Dr. Ella Hawkins, a Birmingham-based artist and design historian, combines her passion for Shakespeare and material culture into edible art. By crafting cookies adorned with intricate royal icing designs, she translates her academic studies into visually appealing treats. This unique approach began in her undergraduate years and evolved into a method for sharing her research. Hawkins' creations include collaborations with museums, where she captures historical artifacts through baking. She continues to meld her roles as an educator and a culinary artist, making academic topics accessible and engaging through her work.
"Baking and design have always been interlinked for me, and I'm thrilled to share my research through something as universally enjoyable as cookies."
"It felt like a fun way to look back at all the different design styles we'd covered through the year, combining my passion for baking and history."
