This hand painted cake was for a chap, who lived in Donegal, Dublin and Kilcoole. I chose landmarks from these areas to be depicted on this 5" round cake:
Mt. Errigal in Co.Donegal, The chimney stacks of Poolbeg viewed from Sandymount Strand and The Big Sugarloaf viewed from Kilcoole beach across the breaches.
I first sketched the rough outlines with pencil, then airbrushed the sky and some of the water and beach areas and then painted over it with dusts and gel/liquid colours mixed with water and alcohol. Some of the little sheep and houses I carved into the icing with a lino cutting tool
