It’s my birthday this month and every year I make chocolate chip cookies from a recipe I found online and copied down years ago. These cookies are magic. They are what I use to bribe people, they are how I befriend new neighbour, and they are my self-care when I’m feeling low.
One of the artists at last month’s Draw-la-la suggested “baked goods” as a prompt for this month. What a wonderful opportunity to let you all eat cake! Or bread. Or cookies.
So break bread with me, bake me a cake, treat yo’self.
Your Prompt
If you are a baker:
Bake something brand new or tried and true. Copy the recipe down on paper and illustrate it! Make sure to use ink that doesn’t bleed, or you will end up with a recipe you can’t read (if you are a messy baker like I am).
If you are a muncher:
Go and buy or yourself something tasty from your local bakery or take a pilgrimage to Schiedam to have a tasty treat from Bas at de Bakkerette (my favourite baker). Make a day of it!
Draw your tasty baked treat and admire it… then devour it.
Upcoming Event
