I LOVED my time as Artist in Residence at Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston, TAS. I showed the students my practice of baking cakes from the Women's Weekly Birthday Cake Book, photographing them, and painting them.

Probably my favourite cake from the Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book; the iconic duck cake. In the process of making this painting I also made the cake to use as a reference. I was thoroughly delighted and frustrated by how difficult it was to make.

This never really turned into anything I wanted to paint but I thought the photo was cool so I’ll share it anyway.
This is a model of my house made from lollies and biscuits in a fairy floss cloud.

Instead of reading more news I'm going to look back on this painting I did of a balloon dinosaur. I invite you to do the same.

Full image and details from my last painting “Zoo Cake” oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches. The last image is of the actual cake I made after it was partially eaten by friends. I have to say, blue jelly and chocolate cake is a weird flavour combo.

Another Women's Weekly cake painting on its way out the door. This one was the iconic dolly varden cake which had to be one of the most popular cakes for Aussie kids growing up in the 80's and 90's.

I'm more than a little obsessed with the Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book. Working on my painting of the zoo cake was such a joy. And with Cadbury flake chocolate bars as logs it was also delicious.
