    The Online Book Store

    13 books - cookbooks and sewing manuals - spread out in a fan design.

    Cookbooks

    As a former award winning cake artist, Marie was known as much for her delicious and diverse flavor menu as for her sugar artistry, with her work appearing in magazines and blogs around the world.

    Marie's cookbooks cover such topics as "ridiculously delicious cakes", using spirits and liqueurs as flavouring agents, cooking with corn, and cooking with hops.

    Marie's collection of cookbook releases also includes gluten-free cookbooks - Beyond Flour and Beyond Flour 2 - that were tested exclusively on people who were NOT gluten-free, to ensure the recipes are actually "As good as the real thing", as well as a fantastic Canadian cookbook.

    Visit our online book store to view all of the titles, information on each, and to order!

    Spandex Sewing Manuals

    Prior to her cake career, Marie Porter had an illustrious career in spandex costuming. Now, you can learn all of her secrets to spandex design and sewing! Marie's Spandex Simplified series are all about designing and creating spectacular and durable competitive sports costuming.

    These books are appropriate for beginner to advanced levels of sewing ability, and is written from both a designer, and former “performance” athlete’s point of view. They teach everything from the basics, to tricks of the trade. The "Spandex Simplified" series will prepare the reader to design and make almost any design of competitive synchro suit, skating dress, or gymnastics leotard imaginable. Given the cost of decent competition suits, these manuals each pay for themselves with the savings from just one project!

    The books are written completely in laymans' terms and carefully explained, step by step. Only basic sewing knowledge and talent is required. Learn everything from measuring, to easily creating ornate applique designs, to embellishing the finished suit in one book!

    Figure Skate Soakers

    A sewing machine with hands holding up a skating soaker (blade cover), with a finished pair in the foreground.

    Marie sews her soakers in small batches - only 2-6 pairs are available in each style! Most of the fabrics are ones we won't be able to get again ... so if you see something you like, be sure to grab it before it's gone. Makes a great gift for the skaters in your life!

    Each listing is for one pair of handmade Soakers, as pictured. (Photos show both pieces, nested). Outer fabric is a cotton print, inner is absorbent terrycloth to help prevent rusting*. Unstretched, elastic measures approximately 8" across. Fully stretched soaker length is about 16" across. Made in Canada.

    *As always, be sure to dry your blades off well before storing your skates after a session, even with soakers!

    Eye of Sauron Ornaments

    A round Christmas ornament, hand painted to look like an Eye of Sauron.

    He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake...

    These ornaments are perfect for any Tolkien fan on your gift list, this ornament will add a special something to any geek’s holiday tree – Lord of the Rings themed, or not. Go ahead, hang it next to a TARDIS, it’s all good!

    Ornaments are all hand painted on plastic (Marie is a cat owner, and can’t wrap her head around glass ornaments hanging from a tree!), are durable, and look great! The “Eye” is painted on both sides of each ornament, so it looks great from multiple angles. Due to the hand painted nature of these ornaments, no two will be exactly alike – expect some degree of variation from the photos shown.

    Click here to visit our Eye of Sauron Ornaments page for more info and to purchase.
