Blooming Brownie

Inspiration from my friend M1 has led me to my latest project.

Using my computer, I copied and pasted images from the internet into a Word document. Then I printed all on heavy photo paper and cut the shapes of each image. I affixed the cutouts to wrapped brownie squares. I used two-sided foam tape for sure adhesion.

Ready for transport! These brownies were a gift to the members of my son's Honor band. The kids loved them, and I'm sure the parents are thanking me for the 9:00 P.M. sugar jolt I provided to their tweens.


My next project was providing an edible centerpiece for a casual teacher's luncheon at the local elementary school.

More brownies, wrapped and ready for transport.

I also made oversized cookies and placed each one in food-safe polypropylene bag.

Looks like a brownie, but it is a brown piece of fabric that I wrapped so I could properly estimate the final size of each pansy. Redneck prototype.

Pansies are glittered and drying, awaiting their turn to be affixed to a brownie.

Glitter is applied to selected areas of the pansy photo. Use the same color glitter as the undercolor of the photo.

Work in progress (Glass of wine not part of final project).

All done, ready to go.
Thank you, M1.
