VeganMoFo Day 03: Lemon Cake!

It's happy cake time! Nik's birthday was last week, and though I would have loved to make him a super rainbow layer cake, he's more of a lemon and vanilla kind of dude.  Delicious though!  I used the vanilla cupcake and lemon buttercream out of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, with lotsa extra added lemon zest and juice. 

Super-happy rainbow cake is for sale here. 

Medium: Watercolor on heavy Arches paper
Size: Approximately 8"x8" (image size is 7"x7")
Will fit in 8"x8" frame! Signed on back.

Note: I am doing a painting-a-day challenge for VeganMoFo, and will be creating a new painting of rescue animals or vegan food throughout the month of October, and placing them for sale. All proceeds (minus shipping) will be donated to For the Animals Sanctuary, because they are a pretty super-great non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary, in Blairstown NJ, and are vegan owned and operated. Feeding, housing, and taking care of these animals costs a lot of money, and as a non-profit organization, they rely entirely on donations. Hopefully (with your help!), I'll be able to make a size-able donation at the end of the month!

Rainbow mountains

I went to Lake Pleasant this weekend and had a blast with some friends and nature. Good food, sights, friends, and laughs always makes for a nice get-away. We did a lot of hiking on saturday; Up to a waterfall and then across a river! Being in the woods, surrounded by the pretty moss and fungi and tiny plants and bendy roots is always inspiring and I got some good nature shots, I think.

Back to the grind tomorrow and I have a huuuuge "to-do" list to get done this week. Hopefully I can stick with it!
