Only God Can Make a Tree

August 6th, 2008 by Madeleine Robins

But I can make flowers! I’ve been taking a cake-decorating class this summer, with a view to gaining skills so that I can subvert, as they say, the dominant paradigm. Granted, I’m unlikely to do that with frosting pansies and sweet peas and forget-me-nots. But in the larger scheme of things I can see a day when, instead of a basket full of flowers like this (last night’s class project)–

I could turn out a basket full of skulls. Or worms. Or zombies.

And that’s where I need your help, Brainiacs. I’m looking for candy molds–the weirder the better. Zombies, skulls, skeletons, eyeballs…anything ookie or weird. The lovely woman who teaches my class leans toward moles of ballerina shoes and puppies and doves in flight; I won’t find what I want there. And since I’ve also learned how to do sugar molding, if you find me a cool mold I’ll send you a set of molded sugar what-ever-you-finds, as a thank you.

Act now! Before the flowers completely take over! (They’ve already taken over the dog…)
