I’ve been doing quite a bit of drawing for the Inklets recently, and it’s lots of fun. I’m okay with black and white drawings – this was always my strength in art at school, too – but colour? That’s another story. But then I had this idea as I was falling asleep the other night

Behold, cake! It’s been a while since I caked last (I’m taking on significantly fewer cake projects this year, both because of the probable-celiac diagnosis and because sanity, I hear, is a Thing), but it was super fun working on this gorgeous birthday cake this weekend. The brief was two-tier in teal, pink and gold.

I’ve been kind of binge watching art videos this last week, I’ll be honest. I mentioned on Monday that I’ve really been missing making physical art in the last year or two. I used to draw A LOT in high school (in years 11 and 12, I carried a sketch book around with my notebook
