AnOther showpiece – a piece of cake

After making the individual parts in Berlin I flew the whole thing over to London and after 2 manic- frantic fondant icing rolling days the cake was finished and installed at Selfridges.

Quite proud of the psychedelic fondant marbling. Felt incredible intimated by the fellow cake- makes real professional – it didn’t help that AnOther billed it as 10 of the world’s best cake makers. Now that is a lot of spin on my humble cheesecake. :)

The original masterplan.

Very inspired to make more edible cake sculptures. An alternative Royal Wedding cake is in planning.

Eating the Designer@Selfridges

The wonderful Annie Nicholl asked me to take part in Another Magazines 10th Birthday celebration at Selfridges.

They asked 10 Fashion Designers ( think Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Lanvin, Missoni…) to team up with 10 Food Creatives. ( think Bompass & Parr, Mark Hix and me?????)

I was given Missoni after Christian Louboutin had what gay shoe designers have apparently all the time in order to stay sharp – a strop. And didn’t wanted anything to do with Selfridges, Another Magazine and me. Well at least that was communicated though his press assistant number 3 to the press assistant number 36 at Another Magazine.

That leaves me colour mixing and marbling for Missoni
