John Has A Cake-Up!

Baking a cake can be quite fun! And the results are rewarding, a cake more delicious than can be bought. Droey and Co have tried their hand at baking a cake. With Ida's skills, Droey's precision and Tenvad's intellect, little can go wrong. Or so they thought.

John, ironically the most culinary experienced, is the one who had to rain on their parade, accidentally. The problem with John is that he tends to rush some things and that includes icing the cake. In fact he shot the icing right at the cake, causing the icing to ricochet all over them!

This piece was so delightfully fun to put together! Originally Anne wasn't going to be included but I decided that she might as well and so the awesome five came together for the first time in ages. Additionally the intended result would be everyone working to make the cake, rather than living with the regret of putting John in charge of icing the cake. It just seemed like the perfect idea and gave me an oppurtunity to try something new.

The colouring for this piece is where I got experimental. Rather than outline the perimeters of the icing I would colour outside of the icing and use dot patterns to create a splattered effect. I tried initially for pastel colours but broke away from this, hence some areas being two colours like Ida's hair and Droey's shirt.

You may have noticed that Anne and Ida are not in their usual attire, this is because they are in DIY attire, plus an apron for Anne, which is just as well given the mess that has been made!

Are you a culinary artist or have you drawn any culinary antics yourself? Maybe give either of those a shot, you'll end up with either something delicious or a bit of development for your characters!
