one thing that my friend alec sutherland and i have in common is that we both like to work with sugar.

here's alec's brilliant sugar cube:


this amazing sculpture is made of hundreds of cubes of plain white sugar. there are two eyeholes through which to view this piece (normally the latch is shut). the effect is an almost fish-eye scene of a small sugarcity.

it's tricky to photograph but here's the idea:




it's like the parthenon in a box, really.


my work is more conventional - cakes, pies, cookies, etc. if you can eat it, i will bake it.

chocolate tiramisu torte for melanie's birthday:

According to the New Scientist, German researchers have proven that if people are lost, like really lost, in the middle of a desert for example, with neither sun nor landmarks as reference points, they will naturally walk in circles. Even if there’s a little voice (or a little German researcher) inside their head instructing them to do their best to walk in a straight line.


It’s kind of a nice idea that we come with a built-in mechanism that makes us go back to where we came from.
