Illustration Friday - Cake
Baking a cake is half the fun!!
My mother always made cakes from scratch, she still does as she refuses to believe cakes from a bakery are better than hers.
As kids, she always let us help and I used to enjoy it so much. When I was really young I used to create my own 'pretend' cakes with all sorts - mud, shampoo, sugar - whatever I could find.

I think that is the best of your illustrations I have seen so far! I love it. The colours are gorgeous. Have to say I agree with your mother too. Nothing like home baking.
I love the drawing and I love what you wrote about it!
What a wonderful sketch you have made of a wonderful memory. Love it.
What a wonderful illustration. I love what you did - so personal and lovely. Bringing up such fond childhood memories of baking cakes. Beautiful illio just beautiful.
Wonderful scene, Anastasia - and so true! I love the little one sneaking a taste...
A very tender moment, and nicely done

Gorgeous drawing!

I love the the feeling in this illustration. the colors are wonderful too!
I agree with your mom. There is nothing quite like a homemade cake. I have so many fond memories of my grandmother's confections ~ and I always got to lick the mixers!
Lovely illo, lovely family :)
Awww, this is so sweet and endearing. I love baking with my kids. Very messy but always fun.
Great creativity in making cakes with foreign substances! Love that! Lovely drawing to go with the writing!
