Having learned all the doodling and colouring techniques over the past few weeks, I thought I would put them into practise on a birthday card for a granddaughter. I haven't add her age, as I thought she might want to frame the card into a picture at some point.
I also knocked up a quick cake for her to try and make this isolation birthday a little bit special. Nothing fancy as she was only at her Dad's for the morning of her birthday. She wanted a brownie mix cake, and just a small one. with water icing on it as they don't like sugarpaste. So it was an experiment to try and cook brownie in a small round tin instead of an 8" square tin (In hindsight probably should have gone for a 6" square - it might have made it easier to trim!).
Brownies by their very nature are crispy and crumbly on the top and sides and gooey on the base. I turned the cake upside down - that will give her a surprise when she cuts it and finds the goo under the water icing! I didn't realise how much had crumbled off until I took the photo - If I had realise I would have turned into a heart shape. Not one of my best efforts - but at least it will taste good as a favourite mix and it's the thought that counts and that she has cake!)
