Board Game Bakes
Andrew and Danielle met at PAX Unplugged this year – while playing Cape May at the Thunderworks booth!
How did you get started combining your love of board games with baking? What inspired you?
Danielle enjoys board games and baking, and figured she could combine them. Inspired a bit by Nerdy Nummies.
What have been YOUR favorite bakes?
Mariposas cake with black fondant and 3D butterflies
Danielle also made the entire game of Lanterns, a cookie for each tile.
Let’s talk about some of our favorite bakes:
Hues & Cues cake – absolutely amazing to reconstruct the color variations.
Everdell tree – it stands up!
Everyone was talking about the playable 12 Days cookies at PAXU. 80 cookies!
Andrew got to eat a Shifting Stones cookie at PAXU!
Anitra likes that there are also simpler bakes like sugar cookie meeples & the gingerbread people from Roll For Your Life, Candyman! – almost anyone could make these. (How about some Gizmos cheese balls?)
What do you want to do that you haven’t yet?
Daniel dreams of baking a dinosaur cake for Arch Ravels.
Currently working on the rotating 4-layer pagoda from Four Gardens.
