Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. 

So, I had to eat him.

I've been baking some nursery rhyme and storybook sweets this week for a baby shower on Saturday. (More photos to come. Lots. More. Photos.)

It seemed a shame to crack this little egg-shaped Humpty Dumpty macaron for a photo. But, as the story goes..... all the kings horses, and all the kings men, couldn't put Humpty together again.

Pecha Kucha

Guzuntight! 

Wait.... what?

I participated in my first Pecha Kucha today at an AIGA luncheon in Old Town. Pecha Kucha is a presentation methodology in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each - allowing the speaker 6 minutes and 40 seconds to present their topic. There were five of us who spoke and about 50 people attending the luncheon.

Today's topic: How do you spend your free time when you're not at the office?

My presentation: Edible Art (of course)

I was terribly nervous. Mostly because public speaking is my worst fear - right up there with showing up at a party naked and death. But it went better than I expected & faster than I had rehearsed.

And when it was all over, I had treats to share (of course.)

Since the group was mostly designers and creatives, I decided to make X-acto knife cookies. I made them out of chocolate candy melts, Tootsie Rolls and Pepperidge Farm Pirouette Rolled Wafers. Delicous. I should know, I ate about 14 of them that had cracked or broken during the assembly process.
