A lovely wonky pie.


not much drawing happening lately,
but lots of baking - particularly from the Peyton & Byrne British Baking book, including this lovely rhubarb tart/pie thing. mine is definitely not as neat as the one in the book, but it changed my Dad's life long dislike of rhubarb, so doing something right!
Its nice to make pastry for a change, something I'm not that practised at, more to come!

Cupcakes for tea & coffee fiends!



Tea Monster cupcakes for mum topped with dinosaurs climbing up towards great shards of Rich Tea biscuit, and Coffee Lover looking kinda girly for dad.

French Macarons!




I've been doing alot of cooking and baking recently, including macarons. I was asked to make them as wedding favours, took a while to master the recipes, but I'm so pleased I persevered! it felt like a real achievement making 140 - 70 rosewater and 70 pistachio.
I suppose since leaving university and northampton I haven't been challenging myself creatively so much and this reminded me how good it can feel.
