Squash Birds Of A Feather

Those of you lot familiar amongst competitive yellow crush carving know how intense these contests tin get, in addition to an number I of late co-hosted amongst Allrecipes inwards Seattle was no different. The tension was in addition to thence thick, you lot could've cutting it amongst a swag-bag paring knife.

This battle royal took house at the determination of BlogHerFood weekend, in addition to an exclusive grouping of foodies were invited based on their blogging experience, passion for edible art, in addition to to a much greater extent, their availability.

The topic of the solar daytime was centered on my mascot in addition to lifelong friend, the crush bird. After regaling them amongst the strange in addition to generally truthful story of how it came to be, in addition to demonstrating how I brand the bird, our honored attendees laid to function creating their ain renditions for fun in addition to fabulous prizes.

Despite bottomless Mimosas, I idea the birds these “gordiators” produced were extraordinary. Here are a few of the highlights.

I alone had my jail cellular telephone phone to create got pictures with, in addition to thence the blurry shots are mine. Thankfully my friend Irvin at Eat the Love was there, in addition to graciously shared around of the pictures he took.

The winning aeroplane was from Michael Procopio, the blogger/food author behind the ever entertaining Food for the Thoughtless. The classic combination of huge neb in addition to fabulous chapeau proved irresistible to the judges. More subtle was the upright posture, which gave the aeroplane an close royal stance.

In add-on to beingness a crush aeroplane boss, the hilarious Mr. Procopio also gives skillful Twitter, in addition to thence endure certain to check him out there. By the way, endure prepared to await materials upwards on Wikipedia.

Speaking of fabulous, the inimitable Linda Nicholson, aka Salty Seattle, was also inwards attendance. As you lot tin see, she was clearly trying to distract the challenger amongst her alternative of footwear, which mimicked the bird’s brilliant orangish feet. Did it work? Not really, but who cares? Look at those boots!

Her crush birds were close equally striking. The saline siren attempted an ambition scene consisting of what appears to endure 2 crush birds trying to province on the same rock.

Unfortunately, during the luncheon break, around mayo from her sandwich must create got fallen on the birds, in addition to she was disqualified for violating Chapter 3, Section seven of the official rules, which covers inappropriate purpose of condiments.

Many attendees utilized "hair" in addition to other eye-catching accessories to brand an impression. Sean Timberlake from Hedonia tried to delineate off the rarely seen cock’s comb/toupee combo; in addition to DPaul Brown from dpaulbrown.com's follic affectations non alone dressed upwards his entry, but also helped dot what sort of cigarette was inwards the beak.

Another favorite was this submission from Andrew Wilder at Eating Rules. I idea it was a smart approach to brand the aeroplane await similar it was bending over feeding.

We assumed Andrew was trying to demo movement, although he did pass a lot of fourth dimension making certain everyone saw but how anatomically right the tail cease of his creation was, in addition to thence at that spot may create got been ulterior motives.

Anyway, nosotros actually did create got a smashing time, in addition to I desire to give thank you lot everyone who participated. Also, a huge thank you lot to my friends at Allrecipes for hosting in addition to organizing such a fun event!
