BAKING, BECAUSE MURDER IS WRONG — Retro Kitchen Humour Print | Printable Vintage Wall Art | MooLALA Retro
She's smiling. The pie is perfect. Everyone in the vicinity should consider themselves very fortunate indeed — Baking, Because Murder is Wrong is 1950s charm with a knowing wink and absolutely no regrets.
This original illustrated print from the MooLALA Retro collection captures a gloriously cheerful pin-up baker at her most radiant and her most dangerous. A confident, auburn-haired beauty in a navy polka-dot dress and crisp white apron holds a freshly baked cherry pie aloft, steam rising from the golden lattice crust, her smile suggesting she has made excellent choices today and is very glad about it. Warm golden light floods the scene, the checkered diner table and vintage kitchen behind her soft and dreamy, the whole composition painted in the rich, cinematic oil style of golden age American illustration. The message above her head, in elegant cream script, says everything the rest of us have been thinking but were too polite to put on our walls.
This is kitchen humour at its most fabulous — warm, witty and armed with pastry. Inspired by the golden age of the American kitchen — when the pies were perfect, the aprons were pressed, and the women who wore them were considerably more complex than anyone gave them credit for — this is Baking, Because Murder is Wrong as it deserves to be on your wall.
