Notable New Yorkers

 For important events, important cookies are needed, and these beautiful portraits of Notable New Yorkers were enjoyed this week by the New York Historical Society's inaugural event of the Cultural Medallions Program. It is an honor to be part of such an illustrious occasion, crafting art baked in the cookies of those who have truly changed, inspired and bettered the world!

 

 

Women's History Month

 

Susan B Anthony, also called The Mother Of Us All for her work as a leading suffragette! this hand painted portrait is about 9" tall and set against a cookie skyscape for her vision of a brighter future, one where women have the vote!  Let's make sure we do just just that! 

Swimming through Pisces <')))>{

Some fish inspired cookies in homage to Magritte, fish and the beauty of water as portrayed in confection.

Aquarius on the Cookie Calendar

 Way into deep February and Aquarius a bit late to the party, which might be true, as they are always busy with something new and exciting. True visionaries and the only ethereal being in the Zodiac, everyone else is an animal, human or a thing, they do see from a different perspective!

Holiday 2021

Ring them bells and bring on the holiday gnomes, gold, silver, red, green and gnomes! These delicious Chocolate, Gingerbread and almond vanilla cookies are special for the Holidays!

 

 Mr Sagittarius makes his appearance while the sun is in his sign. Adventurous, philosophical and partial to movement, this magical beast is shellacked and framed, ready for hanging! Enjoy the fview!

Scorpio Power!

 

One of the most powerful signs in the Zodiac is that of Scorpio! Passionate, strong willed, smart, sharp and fiercely loyal, it is wise to consider what they have to say, as generally they do possess psychic ability. here to celebrate one of my favorite signs is a 14 inch long chocolate and gingerbread scorpion! Delicious!

#MAKEMEFAMOUS Ed Brezinski's "Nancy Reagan"

 On Sunday the 17th of October, "Make Me Famous" debuted at SVA! The Pooky is in the picture, as I was a friend of Ed's and happily the owner of some of his incredible artwork. Taking an image Ed is famous for, and on my wall at home, here are the Brezinskuits or biscuits of Ed's work. Here is to you darling and wonderful Ed, wherever you are! Thank you to Brian Vincent and Heather Spore Kelly for this great documentary of this profound, tortured, funny, brilliant artist.

A still from the Movie, back in the day!

Fall Arrives!

 The Hudson Valley is famous for its light, for its beauty and of course for the great painters who captured the beauty of this region, among them Thomas Cole. Combining many cookies and a candy river into an Autumnal picture gives us this lovely cookiescape inspired by the great master Cole! Welcome to a gorgeous new season, where each leaf dons a new combination of color. And behold the cookie sky! Delicious!
