Pattern 111: Making and Baking

Some more work from my ongoing project - I really do like making patterns!

Amnesty International Party 2010

All over London people have been spending the day recovering from Amnesty 2010 - our friends' yearly quest to save the human. This year the ways of raising money included a human fruit machine and a silent auction, in addition to the usual set of wonderful performances. The framed illustration shown above was my contribution to the auction, having decided I could not possibly risk singing again this year.

The other picture shows my 'Save the Human Biscuit Men' - recipe courtesy of Kate Slater, heart decorations courtesy of Kate and Ant's wedding leftovers...

PSS: Home Produce!

So, what with all this lovely sunshine, we've b

een fairly successful in our first attempt at a vegetable patch. Below is one of our very enthusiastic courgette plants; its produce has been made into stirfrys, pasta dishes, salads... and I reckon we still have at least another 30 courgettes to transform into something delicious...

And below - more home grown deliciousness in the form of redcurrents, transformed here into redcurrent and cinnamon muffins!

PSS: K&A's wedding cupcakes...

The image on the left is an illustration I did based on the 6 cupcake designs that my cousin Kate and I developed for her and Ant's wedding. Obviously giving the cake designs individual names isn't strictly necessary, but we couldn't resist! 

Ever wondered what the ingredients for 100 cupcakes looks like...?

I am spending what I imagine will be the vast majority of the day baking 100 cupcakes for my cousin Kate's wedding to Ant on Saturday! I will post pictures of the  finished, decorated cakes after the wedding!!
