Chocolate Robots (Circa 2008)

I was going through our digital photo album the other night and realized: I've bake a hellova lotta stuff. So, I thought it might be fun to share some of my past projects. (Desserts I've made for birthdays, holidays, office parties, anniversaries, etc - before we started this blog in the summer of 2008.) Mind you, the photography isn't great. But the ideas are still fun.

My creative director at Sullivan Higdon & Sink, Scott Flemming, was well known for his "robot sketching." He used to sit in brainstorming meetings, or client meetings, or agency meetings, and doodle the coolest robots. 


So, for his birthday in 2008, I made him some chocolate robots. I remember going up and down the candy aisle at the grocery store looking for the perfect pieces, parts & shapes to make these little guys. I "glued" everything together with chocolate frosting.
