Creative cake designs
Look very closely at these carefully constructed artworks. Now, dip your finger slowly into one, then pull it out again. See, it’s covered in the most succulent, tender coating of sweet sweet goodness. Yes. These are cakes, and they’re a long way removed from the spongy mess that used to be served up at the birthday parties I attended as a kid.

Fancy a skull cake for your next birthday? Yes, a three-dimensional cake made to resemble the bony framework of the head enclosing the brain. Baker Chloe Bird specialises in creating these eerie, but otherwise delicious, cakes and won this year’s Threadcakes cake contest. Whether you’re after a milk or white chocolate variety, Bird’s Bitter Teeth cake (based on the t-shirt) will sure give you your chocolate fix by means of ganache, flavoured sponge and melted chocolate.

There’s something captivating about the vibrant tones and sense of blissful optimism in the work of Sydney-based illustrator, Sarah Carter-Jenkins. It’s like a window into another age, with indulgent floral hairpieces, wrapped around the heads of sharply defined girls. Read more
Personally, I think it’s difficult for family photos to not be a bit stilted and weird, but Awkward Family Photos manages to post truly baffling images of badly dressed, strangely posed, and generally weird-looking clans as they wish to be remembered. Read more

Jeans are a science, a science based on the deep knowledge of denim, washes and patterns, according to Dr. Denim, who have certainly twisted and turned every single atom of all their jeans into perfection. Each pair exudes a progressive design, made of superior quality at fair prices. My high waists have become the most desirable item in my wardrobe due to the denim’s strength which magically sculpts to your body yet leaves you embracing the comfort of wearing tracky-dacks. Seriously, there is nothing more important than owning a good-fitting pair of jeans. Dr. Denim delivers unisex designs that appeal to everyone.

Where their self-titled debut album showed Harrison as the central figure in a large musical cast, Future Clouds and Radar’s latest offering finds the core band focusing their kaleidoscopic vision into a single cinematic narrative about the illusory nature of mortality. Throughout, Harrison stays true to his genre-hopping eclecticism, leading the journey through a maze of fuzz-box vocals and ethereal keys.
