Did you know those jelly ones with the hundredds and thousands are called horse cakes? Lively painting. I like the contrast between the 2D sweets and the 3D liquorice round ones

Hi Diana, No I didn't know they were called horse cakes...yes, they were my favourites :) Thank you for the info and the comment, much appreciated :) ~ Anni

Acrylic on canvas ~ SOLD As a child I have fond memories of eating Jelly Babies when I lived in England. I later found out that they were originally known as Peace Babies. Jelly Babies were launched 75 Years ago by Bassett’s – one of Britain’s oldest sweets manufacturers – to celebrate the end of the first world war. Peace Babies were popular between the wars, but production ceased in the Second World War because of a shortage of raw materials. They came back in 1953, renamed Jelly Babies. I thought I’ll paint some of the famous Bertie Basset’s liquorice allsorts too,,,I use to love the black jelly ones with thousands and thousands on them. Oh the memories of childhood :) ~ Anni
