Cookies, Cakes and Cream puffs...oh my

""The Western States", seriously rad Winnipeg band, have released their second CD entitled Bye & Bye. Fans were pleased to find they've made a tradition of selling scrumptious home made treats as part of their CD release show. I had the pleasure of running the culinary coo that ensued. An array of home made splendors including chocolate covered cream puffs, mini pavlovas, cupcakes and cookies galore.  Signage was a must for hungry attendees... and how could I resist such a graphic opportunity? In the theme of vintage print, I fashioned this bake sale poster out of a vintage jar advertisement (yes, she was originally holding a less than appetizing jar of pickled eggs) combined with a cake image, carefully weathered and colour matched within the wonders of Photoshop to sit on Suzy Homemakers hand effortlessly. Honey Script was a perfectly retro font which I loved having the chance to bust out for this.  Mmmmm HoneyScript.
