As a general rule, I don't like Valentines Day, But when FoodDotCom asked me if I could put something unique together for the holiday, I decided to give it a shot. After a lot of brainstorming, this idea came to me. The whole process ended up being so much fun, it may have changed my mind about February 14th... I already have a plan for 2018 :D
I'm a little bit of a MEGA Stranger Things fan and created a bunch of desserts based off the show. This was initially supposed to be one of those gaudy 80's wedding cakes, but It turned out way neater than I expected.
I sculpted this 2 inch hand out of modeling chocolate.
Dodecah-Demon Dice
Inspired by the show and Dungeons and Dragons
Made out of Chocolate Crunch Cookies!
I designed these packages in photoshop. Then printed and assembled them :))
Sweetheart French Macarons... These boxes are actually pretty big :D
I think I spent about 5 days making all the packaging in this post, I was so excited about them and kept sending shots to my Mom. Her response.... "Ummm...neat I guess?" ':/
I found out you can make bubble gum at home! So I did that :))
These are inspired by Garbage Pale Kid Cards and the cheesy Valentine's you gave out to classmates in elementary school.
Easily, the most fun part of all of this was hunting for 1983 props on eBay! The stereo in the first picture is actually the same model as the one in the show and it came in perfect condition :D
Eggo Waffle Cookies... Obviously :P
Vanilla Ring Pop Cakes! This is my favorite of the packaging I made
No molds were used and it's Totally Edible.
See you on The Upside Down :D
Edit: I'm adding in the link to the FoodDotCom site. All the recipes and downloads for the packages I made are available there for free :D

ThePotatoBandit

How long did this take to do?

@OP - I am wondering if you are from another dimension youself. The things you have created over the past few years have caused my suspicion

I feel like you're not a real person. Like, no one is this perfect.
dontcallmeplath
I honestly get so pissed every time I see one of her posts. Immediate seething jealousy.
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
Like the only thing that gives me comfort is that she has to be low key crazy or something. She can't be this crafty, beautiful and sane.
dontcallmeplath
She may be a little cross-eyed if that helps? Honestly, she's a fucking inspiration and a goddess. I love her instagram.
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
This is the only explanation I have for her sheer craftiness. Maybe Athena is her mom and she's a demigod.. that's all I've got
WeatherWeaver
She has Ariel hair! Who has that??
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
Thank you! I'm glad you thought that, too! Like she can't be a mere human.
therpsichore
I'm just thankfull my SO doesn't know she exist so he still thinks I do cool stuff with my hands.

Right, she makes me look so inadequate! Like, I'm not a good enough woman/person. Lol
kukupuff
Have you submitted this to their social media? I feel they'd give you things and accolades and an internship or something
kukupuff
Why did this get downvoted you salty cranky hobgoblins? It's awesome, and they deserve a huge audience and acknowledgement for it.
imaninimouse
Upvote for cranky hobgoblins
shedooooooooo
Christine McConnell is already pretty famous for her work. If anything, the ST media would reach out to buy her designs to produce/sell.
kukupuff
And apologize for the "cranky hobgoblins" thing. Except for that one other guy. THAT STANDS.
kukupuff
I stand corrected!
loafroaster
A) She's making mad money as a freelancer. B) An internship in what?
kukupuff
I didn't know that. I thought it was just a mad talented Imgurian trying to get eyes, I wasn't aware they were already famous. Apologies.
loafroaster
She opens by saying fooddotcom commissioned her to do some work for them.
kukupuff
Yup, I totally missed all the commentary when I was scrolling. Apologies all the way around.
loafroaster
Accepted. *disappears in puff of self-righteous smoke*
LostLogic12
Oh I remember you! You're that chick that does all that stuff. I knew you looked familiar.
Schiribiz
All the perfect things while remaining always perfect, yes yes
Vectorman2
Browsed her submitted images, was not disappointed (in many ways)
RichardValentine
Oh do you mean boners??
Vectorman2
Come on, she is a classy girl with a lot of really cool projects and creativity! (also yes)
RichardValentine
Oh I'd still very much like to have her skills (if you know what I mean)
