I love to cook, but honestly baking has never really been my thing. I’m well known in my circle for producing oddly shaped birthday cakes and cookies that taste….um…“unique”.
That being said, if anything were ever going to make me attempt to bake again, it might just be these amazingly fun vegan Gingerbread Punks submitted by Isa on the Post Punk Kitchen.
I love the punks, but I’m thinking of decorating mine as Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Pat Benatar, and maybe Karen O. Oh, and M.I.A., because a gingerbread gal would look amazing in her beautiful baby-belly bearing Grammy outfit!
Who would yours be?
If you make them, be sure to let us know where we can find pics of your rebel baking masterpieces!

I like your idea! Maybe in honour of Lilith Fair coming back you could make some of Sarah McLachlan, Lisa Loeb, Liz Phair and Sinead O'Connor. ;)

I would like a Cyndi Lauper cookie right now. And maybe a Debbie Harry cookie after that. I dig the new wave confections.
Then maybe a slice of this Tina Turner cake: http://tinyurl.com/m4g7gj

And while we're on feminist musician heroes, maybe you need a (non-edible) Yoko Ono action figure?!?

And how about non-musical heros like Simone de Beauvior and Emma Goldman - I see lots of dark coloured frosting for their clothes.

Sounds like the makings of a Shameless bake sale -- decorate a cookie version of your own feminist hero.
Look for it at a future Shameless party!

I'd make a Beth Ditto (The Gossip), a Theo Kogan (Lunachicks) and all the members of Sleater-Kinney!
