About the instructor Stranger than fiction, Conjurer’s Kitchen was born when artist Annabel de Vetten married a magician. Her creation, their magic-themed wedding cake, was a show-stopper and the orders started to pour in. Since then, Annabel has turned her hand to all kinds of weird and wonderful projects. Each delicious design is ready to transport you to a realm of your dreams or nightmares, at first bite. An established artist with a background in sculpture, taxidermy, and fine art; Annabel finds inspiration in all kinds of curious places, from her love of true crime through to 1960s wallpaper. Animals, anatomy, and the natural world regularly feature in her creations. She loves to explore, one particular series of cakes was influenced by a weekend exploring the cemeteries and crypts of Vienna. Her work always captures a kind of decadent oddity that has become the signature of Conjurer’s Kitchen. Annabel always encourages her clients to push the boundaries with whatever their inner heart (however black) desires. She loves to create for all kinds of public events, private parties, and festivals. This is evident from her extensive portfolio of works, including bread Terracotta Warriors for Pizza Express, a life-size Dexter in cake for Fox, inspired cakes for the Good Funeral Awards, and the American Gods DVD release. Conjurer’s Kitchen also regularly hosts Movie TasteAlongs, the cinematic experience with a difference. During the film screening tasty morsels are provided to each guest, sometimes lovingly packaged in a gift box, sometimes served as if it were a lavish banquet. The edible treats are always imaginative interpretations of iconic film scenes, so the audience can always expect the unexpected.
