While we're on the subject of food in craft, do you remember those incredibly kitsch doll cakes that some girls' mothers used to make, with a barbie's head sticking out of the top of a skirt made from sponge and icing? Well, inevitably, some of those over-indulged little girls have now grown up, taken the idea and made it a whole lot more sinister...
Pictured, is the Gothic Barbie Cake, which you can make with a few cooking ingredients, a lot of black food dye and a Barbie doll with a taste for the dark side. I found some step-by-step instructions here.
If that's a bit tame for your tastes, and you'd rather see your fashion dolls mutilated and in a (chocolate) coffin, there's a truly grisly recipe on The Damndest Thing: the Barbie Coffin Cake. I particularly like the use of fake blood here!
