My Honeybunch: Would chicken wear false eyelashes if they could?

People ask me why ask me why I paint on eye lashes on my cake pop animals. I'm not entirely sure how this started. When I first started making cake pops and decided to try to sell them into stores and cafes I was really only aiming to sell the pretty floral or sprinkled designs. I began to start to include a few of my little characters and found that the customers loved them as much as I loved to make them. One of my first customers 'The Walled Garden Cafe' at http://www.wentworthgardencentre.co.uk/ have a farm on site it seemed appropriate to include a few sheep and pigs. As I first painted on their little faces I just drew a simple dot for eyes, but being of a mischievous nature they soon developed their own characters and the faces became more elaborate.

They developed a rather rye grin which was just something that came quite naturally. Perhaps it represents the way that they amuse me?

Not wanting to be a sexist cake popper I was keen (and still am) to develop a female counterpart. And so the glamour false lash was born. I'd like to think that in an ideal world and were farm animals equipped with opposable thumbs they would of course apply false lashes on a daily basis... who wouldn't right? (if it weren't so ridiculously fiddly)
The sleeping lashes look is very popular so I wanted to find a way to make my own statement. A way that my own work would be easily reckognised as a My Honeybunch Cake Pop.

As a kid I loved Penelope Pit stop and Scooby Doo. Sadly Penelope is no longer around on the box but the new Scooby Doo has a look that I love and drew inspiration from (yes really!)
