In the Land of Cupcakes.

What is it about cupcakes.... that make them so sinfully good? The super moist cake... so rich and flavorsome. The velvety smooth whipped frosting... with all the added gourmet fufu toppings. What ever it may be .... CUPCAKES whether mini or large.... are just devine heavenly goodness.
Two local bakeries.... Nom Nom's and Just Baked.... are a wonderful place to satisfy your cravings and a wonderful place for inspiration at least in my mind. With that being said.... here is a delicious work in progress peek of my latest creations being cooked up in my studio. This cupcake is for sure going to be SWEET and TWISTED!
Until the next my fellow sweet tooths.... Heather

Happy Thursday!
I have another NEW  Sweet and Twisted Treat for you!

For the past few months I have been working on a sinfully sweet NEW Art Collection called TWISTED SUGAR ART! I'd like introduce you to "Chantal" Absynthe Poison Pop... my 3rd installment to my new tantalizing collection.

I really  enjoyed   creating this  darker  Twisted Sugar Piece. For those of you not familiar  with  Absinthe.....
Absinthe  is historically described as a distilled highly alcholic  beverage. It is an anise flavoured  spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of . "grand wormwood"), together with green  anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green colour but may also be colourless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the green fairy). Although it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liquer, absinthe is not traditionally bottled with added sugar, and is therefore classified as a spirit. Absinthe is traditionally bottled at a high level of , but is normally diluted with water prior to being consumed.
Traditionally, absinthe is prepared by placing a sugar cube on top of a specially designed splotted spoon, and then placing the spoon on the glass which has been filled with a measure of absinthe. Iced water is then poured or dripped over the sugar cube in a manner whereby the water is slowly and evenly displaced into the absinthe, such that the final preparation contains 1 part absinthe and 3-5 parts water.

In my  work of   art.. the  sugar  cube is the  tantalizing Poison Pop herself.

My Twisted Sugar Absynthe  "Chantal" Poison Pop is now available for sale.. Enjoy and here is the link....

Art... So Sweet and Twisted.

An  artist's mind.
Constantly evolves.

A spark ignites.
A dream. A song. Nature's beating heart.  A fragrance. A tantalizing delicacy.

Etching the Mind. Piercing the Soul.

The Hand. The Brushes. The Paints.
A Visual Symphony.

A Delectable Treat.

Sweet. Twisted.
