Hello Friends

Here’s my entry for today’s “Artstorm Contest #72 Day 1 - Easter Week - Theme : Easter Simnel Cake.”
I had never heard of an “Easter Simnel Cake” before, so this was something wonderful and interesting to learn about. The Simnel Cake is a rich fruitcake, covered with marzipan and also marzipan may be put in between layers. Eleven Marzipan balls are rolled by hand, and placed on top of the cake. This lovely fruitcake is eaten especially at Easter ( which to me means the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ) or during Lent. The Eleven marzipan balls adorning the top of the cake, represent the eleven apostles of Jesus Christ, without Judas who would be the twelve.
These cakes have been made, and eaten, since medieval times as both a delicious treat and a symbolic ritual. Place of origin was the United Kingdom. Thank you @deemarshall for providing the video which you posted along with this contest, to show how we can make one of these wonderful cakes ourselves. This drawing was all digitally drawn with my IPad Procreate App, using an airbrush tool, blessings ❣️
