One of my favorite signs of spring is the Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest. This year is the third annual Peeps Show, and for the past two years I kept thinking “next year I’ll enter.” Well, next year I’ll enter. The rules are simple. Make a diorama of a famous occurence, scene, event from past, present or future using Peeps as the characters. Submit photos to the Washington Post by midnight on March 15th. Semifinalists and winners will be published in the Post on Easter Sunday. (I believe they usually feature the top winners at Artomatic, too, a huge indie art event here in DC.) The top 5 finalists must be from the DC metro area (MD and VA count), but anyone from the US can enter. Find all the guidelines here. Shown are some examples from last year. And I will definitely post a link to the finals. Even if you don’t live in the states or the DC area, it’s so inspiring to see the results. Here’s the link to last year’s top 37. And from 2007 here. Shown: “Peep Art” from 2008 and “Peeping Peeps” from 2007.

Book Review – Tigga Mac’s Cake Hacks
Who is Tigga Mac? Only the coolest cake lady in Australia!
Tigga Mac, also known as Tegan Maccormack, is a renowned cake artist and content creator based in Melbourne, Australia. With a massive following across various social media platforms, Tigga has gained fame for her exceptional cake-decorating skills and engaging content.
Tigga Mac has a significant presence on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, where she shares her cake creations, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes glimpses [Insta][Facebook][3Youtube][Tiktok]. Have you watched their content?
Her tutorials are generally using store-bought supermarket cake hacks from Woolworths or Coles Mudcakes. Being able to buy a ready made mudcake and then just do the creative stuff is really appealing to me. I could find time to bake or decorate but not usually both.
I have to say my favorite is the Ramen Noodle cake tutorial.
This book is available for pre-order .
