It was only a two tier cake and I used fresh flowers for decoration,I made this for our neighbours and we were also invited to the wedding so that kept me busy for a few days.Our daughter is involved with a charity called Community Needs and I was also helping out.I donated a few of my paintings ,so I was busy getting them framed and ready.I donated the hire of my vases and silk flowers for their charity event on Sunday. I think they raised about £1200 for Africa.Alot of the work was carried out by local kids of all backgrounds,its given them skills and a huge boost to their confidence.Not to mention keeping them out of trouble.
So I've had quite alot going on this past week,its all been good ,but I've also been doing some soul searching about which direction my art is going in.I think I'm on the right track ,but I also want to explore different mediums from next year and possibly enrol for some short courses running in and around London.
So glad everything is ok Azra! I was about to write and check on you. This cake is really beautiful. I'm sure the recipients were thrilled.
ReplyDeleteHi Azra, I have also been busy with family. Our lives aren't only about painting. Love this beautiful cake, which is an art in itself. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones. And happy living and painting in the new year!

ReplyDeleteThank you for your good wishes and I hope 2012 will be a year of hopes realized (in painting, I have no doubt!). This cake is amazing, so beautiful that it must be difficult to cut into pieces. But I read that to share, you're ready to do a lot ... Generous Azra !
ReplyDeleteHai Azra. I thought I already became a follower of your blog, but I wasn't. But now I am! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should make a living by making these beautiful cakes. Can you send a little piece to Holland so I can taste it? Just a tienie wienie little piece in an enveloppe?
I wish you and your family all the best for 2012!
Hello Azra! Thanks for joining my blog a while ago. Now, I get the pleasure of visiting yours with great pleasure. Love your poinsettias! :)
ReplyDeleteI read you plan to explore more in the coming year! Me too. There's so much to learn still.
I wish you Health and Happy painting!
