Sweet Recipe of the Month

I've made thousands of this recipe, Orange & Poppyseed Cake.  Back in the early 90's I owned a wholesale bakery and I used to deliver cakes from Palm Beach to North Sydney.  This cake was one of my most popular ones I used to make.  

So it is safe to say that the recipe is a good one :) and hopefully you will enjoy it too! 

Art Journal Prompt -

"Mood Mandala"

Instructions:    

• Making a mandala: Approach it with a relaxed mindset, avoiding pressure.   Focus on doodling and achieving symmetry.

• Colour, Shape, and Pattern Selection: Choose colours, shapes, and patterns that evoke positive feelings.  

• Creation Process:  Begin from the center with one shape. Progress outward, incorporating diverse strokes, shapes, and patterns.  Adjust line thicknesses, experiment with coloring techniques, and textures.

• Personalisation:  Reflect on aspects of your life. Incorporate symbols with personal significance and emotions.

 Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Sketchbook or Journal or a large piece of cardboard: For the journal, choose one with thick, sturdy pages that can withstand various mediums.  Something between 200 - 300 gsm is good.

2. Painting & Drawing Tools: pencils, pens, markers, watercolours, paints, paintbrush.

3. 30 mins of time or as much time as you need.
