Anxieteam Cupcakes by Star Bakery
If Marie Antoinette told Anxieteam to “let them eat cake,” both band and audience would probably be well fed. Between the Burger Men cupcakes by Crumbs and Doilies and these by Nottingham’s Star Bakery for the picture disc release party, we’re not worried about anyone going hungry.
Burger Men Cupcakes by Crumbs and Doilies
How unfair to encounter this first thing in the morning! I blame you, Ken of Crumbs and Doilies! It seems that Crumbs and Doilies, the “spiritual home - or, at the very least, London pied à terre - of the cupcake” hooked up with Jon to create some doodled delicacies for this weekend’s Cake Britain show at the Future Gallery.
Sponsored by the good folk over at Tate and Lyle in celebration of their move to Fair Trade sugars a selection of the UK’s finest and funnest artists have come together with some of the country’s top bakers (and, er, us) to create the world’s first entirely edible exhibition. We paired up with illustrative supremo Jon Burgerman who was kind enough to provide us with this picture of some burger men (geddit?) as inspiration. A lot of baking, custom cupcake molds, sugarcrafting and a moderate amount of cursing later and here they are - Crumbs and Doilies x Jon Burgerman Burger Men!
This is all kinds of awesome from the edible art to the whimsical wrappers. I’ve come to understand that while we Americans may have the monopoly on hamburgers, the British truly understand cake. If you’re in the area, all proceeds go to charity.
Tea Bagging Burgerman
OK, I couldn’t resist this. When I read about these pop culture tea bags on the Jailbreak blog, I knew it was only a matter of time before I swapped out Pablo’s head for Jon’s. These fun teabags (almost seems like an oxymoron) hail from Hamburg through Donkey Products. You cannot (yet…) get a Burgerman teabag, but a whole host of exciting possibilities are available online here or in the UK where tea is like the national beverage or something, here.
Cappuccino Doodles
Immediately after ogling the handiwork of the Unknown Barista Doodler over at Doodlers Anonymous, I got a tip from re:Store’s JP directing me to some of Jon’s coffee doodles from his recent gig in Munich. See, no surface is safe. Today: turning cookie crumbs into smiles. Tomorrow: world peace. Lots more photos here. Thanks JP!
