Function Never Tasted This Good, our 4 drink finds at Taste Of London In Regents Park 🧃

Last week, we went to the infamous Taste of London for a little outing to see and taste all the delights of F&B, and my gosh, we do live in a city with the best offerings.
It was a feast for all the senses.
It was truly inspiring to see all the grafting people are doing to bring delicious things into our guts.

We could share so many fantastic things we experienced, but thought these drinks deserved a mention as all 4 of them really tapped into the ever-expanding niche so brilliantly, functional drinks. Health doesn’t compromise taste, and taste doesn’t compromise integrity.💚

1. Trash, what a bold name for a beverage! Made from the juicy pulp of the cocoa that is often thrown away. We enjoyed this lovely sour yet refreshing electrolyte bev. Launched the day we tasted it, the public is in for a treat!
2. Deeply, move aside protein, finally. We adored these smoothie-like textured shots. They gave a luxurious taste to what might be considered strange to drink if you just read the label, i.e., chicory root.🌱
3. Living Things, a bold name again, but with such cute branding, one forgets its meaning. A refreshing gut-friendly alternative to those big sugary brands was such a delight; we shall be back for more.🍋🍉
4. PrePear, the perfect name, self-explanatory in its function. We enjoyed the packaging, must squeeze every last drop before your big night out. And wake up fresh! 🍐

We love that consumers are increasingly willing to spend on non-alcoholic drinks that offer a functional benefit.

We made an anti-energy drink back in January as a promotion. Maybe we should bring it to the market?👀

England’s playing today and Scotland is playing tomomorrow, so naturally we’ve created the ultimate fan uniform for the occasion 👕🍕

Made for Domino's Pizza and crafted from napkin material, these shirtiettes are here to keep fans fully prepared for the two essentials of match day: pizza and potential spillages.
Consider this your reminder to get your order in, get your napkin shirt on, and settle in for kick-off ⚽

This National Beer Day, we're taking a trip through the archives and revisiting some of our favourite beer-inspired projects. Interestingly, every single one involved ice cream!

Over the years we've combined two of life's greatest refreshments - beer and ice cream - to create some truly memorable summer treats:
🍺 IPA Soft Serve for Warner Leisure Hotels' Ice Cream Truck Bar, where customers could enjoy their favourite tipples in frozen form.
🍺 Guinness Ice Lollies for The Great Grill Out festival in Singapore, complete with smoked peanut crumble, candied bacon bits and chocolate-covered popping candy.
🍺 Beer Garden Pint Ice Cream, created with Gett as part of a collection of London-inspired flavours, featuring Adnams Ghost Ship Pale Ale and scampi fries.

We're curious - which of these would you be most tempted to try?

🐱✨ Cat-tastic Birthday Celebrations in the Dollhouse! ✨🐱

To celebrate Baby Box's birthday on June 4th, we created these playful jelly-filled Nerikiri cakes, inspired by the colourful world of Gabby's Dollhouse.

Chef Audrey was joined in the kitchen by Cakey, helping bring these sweet creations to life. The beautiful floral details? We'd like to thank Kitty Fairy for lending a helping paw from the Dollhouse Fairy Tail Garden! 🌸

Every element was made from scratch, including the sweetened white bean paste used to make the Nerikiri. The most challenging part was forming the delicate shapes around the lime jelly filling. Working with a soft centre while maintaining intricate details required patience, precision, and plenty of practice.

And no birthday would be complete without Marty the Party Cat, who made sure the celebration was truly meow-mazing! 🎉

A pinch on my left and a pinch on my right, grab Pandy Paws and hang on tight... it's time to get tiny!

Edible Earth

For this month’s inspiration trip, we visited the Edible Earth exhibition at Somerset House - and it left a lasting impression on us.

The exhibition explored the cultural, historical, and spiritual relationships communities around the world have with eating soil, prompting us to think differently about sustainability, nutrition, and the future of food. 🌍✨

Inspired by what we discovered, we decided to create our own interpretation of the concept. As conversations around macro-focused eating and natural ingredients continue to grow, it raises an interesting question: could soil become part of the future food landscape?

It’s a thought-provoking idea, and one we found impossible to ignore.

From the archives: this World Bee Day, we’re revisiting an old favourite - The Grand Beedapest Hotel 🐝🏨

In 2016, we collaborated with Taylors of Harrogate to create a miniature hotel for bees, inspired by The Grand Budapest Hotel.

The campaign was designed to highlight the essential role bees play in producing the flavours found in fruit and herbal teas, while encouraging people to take action to help protect pollinators and the wider ecosystem.

It remains one of our favourite projects - combining storytelling, craftsmanship, and a meaningful message in one beautifully detailed build. And, of course, creating intricate miniature designs for bees was a joy from start to finish.
