OLD FONT

LOOKING AT ALL THE TOFFEE LETTERS IN ROWS REMINDED ME OF OLD FASHIONED LETTER FORMS USED FOR PRINTING .

252 TOFFEE LETTERS

GAFF WORD SEARCH

SO I HAVE DECIDED TO CREATE A GIANT EDIBLE WORDSEARCH FULL OF POLITICAL GAFFS, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE TOPICAL AND MANY PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO "EAT THEIR WORDS" OR TAKE A FEW BACK. DAVID CAMERON SAID TODAY IN HIS FIRST SPEECH AS PRIME MINISTER OF A COALITION GOVERNMENT

" IF IT MEANS SWALLOWING SOME HUMBLE PIE AND EATING SOME OF OUR WORDS..."

SO I CREATED THIS GIANT GRID FOR MY WORD SEARCH!

A-Z CUTTERS

AFTER TESTING THE MOULDS I CONSIDERED OTHER WAYS OF CREATING LETTER FORMS THAT ARE EDIBLE. SO I HAVE CONSIDERED THE CLASSIC COOKIE CUTTER. MAYBE I COULD CREATE MORE SUCCESSFUL FOOD LETTERS USING THE CUTTERS, HOWEVER COOKIES DON'T HAVE THE WOW FACTOR OF THE 3D CHOCOLATE AND TOFFEE LETTERS. MMMM.

TOFFEE TEST

SO I WAS THINKING WHAT SORT OF FOOD WILL GO IN TO THE MOULDS AND WHEN COOLED HAS THE SAME RESULTS ARE PROPERTIES AS CHOCOLATE. SO I TRIED OUT TOFFEE AND WELL, THIS SEEMED VERY SUCCESSFUL AND I COULD USE IT TO CREATE LETTERS FREE HAND, MUCH LIKE THE DUTCH DESIGN COLLECTIVE 'AUTOBAHN' WHO CREATED 'ELVETICA FONTS USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS. MAYBE I COULD CREATE A 'TOFFELVETICA'!

BROWNIES TEST

ALTHOUGH BROWNIES ARE DELICIOUS THE BAKING PROCESS SEEMED EXPLOSIVE AND SO DEEMED UNSUCCESSFUL.

CHOCOLATE TEST

HOWEVER CHOCOLATE DID SEEM SUCCESSFUL, THE DARKER THE STRONGER THE MORE SOLID THE SHAPE. MMMM... SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

JELLY TEST

the jelly was unsuccessful, i reckon the moulds where a bit too small for the wibbly wobbly jelly

Edible lettering is an ancient tradition, but edible fonts may be something new: Sara Soskolne discovered this marvelous set of Movable Type in Chocolate, created by Sandra Kübler and Christine Voshage.

I have to commend the duo for including a broad character set, including accents and punctuation. (The Droste company, which makes the chocolate initials given to Dutch children for Sinterklaas Eve, doesn't produce even the letter I, presumably because it's challenging to design a chocolate I that matches the weight of the M or W.) As we know, children are a stickler for fairness, especially when it comes to chocolate, just as typographers are a stickler for fidelity, especially when it comes to chocolate.

FOODY FONTS

ICONIC FOODY FONTS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS, APPARENTLY THE MCDONALDS M IS MORE WIDLEY RECOGNISED BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAN THE CHRISTIAN CROSS!! HERE ARE JUST SOME OF MY FAVORITE FOODY FONTS....

E IS FOR EATING

WE ARE ALL WELL ACQUAINTED WITH EATING, IT IS BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTIVITIES. APPARENTLY FOOD IS THE KEY TO MAN'S HEART.

HANDMADEFONTS

RIGHT, SO THE ONLY FONT MADE FROM FOOD I'VE FOUND SO FAR IS CREATED BY A BUNCH OF WACKY AMERICANS FROM HANDMADEFONTS.COM, HOWEVER THERE FONT IS AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL USE ONLY. ITS A SHAME I'D LOVE TO EAT SOME

T SHAPED TOAST!!

AUTOBAHN

"for their project 'fresh fonts'the dutch collective autobahn drew the typeface helvetica using toothpaste, tomato ketchup and hair gel. they then used these experiments to create the digital typefaces 'heldentica' , 'tomatica' and 'gelvetica', which you can now download for free from autobahn's site."
