We were delighted to be asked to work with Torture Garden on the freaky food element of the Kerrang! Awards again this year – the theme was Tudor royalty / feasts and Natasha Collins nailed the ideas (as normal). Between rushing off to am emergency dentist (as soon as this post is written) and my killer hangover (only thing masking the main my tooth nerve is exposed OUCH) I shall keep this short and sweet (no pun intended).
Chicken Feet Cake Pops from Miss Insomnia Tulip – dressed with edible flowers
Chocolate Snails from Cakes for Breakfast
Chris (from Cakes fir Breakfast) also made some frog spawn – lemon jelly injected with chocolate served on wooden spoons
Natasha styled the snails with ‘soil’ and crystallised edible flowers
Natasha hand painted some fish cookies which where then nestled inside gold bread (I think she is addicted to gold food spray)
The Cake Conjurer made the ever awesome ‘cakes in eggs’ – this time dying the eggs green for an unsettling & rotten Tudor feel
Head of the roasted swan cake made by the Cake Conjurer – see dedicated post for more detail. Gave this to a friend to eat on the night (bet he didn’t)!
More of Natasha’s fish cookies – super tasty gingerbread base
Natasha also made larger fish cookies of ‘eaten’ fish nestled on edible flowers, salt (popping candy) and salad leaves (explaining why a few snails also crept in)
These freak me out – ‘Fingers’ from the Cake Conjurer
(shudder)
More of Natasha’s fish cookies in the light used for the event
