I finally finished my essay today!! Although i still have a report to write :(. But anyways i thought id give myself the night off and thought it would be good to do a little life update post as i haven't posted anything in a while! (sorry about that)
So last week was just an average week at uni although it was quite chilled out compared to most weeks. I got some nice things done with my illustrations involving a pony and pink fluffyness! Here is a little peek at that :)

| awhh poor pony :( |
So yeah as the week was just going on as 'normal' and it got to Wednesday and because my teacher is a little bit crazy he had set up something called the 'Great Illustration Bake off.' This was where my class went and baked cakes and decorated them to match the illustrations that we are currently working on, It was so fun!! Our team made vanilla cup cakes and it was very messy to say the least. There was cake mix and icing sugar EVERYWHERE!! so yeah we all got on with decorating our cakes. I decided to make an ice cream cone unicorn horn because there is one in the story that i am illustrating! i was basing it off the little sketch that i had done below :)
I used pink icing that i had made for the ice cream, and put an ice cream cone on top of it. Okay so it wasn't the most complicated of designs but I WON!!! I think it was because i had thought a but more outside of the box instead of just drawing a design onto the top of the cake. Everyones designs were really good and it was a lovely fun little afternoon. So yeah i didn't win anything physically but it was nice anyway. Here are some pictures of the finished cake and some other photos from the day.

I recorded all of the shenanigans on my phone because i thought it would be fun to keep the memories from it. Who knows maybe one day i will edit it into a proper video and show it to the world :O
Hope you enjoyed that little fun light hearted post i love posts like these and might start doing them more often. Let me know what you think about that in the comments.
Thanks a lot
