    Cookie Girl is a skewed fairy tale character. She is surrounded by animals much like a Disney Princess. But her pet chicken pisses people off by drinking booze from their glasses, the baby bird they saved life is hanging by a thread and the squirrel in her garden seems to be inhabited by her dead mum. 


    Behind the scenes of her successful media image she will expose us to the seamy underbelly of the baking world. Don’t be fooled by her instagram shots, push back from the frame and see the real ‘story’. The mess and chaos is a reflection of her inner world. Her cakes may look like they could be served at Versailles, but what were her and Boy doing with that piping bag and did they wipe down the kitchen Island afterwards? Cookies spiked with hallucinogens, phallic cupcakes and tuna in the biscuit mix, all conjured up in a kitchen that is far from hygienic. And are there really elves doing her baking, are the gingerbread men & women actually making babies Is it all a symptom of her drug use or just a sign that she is on the verge of a mental breakdown?
