THE ART OF TODAY
Hello, my name is Zoey. I am a baker, painter, small-business owner, writer, and more. I have created this blog to have a new outlet for journaling. I will take you through my journeys in the kitchen all the way to my journeys in the studio. One of my interests includes writing. That being said, a blog will encourage me to write more often as well as about the passions I enjoy. As a baker, I sell my goods at the local farmers market in Saugatuck, Michigan. I am called, "Cake Chick." I specialize in using local, organic ingredients to create something special for the consumer. At the market, my main item is Peanut Butter. I put a special twist on it by layering it with Carmel or Cocoa or the Berries in season. Cake Chick also does custom order cakes. Everything made in our kitchen is made from scratch with local ingredients as fresh as we can get them. The second Concord Grapes hit the Holland Farmers Market, they turn to jam in Cake Chick's hands. When strawberries come out, the nutmeg spiced biscuit is already out of the oven waiting to be topped with the cream of the crop and some lovely whipped cream. As an artist, my main hours are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. I love to transcend what I do in the kitchen into the studio. Many of my paintings are of my cakes. I also focus on drawing in Saugatuck; the nature in this town is beyond fascinating. I would have to be a fool to pass up the offer to draw my surroundings. Discovering the beauty through oil pastels and charcoal is beyond living the dream. By creating art, I hope to share the beauty I find with others.
On this blog, I will explore this beauty through mediums like acrylic paint & pure cane sugar and tools such as a paint brush, spatula, camera, and more. The art of today will be explored not just through the kitchen and studio, but through the writing. Come along with me to see my newest endeavors.
