Y is for YUMMY FOOD🍪

Hey everybody, here's the fifth letter in my name, Y. Today's gif is titled, "Yummy Things".🍪
This gif should sheds some light on how little self-control I have when it comes to sweet things. If only I could look this cute when I eat.

Just 3 more letters to go and then we'll be done! Tomorrow will be the letter A!

Nostalgic Treat - Koeksisters

Here's a heavily textured and rustic painting of a traditional South African koeksister which are an all time South African favourite. It's pronounced cook-sister and it's pretty much a braided doughnut that's socked in syrup, usually they are a bit longer in length but they come in these bite sized versions too. I guarantee that despite their sweetness, one just isn't enough.;D If you wish to try your hand at making koeksisters, here's the South African MasterChef recipe.

Nostalgic Treat - Zoo Biscuits

I've been back in Cape Town for a few weeks now and I've been indulging in all my favorite South African foods. One of these nostalgic treats are called Zoo biscuits. I chose to paint the cookie with a springbok design on it because it's South Africa's national animal. At some point in the past the designs became unrecognizable but I'm glad to see that they have since improved and now include more animal designs. 

  

30 Days of Watercolour - Day 28

Day 28 - Melon Pan

Melon pan is a simple sweet bread bun with a thin crisp layer of cookie dough, topped off with a sprinkle of sugar. Melon pan is without a doubt my greatest weakness.
