So It Begins

Well here I am, another food blog. Why did I start a second one and why not on my personal website this time? A couple of reasons but the main was I can get better exposure here and interact more with other than on my private site and blog. That and I am trying to pull my sweet treats away from the rest of my artistic endeavors, let them stand on their own.

Anywho, I hope to showcase various sweet treats I have and will be making in the future. I felt this was the best time since the Holiday season will be kicking off in the Gibson home this next week with my daughters birthday. Going to be a lot of upcoming cakes, cookies and other various sweet treats, including pictures of the process I go through to make a lot of this stuff and I hope some tutorials! So stay tuned and keep you eye out for upcoming Surreal Confections.

If you would like to add that, just follow the pictures and add one yourself, it is rather simple to do....After you have followed the basic steps on the other website to construct your map, follow with these steps before folding anything. First cut the inside map to fold outward. I did this on a hard surface with a razor blade to get clean lines and not tear the paper.  Then simply fold out the cent...

Quick Update

Hình ảnh
Well, thanks to a few things coming through I am now dabbling in the edible images department. I started out by ordering a few and now am printing my own. YAY! I love it! For many it would be a quick and easy way to add zest, and for me it is as well, but more than that. Now I can take all those digital art works I create and make them even better by making them sweet!!!! Oh I cannot wait! Birthdays are huge in the months of April and May for my family down in Albany, and not to mention mothers day. So I will be diving head deep into some fun stuff this week and shipping is down to them! So, be on the look out! "Cherish" is just the first of many!
