Food is the easiest subject to colour and the hardest to colour convincingly. The trap is making everything the same saturation, so a plate of bread ends up the same weight as the tablecloth under it. These sheets are drawn with that in mind: crusts, glazes and cake layers are outlined as separate closed shapes so you can push one and leave the other pale.
The scenes run from a whole café front down to a single tiered cake stand, which is deliberate. A shopfront is an evening; a cake stand is twenty minutes while the kettle boils. Both are useful, and the collection is not much good if it only offers one length.
Bread and pastry follow one rule: leave the highlight as paper. Colour the shadow side of a loaf, the underside of a croissant, the seam of a bun — and stop. The white of the sheet does the crust better than any yellow pencil will.
The pack version adds the sheets that need a table to spread out on: the long market rows, the full bakery interiors, and a set of recipe-card borders you can print and write on.
