand-painted a couple of landscapes of Mt. Fuji, Yasaka Pagoda and a defiant Geisha girl that refuses to bow or follow traditional customs or rules. Bad Asian girls hold a special place in my heart.
Gingerbread acorn cookies for my Thanksgiving dinner guests. Hand-piped royal icing swags painted with edible gold, with a hand-painted silver base adorned with edible silver leaf. All my Thanksgiving dinner guests receive parting gifts, and this was the cookie I designed for them.
The Devil may wear Prada, but it’s all about Pink Passion and Leopard Lace naughtiness in the kitchens of FIRE and ICING. These buxom beauties are sure to be a hit at any party. Just don’t forget to leave a tip.
A cornucopia of simple fruit with flavored royal icing to match each one. A fun project for a local event and competition.
Sugar cookies for an electric winter somewhere in a magical, rainbow-charged forest. One bite, and you’ll be Sunburst and Snowblind.
Keith Haring - The Political Line (deYoung Museum, San Francisco, 2015)
Sugar cookies made for the curators of the Keith Haring exhibit at the deYoung Museum in San Francisco and NYC.. I modeled these cookies after some of Keith Haring's more prolific paintings and images. A truly wonderful and nostalgic exhibit, indeed. This was my sweet homage to a wonderful and iconic artist.
Hand-piped royal icing sugar crowns adorn these delicate English sugar cookies. Biscuits solely for the noblest of the noble, when only the finest will do. King George V sends his love and approval.
Gayatri Yantra, Padma (Lotus Flower), The Water Hamsa, Ankusha (Ganesha's Goad), The Tripundra (Three-Striped Bindi), The Trishula (Shiva's Trident), Lord Ganesha, Om - these all comprise some of the most iconic symbols of empowerment in the Hindu religion. These cookies were designed for a VIP benefit event in NYC to raise awareness of, and inspire empowerment in, women through the art of self-defense that have fallen victim to violence.
