My Sugar Skull inspiration this year is a celebration of my beloved parents. I enjoyed hand painting their portraits of when they were younger, using my favourite photos of them as my guide. I owe them both so much and so pleased I always listened and took on board their advise. I got to know and understand them . Over the years I developed a close relationship with them both and cherish their letters, including those between them both I now have in my possession. I cared and loved them so much. The sugar flowers are a mixture of tropical and English as we were a much travelled family from India, to Africa to UK. My skull is made from modelling chocolate and hand painted.

Many thanks to dear Berry and the Team at #SugarSkullBakers2015 for yet another anazing collaboration!!! Well done to all for thier amazing entries!!

And these are the photos I worked from, love them so much xx
