I have a good friend at work, who is part time in my office, and spends the remainder of the time being creative for a living. (As opposed to me who is creative apparently only for make people fat through frequent cake feedings).
His work is brilliant, and I am exceptionally jealous of the ability to put a pen on paper, and not come up with something which could be mistaken for part of a Rorscharch test.
His birthday was last week, and of course I thought, well why not recreate his drawings on cake! A seemingly great idea, but when you pay attention to the Rorscharch remark, you will see where this was perhaps a foolish move. In order for me to complete this task, each cupcake took approximately 4 hours to complete... Not particularly economic on the time front then.
Stuart McGhee's original work can be seen on his website at www.stuartmcghee.com/ or on deviant art at http://stuartmcghee.deviantart.com/ the drawing which inspired my creations are his Bizimal collection ....
And after some painstaking, tracing and painting onto fondant circles, using various food colourings, sometimes mixed with a teeny bit of vodka to thin, here are my reproductions in cake form ...
