Does this count as fan art?
I can't draw, I can't sculpt, I can't write good detective stories, but I can bake.
Do iced biscuits count as fan art?
I made these for the Frenchlockians 1st anniversary meet-up today in Paris.

Re: Does this count as fan art?
Wow! These are the most beautifully crafted biscuits I've ever seen! 
I can imagine how much patience and diligence you required to create them.
Fan art? 100 per cent!

Re: Does this count as fan art?
My fave is the MORIAR TEA Very clever!
You could sell these at fan meetings. If they taste half as good as they look, you'd sell everything you made. Yum.

Re: Does this count as fan art?
You can bake?!?!? What an understatement
Did you have a party or a house full of hungry teenagers?

Re: Does this count as fan art?
Thanks all for the kind words, and Davina, ha ha!
The kids (most of the Frenchlockians are young students) said the biscuits tasted good as well, and they all loved the decoration, so it was worth spending all these hours making them! The recipe is from a book by Peggy Porschen, the goddess (according to me) of baking. Next time I want to make a Sherlock-themed tiered cake!

A tiered cake is a great idea. It can be for John's wedding. Mwahahah!

Yeah, I'd say that's fan art. This must have been a meeting of a bunch of Johnlockers, given the little heart on some of them and the profiles displayed face to face like that, lol.

Re: Does this count as fan art?
Lovely . Don't know if I would dare to eat one of them. The other would be sad so I'd have to eat him as well.

I'm always late to the party, seems like. You made these, BB? I always thought your forum name meant you like cookies, and apparently it means you design and make cookies. You're quite an artist!
