"Zoe Lukas" news and stories

In light of today's inauguration, it seemed appropriate to feature some presidential cookies in this space. Lucky for us, Zoe Lukas of the Whipped Bakeshop created some really striking and artistic cookies featuring a print of a watercolor she did of the man who is nearly President.

Thanks Zoe!

As I was scanning through the thumbnail images on the Slashfood Flickr pool, I saw this photo and thought to myself, "I wonder why someone took a picture of a crab boil." Then I noticed that it was submitted by the Whipped Bakeshop and I knew I had to take a closer look.

Turns out it isn't a crab boil at all and instead is a Maryland "Crab Cake" designed and baked for a couple who are getting married on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Everything you see, including mallets and "tin" of Old Bay Seasoning are edible.

Thanks Zoe, for adding this picture to the pool!

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (who else remembers her from late-night TV in the eighties?) has been rendered in cookie, frosting and sugar by Zoe Lukas of the Whipped Bakeshop. These cookies are for a Halloween event in Philadelphia, at which Elvira will be appearing tonight (if you're in Philly and want to know more about Elvira's whereabouts, make sure to follow the visitphilly Twitter account).

Zoe, thanks for adding this picture to the Slashfood Flickr pool. Happy Halloween!

I continue to be absolutely astounded at the talent and skill that dessert artist Zoe Lukas has with food-safe paint, sugar and royal icing. She was charged with the creation of a batch of cookies that look like 3-dimensional pieces of sushi and I do believe that she has passed the challenge with flying colors. The only problem with these cookies is that they look far too good to eat.

Make sure to check out all of Zoe's creations on her website and Flickr page.

Zoe Lukas, the artist/baker behind Philadelphia's Whipped Bakeshop (still without a brick and mortar location) is at it again, this time creating a cookie bearing Andy Warhol's rendering of America's favorite First Lady, Jackie Kennedy. Two icons on one delicious cookie? Sign me up!
