Candied Violets

I really enjoy making illustrations of recipes and processes that I actually do. This means that the instructions are a little vague on amounts (as I usually am!), but they're a good way for me to remember how I did things.

These cupcakes were for Vivien's birthday. She was turning 11 last week, and I needed a pretty decoration for her dessert. When I delivered the cupcakes to her house, she had left a card for me, thanking me for making her birthday extra special. It made my day!
