I know, I know. I can barely pay my rent each month, never mind have enough left over to spend on such ornamental whimsies as decorative glass cupcakes. But there's something about these little beauties from Swanky Maison that I can't help but like:
Each one is individually made to order, mouth-blown and then finished by hand by artist Maggie Williams, and topped with glass 'icing' in your choice of colour. But are they adorable, or too surreal in a sinister way? I just can't decide. They remind me of miniature doll's house furniture, which I know some of the other Domestic Sluts won't be impressed by in the slightest.But the jewel-like colours and unusual glass finish make them unlike anything else I've seen. And although they'd definitely be a talking point if you had several displayed on a cake stand, at £32.50 each, it'd cost you quite a pretty penny to buy enough to make an impact. But then again, they do look delicious. What do you think?
Aw those are really cute, I'm not sure I would particularly want them in my house, but if I had a cute little cafe they would be great for a display, I love the detail on them!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments ladies, the jury's definitely out on these babies!
ReplyDeleteThey're cute, but they look more like toadstools.
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest and say that they're incredible. How the hell would you go about making them? They make me hungry! Think that's my next present sorted!
