Nancy Drew Cakes

Mysterious Cake?

The above Nancy Drew cake is quite a work of art--it looks like an old vintage orange silhouette Nancy Drew book--the flashlight even works! A fabulous job. Here are several other "sleuth-tacular" cakes I've enjoyed seeing around the web--view more at my Nancy Drew Sleuth Pinterest page.

 
 
This last cake is one of my favorites with the recreated figure of Nancy Drew from the vintage Russell H. Tandy cover for The Secret of the Old Clock.

Nancy Drew Books: Scary Things Kids (& Adults) Do #20

Roman Numeralist to the Rescue!?

This Little mathematician wanted to make sure that everyone knew which book was which! And that the numbers were disturbingly large enough to be seen across town! And on blank endpaper books from the early 1930s too...

Triple Dog "Hypers!" as George would say...

Nancy Drew Sleuth member Leone's friend, Jackie Quast, painted these reproduction paintings of the Nancy Drew Russell H. Tandy covers for The Secret of the Old Clock, The Hidden Staircase, and The Bungalow Mystery. They are very nice copies!


Leone shared the painting for The Hidden Staircase with fans at the Nancy Drew Sleuths' 2012 Convention!
