1Cup8Oz

It began with a macaron. It was cocoa tea flavoured to be exact. The feet were raised, the top was smooth and rounded and the center was the right amount of "chewy".

Perfection.

Anyway, I digress.

As I pined for another, I absent-mindedly began drawing a stack of macarons. This then evolved into a three page fiasco of illustrated desserts.

Fast forward a few days later, a magnificent pattern of heart- wrenchingly sweet things had been formed.

(My gift wrap is now also for sale btw... )

At that same time, I was working on a new project involving measuring cups and too much free time. I found a set of measuring cups that fit into one another forming a small tower and used each cup as a base for a candle. The scents I used were inspired by berry cobbler, vanilla custard and cherry pie. (Obviously my sweet tooth is insatiable)

For the packaging, I used the pattern that I had created a few days before as the background and worked from there.

Thus 1Cup8Oz was born. ( I thought the title was absolutely, hilariously witty... )

Pattern ft. the stack of macarons, a stack of doughnuts, a religieuse, a parfait, a raspberry tart,

strawberry cake, cherry pie and a fruit tart.
