Cape protea #552

Daily painting #552 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook NFS

One of my favourite flowers and of course the Cape is home to the protea and fynbos that I love so much. We went for a long walk through the beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens. It sits right at the foot of the mountain and I wish I could share a million photos with you, words just cannot explain the beauty!

Cookie Monster cupcake #551

Daily painting #551 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook NFS 

We went to the famous Charlie's Bakery today and Amy ordered a Cookie Monster cupcake. Charlie's Bakery has its own TV show and is like the South African version of 'The Cake Boss'. It's a quaint little building and the decor inside is gorgeous! From the counter you can look into the back working area where novelty cakes are being assembled for various functions. Trying to choose from all the little cupcake varieties, novelty cookies and cakes is so hard....everything looks so delicious! I have to admit to needing a HUGE glass of water after all the sugar!
