The 2015 Pinkorama Round-Up
2015 is a banner year in the annals of the Pinkorama. We have five beautiful scenes, each unique and crafted with sugary care. And, for the first time, also a recipe!
So many thanks to Rachel, Nikki, Christine, Pam, Colleen, Candance, and Cassandra for these Pink peep recreations! I am so in awe of your talent, ladies.
Without further ado, the round-up (in order of appearance in my inbox):
1. Robert’s Peeposal, by Rachel:
Rachel brings us Robert’s proposal to Charlotte from Pink V, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine, complete with swan a-swimming, inquisitive squirrel, raspberry tarts, and even a benevolent unicorn.
To see the full set of pictures, just click here.
2. Love at First Peep, by Nikki:
In an eerie midnight garden in Mayfair, Nikki brings us Love at First Peep: Sally Fitzhugh’s first meeting with Lucien, Duke of Dovedale in Pink XI, The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla. Is he or is he not a Vampeep?
For more detail, click here.
3. The Vampeep, by Christine:
What if Lucien really were a Vampeep? And Sally happened to stumble upon him in his (delectable pound cake) coffin? A Pink alternative history– and a recipe!– from Christine.
For the recipe, click here.
4. A Peepingly Good Time at Farley Castle, by Pam and Colleen:
Pam and Colleen transport us to Christmas of 1803 and The Mischief of the Mistletoe. Arabella Dempsey and her good friend Jane Austen have been conveyed to the frost fair at Farley Castle by none other than our favorite root vegetable, Mr. Turnip Fitzhugh– but are they ready for the mysterious pudding that lies in wait?
For more pictures, click here.
5. Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen, by Candace and Cassandra:
The gang’s all here! It’s back to the Tuileries Palace and Pink I, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, as Richard, Amy, Jane, and Augustus look on in shock as Miss Gwen lets Napoleon know how she really feels about his high-handed ways… with the application of a purple parasol.

Thank you so much, Rachel, Nikki, Christine, Colleen, Pam, Candace and Cassandra!
I love how clever and how different each of these is. I don’t think I could pick a favorite if I tried.
What about you? Do you have a favorite Pinkorama? Just place your vote below and I’ll tally it all up on Wednesday….
Since Manzanilla seems to have edged out the other books for Pinkorama supremacy this year, one person who votes, chosen at random, will receive a signed copy of The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla.
Robert’s Peeposal
Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen!
Robert’s peeposal, very hard to pick however
Robert’s Peeposal. Although I’m always a fan of cats in boxes!
I’ve got to go with the Farley Castle! Although it was close between that and Napoleon meets Miss Gwen.
#5 Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen. That one was so cute!
Although I like Robert’s proposal because I’m currently re-reading the entire series and am now on Night a Jasmine, I have to say Napeepelon meets Miss Gwen gets my vote because it’s the most interestingly detailed one!
Robert’s Peeposal! Beautifully done!
I think I have to vote for Farley castle for the cravats and costumes in general.
#4
#4
So. Very. Hard. To. Decide. But I’m going to go with Napeepleon because of sentimentality.
All are beautifully done, but my favorite is Farley Castle! Love the costumes!
4. A Peepingly Good Time at Farley Castle, by Pam and Colleen
All the way! Look at those costumes!
WOW – I love it! Beautiful work!
#4 gets my vote!
So creative! Love it
Wow, this is hard. They are all fantastic. However I love the costumes in # 4. So my vote goes to:
4. A Peepingly Good Time at Farley Castle, by Pam and Colleen:
I vote for 5. Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen
But they are all fabulous!
Farley Castle, definitely. The detail on was incredible. Turnip’s pink coat and cravat! Mary’s jewels! Vaugh’s sneer! Add Jane Austen to that and it’s a winner.
Vaughn, sorry.
All are wonderful, but must vote for Farley Castle #4.
#5 would be my second choice – love Napeepleon.
Have to go with Robert’s proposal, but they are all, very cool!
Am in awe of the tiles in Napoleon Meets Miss Gwen.
#5
#1 Robert’s Peeposal, definitely! So cute!
#2 (but I am biased because I know how much time I spent on it).
So hard, but I’m going with Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen, because she’s purple, and that is awesome.
#4
#2 I love the shadows and atmosphere!
Farley Castle- also for the costumes! (I am in awe at someone who can tie a cravat on a peep).
When in doubt, always go with Miss Gwen!
They are all so creative! Kudos to all of the designers! It is very difficult to choose. My vote is for A Peepingly Good Time at Farley Castle. I would like to give an honorable mention to Miss Gwen and her parasol,though.
I love them all! My very favourite, though, is Farley Castle. Turnip and his Waistcoat always win, in my opinion. And now I want some sugar. And a Turnip.
They are all amazing and I want to vote for them all. If I have to pick just one, I pick Farley Castle. Great job everyone!
I think they’re all great! And it was close for me but I’ll go with Napeepleon Meets Miss Gwen. Good job to all the participants!
