This is the story of TangerineBadger. She's very particular about her food, so she likes to take brunch in a certain way.
Every Sunday, she sleeps in late before taking the time to prepare a leisurely meal of Eggs Benedict, cereal, bread, fresh fruit, orange juice, champa...
Sometimes she has to drive for miles, just to find the perfect spot for a picnic brunch.
She believes that selecting the appropriate surroundings is key to fully appreciating a good meal. Ideally, she'll take her brunch to a spot that affo...
Rather than just plonking herself down willy-nilly atop an open hill, TangerineBadger likes to take a little bit of care in choosing her brunching sea...
Of course, it's not quite that simple. The above tale of a stylish young mountaineer taking her weekly brunches casually dangling from cliff-tops is ...
Although you might think that the hardest part of this project was the rock climbing, it was preparing the tray of brunch that took most of our time. ...
To make sure that our mountainside brunch didn't plummet to an untimely end, we had to secure it to our climber with a sturdy strap. This was as much ...
The upper surface of the tray was made from two bamboo place-mats, glued side by side to the cardboard box. As the mats were slightly larger than the...
The ham in our Eggs Benedict was made from wide ribbon, which we cut into shape and painted with acrylic paint. Notice the careful detailing on the pe...
The egg was made by whittling a bar of soap to roughly the required shape and size using a sharp knife. We removed any visible corners by washing our ...
To keep the eggs and ham firmly affixed to our roll (well, half-roll) we skewered the whole lot on a thick wood screw, using a screwdriver to embed it...
A few dabs of yellow acrylic paint provided the finishing touch to our Eggs Benedict.
To give the illusion of milk and keep the bowl nice and light, we filled the bowl with cotton wool which we glued down. We then covered the cotton woo...
To create the water in the flower vase, the champagne and the coffee in both the pot and the cup, we used extremely thickly set gelatine, dyed to diff...
For this meal's floral accompaniment, we trimmed some plastic flowers to size and glued them in place in a vase (actually an empty glass IV infusion b...
The champagne was made by gently tinting a small portion of gelatine with coffee, then pouring it into a plastic champagne glass to set.
To make the steam for the coffee, we glued a ball of cotton wool to the base of a small coffee cup. Inside the cotton wool we glued a thin white twis...
For the full effect of coffee being poured, it was vital that we had the coffee at the correct angle inside the jug. To achieve this, we wedged the em...
To make a poseable stream of coffee, we glued a strip of ribbon around some twist ties and painted it with brown acrylic paint. This made a rough flat...
Altogether, the effect was rather pleasing.
The Daily Instructable was made using this template found at presentationmagazine.com. We edited the text of the front page, then printed it off and ...
To make the orange juice, we painted two-thirds of the way up the inside of an old glass tumbler with orange acrylic paint. We then cut out and painte...
We took two slightly stale crusty rolls and secured them to the inside of a light bread basket using a pair of screws (see picture). We also used a li...
Once we had all of the individual items assembled, we had to secure them all very firmly to the tray somehow. The last thing we wanted was for a coffe...
It's always nice to have supportive relatives, but this got tested to a maximum when undertaking this project. We want to thank TangerineBadger's pare...
Once the glue had all dried, we tested whether everything held together at various angles. The second and third image in this section were both taken...
Now that we had our props prepared, the next stage was to get everything to the climbing site. Here's where it helps to have a sherpa who will be resp...
Then came the arduous trek through the forest and up into the mountains. This is a lot easier when you're not carrying a tray, even if it is mostly co...
Time and adverse weather prevented us from taking more photos of our climbing location, but here is a great photo of Wielandstein from flickr.com, use...
The Wielandstein is a popular spot for rock climbers in the area, so we were pleased to find a few other groups present on the day. Most of them took ...
Next we had to get the tray to the summit of the cliff. This is where the safety strap on its underside came in handy. With the brunch tray firmly st...
TangerineBadger followed the same route up to the peak, with PenfoldPlant belaying her from above. To make climbing in pyjamas and bathrobes easier, w...
Now that we were both at the summit of the cliff, we needed to the return PenfoldPlant to the base so that he could take photos of TangerineBadger des...
PenfoldPlant then scuttled off to a good vantage point from which to take photographs.
After making sure that everyone (model, photographer, belayer and anxious relatives) was in position, TangerineBadger strapped the brunch tray to her ...
All that remained was to take suitably cool looking pictures of a seriously cool project. TB: and by all that remains, we mean that it had started to...
At last, brunch and model returned safely to the ground, everyone untied from the rope, and our kind volunteer assistant could return home. No-one wa...
