It's been a while since I my last EDM post, but this week's theme somehow made me think of something I usually would have in October when I am at home with my family. It's blueberry layered cake! It's my favorite kind actually, and my mom's and my birthdays are in October, so we'd normally have 2 cakes in the month, and one of them is always blueberry layered cake. I haven't had any for 3 years now since I started working here in Germany, but my co-workers usually would bring me out for something exotic. Last time it was TGIF in Oslo, Norway(yeah I know it doesn't sound exotic, but there isn't any TGIF in Germany), and this time maybe Mongolian buffet dinner somewhere in Cologne.Thank you all for your comments on my previous post, and it's been fun doing things in colors again. Although I won't be having any blueberry cake in my mouth tomorrow, I'd consider this is the blueberry cake for myself in my heart(and on my Moleskine), Happy Birthday Alex! ^^
Wow, blueberry layered cake. I love blueberries, I've never had it in a cake. It looks delicious! Very nice job on the drawing! Did you use colored markers? Oh, and Happy Birthday!

ReplyDeleteI am surprised that blueberry cake is uncommon outside Southeast Asia. I think me and Tanna will have to bake our own someday. EDMers are welcome to share a slice of course! :)
Well, I had never heard of blueberry cake before and it looks absolutely yummy! Happy birthday Alex! Here's to you getting here soon!! Look forward to having you as a neighbor! (well, next state over is neighbor-ish when you think of it in terms of international, doesn't it?)

By the way, I've been meaning to tell you how wonderful your comments are to other artists. I always read them and you are always so kind, so helpful and you elaborate on why you like what you see. Your comments are always so complete and insightful.

That being said...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy birthday! Color! I commented on your last post, and didn't even notice you are using color! What vibrant color on this one! Looks painted (though I think you are using markers, right?) Love the way you are trying different things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious drawing! The colors are striking, and the soft fluffiness of the cake is very well captured! Whipped cream looks very real, yam...
ReplyDeleteHappy Bday!
