I have spent an inordinate amount of time this weekend dip-dyeing and dehydrating slices of fresh apples and pears, and watercolouring and gold dusting sheets and sheets of edible sugar wafer paper, to turn both into decorations for a four layer pistachio, cardamom and rose cake I'm baking. Origami leaves etc planned for the sugar paper.
The results are pretty and everything, but I'm gonna have to explain to my first external work meeting tomorrow that despite the appearance of my hands, I have not, in fact, murdered a clown.
