Eye Candy!


'Somewhere in a secret kitchen, new forms of confectionary are being brought to life. Armed with a dizzying array of edible glitters, powder pigments and a host of magical ingredients, the Curious Confectioner’s creations disregard the traditional confectionary forms in a bid to entertain new possibilities of both form and function. Employing a hand and eye for artistry, a healthy dose of humour and a desire to innovate and subvert, this Confectionery wizard is on a mission to take the artistry of sweet delights where it has never been before and to share his adventures with the world'.


When I first set up LouLovesFood, I introduced you to Cupcake Junkie, the photostream of pretty and inspired cupcake porn. After attending the Experimental Food Society, I am now a regular lurker of my new favourite food crush- The Curious Confectioner.

These cakes don't just look good enough to eat. His chocolate bird-topped creations are filled with pomegranate, violet and rose fondant filling.

Other cakes include Burger and Fries muffins and a dead rodent cake. Obviously.
(Actually, I wish I had the thought of that. It's not something you would really expect to have an obvious target audience but I'm sure it would send my sister into a paroxism of joyful squeels...)

The BBQ.


BBQs don't have to just be a pile of sausages and pappy white bread rolls. Regard.

Artichoke, garlic and cumin dip
burnt aubergine with tahini and pomegranate molasses
asparagus wrapped in sesame filo


I think this would be nice with a thin layer of proscutto...

Sweet peppers stuffed with holloumi, tomato and black olive

Orange of apricot sausages. Well... no need to shun them completely.

Home made wholemeal rolls courtesy of Ian- very impressed!

Homemade caremelised red onion chutney
Home made spicy tomato relish


Strawberry Meringue stacks with balsamic strawberry coulis, pomegranate seeds and frosted mock-orange blossom

It wouldn't be a BBQ without it...





Chocolate dipped strawberries. Summery and easy and always popular.
