A couple of weeks ago I went to a bachelor/ette party. It was, not surprisingly, adult in theme, and contributions were encouraged. I'd just gotten the ginger spread, so my first thought was some kind of bread with a swirl of chocolate and ginger, sweet and spicy. That morphed into making two kinds of dough, chai and chocolate, filled with the opposite filling, and twined together. And then that transmogrified into using two colors of dough (still chai and chocolate) for something a bit more obviously to the theme.

To wit, a lovely bread woman, rather earth goddess-y due to running out of room on the baking sheet for proportional legs, and lack of other proportions (or perhaps, more... traditionally idealized proportions than usual today :-).

One view:

Another view:

Head shot:

She's not perfect (not that I'm throwing stones (to boldly mix metaphors that should not be mixed)), but as as first free-form bread sculpture, she's (in)decent. (And now deceased, er, eaten.)

Many thanks to Coorr for taking the photos and Library_sexy for getting them to me.
