The classic 99 ice cream

The classic 99

The British love to eat ice-cream at the seaside and the classic 99 has gone by that name since 1930 when Cadbury's launched a shorter version of its Flake bar and called it a 99 for the ice cream trade.

I decided to illustrate this classic treat by machine stitching the cone, flake and ice-cream. I finished the image by adding colourful beads to represent hundreds and thousands.

This cold sweet treat is perfect for a hot sunny day at the beach. There just one decision that has to be made -  to have it with strawberry sauce, sprinkles or both?!
