Cheeky coffee at Boronia Tea Room

Cakes Glorious Cakes

May 1, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

What beautiful 3 tiered cake display stands arrived at our table for our Sketch your Cake High Tea. Here we are at Boronia House, gazing at the table which would be ours, and the colours of the old-fashioned style tea cups, each a different colour. Then the gerberas in small glass jars caught our eye. All side lit as the sun came in through the tall window with a perfect tree outside. Maybe it’s a painting we are about to […]

Sketch your Cake- and eat it too

February 27, 2013 by ErinHill Sketching

This was our first 2013 Sketch your Cake High Tea. When someone says ‘I think I’ve died and gone to heaven’, you know everything is close to perfect. This is Gunner’s Barracks’ an old stone building, once the Officer’s Mess, and now so elegantly set up for dining. With views to Sydney harbour you can’t keep your eyes off, until your High Tea is served. For us it’s much more about the ‘look’ to begin with as all this needs to […]

Christmas chocolate from Cafe Chocolat

Indulge Your Senses

December 19, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Well that’s what it demands I do. Cafe Chocolat it says ‘Indulge your senses’ right there on the box. So of course I already have. But before I popped another divine little creation into my waiting mouth – I stopped – I could see a sketch coming on, so announced to the waiting throng that no one could have another. Whew. Managed to arrange the shapes into a tree form and began to sketch furiously. Meantime ‘they’ are hovering over […]

Oct 30 '12. Irresistible cake sketches

October SketchyourCake & Eat it too

October 30, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

At last the day arrived for our October cake sketching High Tea. We had several new guests today, including Anne, who travelled from Melbourne especially, and her Mum Ida, from Albury. Two other lovely girls who’d been waiting awhile to attend also tried their hand at something new. Before long and after listening to how to see what was in front of them, each person began to sketch their 3 tiered cake stand. Once the first few lines are down […]

Mollymook Beach

Mollymook Getaway

October 17, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Sometimes it’s just wonderful to get out of town and get some sand between your toes. To watch some whales. Eat some great food. Talk your head off. Laugh at everything. Taste a little wine. Read in bed. Hear the birds. Unwind. Coffee – absolutely. Thanks Jacquie. We all did all of these things and loved it. ©ErinHill2012

Friday Class, Flowers Fruit still life

Friday Class July 20. Fruit, Flowers & Cafe Sketches

July 20, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

The first Friday class and a beautiful day. Not as chilly as yesterday so we could leave our jackets in the Studio. The still life was similar to Thursday’s class on one table, and all fruit on the other. This was Leonie’s first class and she bravely launched in and did a great first sketch in no time. Margaret was new to our regular classes having had private lessons with me before, so she also was happy to set a […]

How did I hold back!

A bite of Raspberry Creme Tartlet

June 18, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

Just a yummy little tiny morsel I purchased the other day, the whole idea being to sketch it. Before consuming it of course. I wasn’t planning to do it from memory but it was close. Art comes first! The fresh berry on top was a clue as to the rich flavour  explosion one was about to experience. If you’d like to sketch beautiful cake creations yourself, we have our next delicious ‘Cake Sketching’ High Tea at Bather’s Pavilion on Tuesday […]

Little treats

Little Treats on a Wet Day

June 10, 2012 by ErinHill Sketching

I’m doing some cake sketches at the moment. We were out walking the dog on a very sunny Saturday and I decided to drop into Adriano Zumbo’s Manly hideaway and choose a couple of exquisite little cakes so that I could take them home and sketch them. Adriano has an enormous following here in Sydney. The cakes and macarons he makes are indeed a work of art. Not only that though, they taste wonderful. Sometimes something that looks so beautiful […]
