I was two parts intrigued and one part slightly afraid as I headed to ‘Eat Your Heart Out & the PRETOX Potion’ pop up last night.
Set in the dungeon of Maiden on Shoreditch High Street, I was promised this adults only cake shop would broaden my mind!
Curated by the Mad Artists Tea Party, the world’s first 18+ evil cake shop will be selling 666 terrifying Halloween creations each day and is said to provide a platform for the artists, cake makers and potion creators to explore the darkest corners of their minds and bring their most disturbing visions to life.
As a teaser, David A Smith’s Road Kill take on cake decorations and a semi naked female form, with her throat slit, adorned the window display.
As we descended into the dungeon we were welcomed by a host of strange looking characters…
Cupcakes with hyperdermics, edible vagina creations and a gruesome white head cake which seeps with an tasty white puss when squeezed, certainly caught my eye.
Hubby loved the jar of frighteningly real severed fingers and worryingly realistic organs on display; hearts, livers you name it!
Talking of livers, the drink of the day was a PRETOX potion, a vile of 17 benefical vitamins and herbs said to help avoid a hangover – although when mixed with vodka perhaps less effective.
If you are hosting Halloween party without the kids, this is where you should be buying your tricks and treats.
Opening today, all are welcome between now and 31st October.
If you miss out, you will still be able to purchase these some of this edible, if not gory, works of art from the individual cake makers. I’ll try and find out who they all are and will post here later.
