McVitie’s, the biscuit people, challenged me to create some British themed creations using their Jaffa Cakes. I took my inspiration from friends who described their strange and unique methods of eating them. I started to nibble and pick away, going through 30 boxes of Jaffa Cakes to try to get shapes that fitted with my British themed ideas. One problem I had was when I got distracted by the radio and then looked back to see I had eaten the Loch Ness monster. See the video and pictures of what I came up with below.



Stonehenge



The sunset effect was achieved by shining a light through the Jaffa Cakes orange wrapper. I like the realistic reflection.



The white cliffs of Dover



Tower Bridge



Set up with a plastic bag.



The Loch Ness Monster



The Queen’s Guards (The ones with the big bear skin hats outside Buckingham palace)



The Union Jack flag



Queen’s head on coin



The Thames river



All of them.

You can follow my future creations on twitter or facebook. Or have a look at the other things I’ve made on this site using the menu on the left or visit my main project site here.

Thanks goes out to Joe McGorty who helped me get the photographs done.
