What a title for a book! Those of us who have admired Twinkie’s work before are less likely to be surprised by the title – the combining of two of life’s great pleasures – food and crochet. But, what a collection of confections it is!! Get your spoon (er, hook) ready and dig in.
Beyond cupcakes, Twinkie now has created scarves from fruit slices, bacon and eggs, cookies, and even, believe it – green salad. Did you think this couldn’t be done? Twinkie has done it.
Her gingerbread man may or may not like radishes, pepperoni pizza, or sushi, but Twinkie does and has a scarf for each. In addition, get your sweet tooth ready for ice cream cones, cupcake icing, cake, and popsicles. There’s even a single, giant carrot that winds its way around her neck.
In all, there are 20 items, mostly scarves, to crochet from designs that Twinkie has nicely downloaded from her (seemingly food-obsessed) brain and converted into crochet patterns for the rest of us. If the whimsy in you needs a drop kick to get it in gear, get this book. If you have kids or tweens or ‘out-there’ adults to crochet for, you’ll definitely need this book.

These are very creative. Although I don’t see myself wearing food, the designs are amazing.
