vintage rosebuds


The sky has looked grumpy all day and now it is pouring. Not just raining, but pouring. Gurgling and spluttering in the down pipes. When it’s like this, I wish we had gargoyles on our roof, like those I admired in Paris. Anyway, I thought I needed to brighten the day with cake. So here’s a picture. I call it vintage rosebuds on primrose. Impossibly pretty and inspired by my love of vintage wallpaper designs and fine china. The rosebud cabochons are moulded by hand in sugar paste, then when dry, hand-painted and glazed so they resemble porcelain. The rain has stopped!
