For those of you who know me reasonably well, it will be common knowledge to you that I don't cook. Ever. Some may call that laziness, others...well, they may say it's a matter of health and safety - my other great talent is clumsiness. But I myself like to think of it as a missing gene, a love for cooking that just never became a part of my DNA - one of lifes great mysteries. I'm an artist for Gods sake! I don't have the patience for all that measuring and timing and washing of dishes. I just want to cut straight to the fun stuff...the eating and the "making it pretty" parts! BUT (there had to be one, truly) on very, very rare and momentous occassions I have the urge to make something....something pretty and edible. Naturally, these urges never venture out of my favourite (and IMHO the most important) of the food groups - The Desserts. As it just so happens, today was one of those occassions. "What was the occassion?" I hear you pondering. Well, it was Thursday. Good enough reason as any for cake I think. Cake. Oh yes, that glorious food that comes in so many delicious flavours and styles. Cupcakes in particular were my craving for the day. But these were no ordinary cupcakes, oh no. I needed something really exciting to get me in the kitchen. I'm not going to lie to you - I didn't completely break out of my comfort zone because I technically didn't make these from scratch (oh come on, everybody buys packet mix!)...but I did modify the recipe to make them this awesome. Besides, it's not how it's made that matters with these - it's how they look. I present to you - Danika's uber-fantastic-deliciously-colourful rainbow cakes! ----------- And for the record - yes, that is me in the picture. Proof that these rare cooking sessions do actually occur!

I hereby declare that from this day forth, all Fridays shall be known as "Illustration Friday". Under these new laws, ye shall be witness to a new artwork each week - thus providing Danika with much to do.
Let it also be known that any peasant foolish enough to point out that, in fact, this declaration was made on a Saturday will be punished thus. By order of the artist, Danika.

Come on, own up - who flicked the switch from Autumn to Winter? Someone must have done it...how else can anyone explain the months worth of rain we've just recieved in two days?! Not to mention the bloody cold winds!! On the plus side, I get to wear all of my awesome winter accessories. Scarves, beanies, gloves and mittens are all on the agenda... in particular I'm loving my "glittens", a fantastic hybrid between fingerless gloves and regular old mittens - practical one minute, and with just the flick of a wrist your freezing digits are all snug and warm! Everyone should own a pair. Also, my hot chocolate consumption has definately gone up - all in the name of warmth, or course! I suggest people follow suit. Find someone loved to snuggle up with, or just head straight for the hot chocolate! Keep warm ^_^

...and to all a good night!! Yeah, ok, I know it's not Christmas - or even near it for that matter! But it is getting colder, so snow scenes are popping up in my head. And hey, you can't be too prepared right? So in honour of my festive spirit I'm giving you a brand new Christmas card (with more to come!) featuring a cute little robin family. Click Here to view and purchase from the online store! I couldn't stop at just one though, and I've been working on a new reindeer picture. (It's my new Christmas favourite, lol). This one is being made into a Christmas card at this very moment, so expect to see it in the store very soon. Ok, ready? Altogether now.... "Awwwww....." 
...Now be good, or Santa won't come! Until next time, Over and Out!

Woah, look out people - she's on a roll now! Another brand spankin' new picture for your viewing pleasure....and no, it's not another bunny! *cheers* It was suggested to me by an oh-so-wise friend that it would actually be a good idea to use the little birdy from the header of my site in a full scale image. She was right! And so I have. I give you "Twitter Song" - not only pretty to look at, but also available to buy as a Mother's Day greeting card (click here) and a Pictogram (click here)! Oh sweet, sweet progress.
