The post April’s Baker’s Bespoke Cakes Are the Best Kind of Vintage appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>April’s Baker was founded by Roxy Mankoo in 2019, after she decided to take a leap of faith and start her own luxury bespoke cake business. Her sister Corinne Mankoo later joined her as co-director and used her background in event design and business management to help this brand thrive.
Before founding her own brand, Roxy Mankoo trained at Le Cordon Bleu, and polishes her baking skills across London and New York. Food has always been one of the biggest joys in her life, and she wanted to put a creative twist on it and transform it into a true work of art.
April’s Baker’s cakes will give you nostalgia overload, and they borrow inspiration from many different eras. The Mankoo sisters are huge fans of Marie Antoinette aesthetic, but the pastel color palette of their cakes is also inspired by the cartoons they grew up watching, such as Polly Pockets and My Little Pony.
In addition to baking some of the most delicious cakes you’ll ever come across, April’s Baker also offers vintage piping courses and online classes to all the passionate bakers out there.

]]>Primrose Bakery had pretty humble beginnings before becoming an Instagram sensation with 280,000 followers. Martha Swift founded it alongside her former business partner, Lisa Thomas, and they were initially baking cakes from their home kitchens before she opened her first bakery in London’s chic neighborhood of Primrose Hill.
Swift is guided by the belief that every occasion calls for a cake, and she puts a lot of effort into making her cakes truly speak to people. Many of them went viral after Swift started writing funny messages over the glazing and sharing the final results on social media.
Primrose Bakery’s cakes are fresh and delicious, made with quality, seasonal ingredients, but they’ll also put a smile on your face. They’ll win you over with their retro feel and silly lines and quotes that make them memorable, ranging from “main character energy” to “not aging, just upgrading.”

]]>Lauren Martin is an illustrator from New York, who spent years trying to carve out her distinctive artistic style. She studied fine arts after high school, but struggled to find herself in this sort of artistic expression until she started making artwork for her band Frankie Cosmos – and something finally clicked!
“I think my current style is most similar to how I drew as a kid… It wasn’t until I started designing and screen-printing merch for my band that I started to channel some of that childhood artistic energy. My work became a lot more playful, and I think it’s continuing to get looser and weirder with time,” she told Print Magazine.
After taking a hiatus from music during the pandemic, Martin dived back into the world of illustration and made a name for herself with her feel-good art. Her signature anthropomorphic characters usually take the shape of food, and she wants her illustrations to capture the humor and joy that can be found in day-to-day life.

]]>Piggott is the mastermind behind the baking brand Three Cats And A Pig, who’s running a cottage bakery in North Salt Lake, Utah. She’s a stay-at-home mom who enjoys mountain biking, playing piano, and growing pumpkins in her free time, in addition to making pretty sourdough bread.
Piggott started her Instagram page because she wanted to give people ideas for original and creative bread designs once they’ve mastered the basic process of making sourdough. She’s using custom edible wafer paper to take her bread to the next level, in addition to scoring the dough by hand.
One of the best things about Piggott is that she’s not gatekeeping her skills. Her Instagram page is filled with useful tips you can use to take your sourdough to the next level and transform it into a work of art. She often lists the materials she’s using in her Instagram captions, in addition to selling custom edible wafer paper on Etsy to passionate bakers trying to recreate her designs.

]]>The post Erin Clarkson of “Cloudy Kitchen” Traded Science for Becoming Baking Superstar appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Clarkson studied geology and geography, and she developed an understanding of the scientific process during her time at the university. Her background in this field shaped her journey as a baker and influenced the way she develops recipes today. She’s a huge believer that baking is an absolute science, and her process includes obsessive testing, re-testing, and making tiny tweaks before she gets it 100% right.
Another thing that inspired Clarkson’s journey as a baker was her move from New Zealand to New York. She spent her now-husband Rick while working at an oil rig, and used cooking to cure her homesickness after moving with him to New York.
“I started baking a few of my favorite New Zealand recipes to bring a bit of home closer to me… As my homesickness gradually faded my baking and recipes began to take on more and more inspiration from my experiences in America,” she explains on her official website.
Clarkson now specializes in sharing accurate, repeatable, and thoroughly tested recipes with the world, and they helped her attract almost 500,000 to her Instagram page Cloudy Kitchen.

]]>Making pies was one of Hockersmith’s favorite pastimes long before her creations went viral on Instagram. She’s been making them for over a decade, and going gluten-free inspired her to dig deeper and start experimenting with her go-to pie crust recipe.
She eventually started sharing her creations on Instagram, and something extraordinary happened when she came up with the idea to mix her passion for baking and reading into one.
“It became this huge passion for me that I never saw coming… There’s certain books that the covers just speaks to me and I think ‘I’ve gotta make this into a pie. Sometimes I make them into a pie before I even read them, but most of the time I’m trying to feature books that I’ve loved or am excited about,” she told Good Morning America.
Hockersmith’s page is now a safe haven for all the book lovers out there looking for their next read. In addition to celebrating timeless classics we all know and love, she enjoys using her platform to introduce us to new books worth reading – mostly in the form of delicious pies.

]]>Tamagotchi was a big hit in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Coming in the size of a keychain, the toy allowed the players to select a wide range of digital pets that they needed to “feed” and “entertain” regularly if they wanted to keep them happy and healthy.
Now, KFC has decided to treat its customers with a dash of nostalgia by releasing a Tamagotchi toy named “Eduardochi.” It comes as a chicken drumstick-shaped keychain and allows players to choose between 10 different chicken drumstick virtual pets. Once they select their preferred design, the players need to take care of Eduardochi’s and increase its crispiness level by feeding it, sending it to school, and cleaning after it, among other things.
At the moment, Eduardochi is only available in Spain, where customers can pick it up at a price of 3.99 euros ($4.19) when purchasing at least one menu item. If you really want one but don’t have a trip to Spain planned anytime soon, you can always turn to eBay, where they are selling from $30 to $100.
“Here comes Eduardochi! Your virtual fried friend. Take care of them, bath them, feed them, take them to the doctor, make them dodge forks (?), make them earn money, buy them a sword (it doesn’t do anything, but it’s pretty cool), play frisbee, ignore them, watch as they become gradually depressed, put a cowboy hat on them. It’s Eduardochi!” the description on Eduardochi’s package states.

]]>His first attempt came for the creation of a yin-yang symbol created from the yolk and white of an egg separated and placed very intentionally on a pan. “From that moment, the ideas kept flowing, each design becoming more intricate than the last. I used to share my creations on my personal account, but in 2017 I decided to create The Eggshibit,” wrote Michele.
He’s tried other food mediums, but he can’t help but keep coming back to eggs. “While I’ve experimented with other foods and materials, eggs remain my favorite. There’s something uniquely calming and captivating about the contrast of the egg white and yolk against a black background,” he told Bored Panda.
Though the fried egg might seem simple, Baldini has managed to make it truly eye-catching. His works are not only tasty looking but truly one of a kind. “I think what sets my egg art apart is the intriguing use of an everyday object—the fried egg—to portray something equally familiar, like another object, symbol, or even a landscape. This combination creates a sense of relatability while sparking curiosity, making it both thought-provoking and uniquely engaging,” wrote Michele.
