Description [EDIT: Credit for the Mima icon the cake design is based on goes to ]

Birthday gift for , and somewhat of a counterpunch to her [link] for me, from a few months back. =]

[There's a funny thing regarding this and talk of 'cheesecakes', but perhaps I'll leave that as an in-joke. For those curious, check out 's gallery for a Mima deviation submitted the same day. Suffice it to say that I was very unaware of the slang meaning of the term, and was horribly mislead and surprised subsequently ... ><]

It looks more like a cookie than a cake, doesn't it? Didn't rise very much, but Cirno is prety baka regards to everything, baking being no exception. The flavours are kiwifruit, banana, blueberry, and dark and white chocolate, heheh.

Could almost pass for a Christmas card, couldn't it? ^^" First time drawing snowfall, and hopefully not my last.

An early Merry Christmas / happy holidays to everyone. And to our dear Logos, thanks for everything over the past year. ~

I'd like that cake, please. :V
The tiny Koishi doll looks demonic but adorable at the same time.

*gets baking*

Creepy dolls ... I wonder if I could make this a theme or something. 8D I seem to have a weird affinity for them. It's only the third time I've drawn them (counting Mima Doll and the Mokou Kaguya poem), and Alice has really grown on me this year.

Oh my god, I'd love see you draw Alice with her creepy dolls. *__* It's something I've been thinking of drawing myself, too but I never got around to it.

Hmm, so a Touhou in white tuxedo, and Alice and her creepy dolls - two random ideas you like so far, I wonder if I can combine them somehow? ^^ Or would that be just plain weird, lol, I wonder ...

Incidentally, when is your birthday?

Maarika In reply to Zucreelo [2012-01-01 21:38:46 +0000 UTC]

LOL, that would be hilarious if you combined those things. xD I love cracky/surreal drawings and stuff that doesn't make sense as long as they're well done.

It's in summer. D: But I don't celebrate it.

I will try. =3

Ah ... =[ Personal choice, or the norm over there? Maybe you're like me - I'll be 21 this year and I just want to forget about all that get-trashed-party rubbish and have a quiet night. I'd still have cake though, and have the family over.

I guess I've just stopped caring about it. My birthday is when everyone's off town so I can't meet my friends even if I wanted to (most of them probably don't remember about it anyway lol). Aaaand, celebrating it on my own is not very exciting. But cake is great. :3 I just try not to make a huge deal out of it. And I don't really like getting presents from anyone, it makes me feel indebted... :/ IMO celebrating any holiday is great if you get a day off and get to eat cake and be with your friends/family. I eat cake when it's not even my birthday, so nothing special about it.

Because I really have no life.
I put it down to a string of motivation and inspiration lately. ='3

Dohoho.

Also, I'd kill for a Koishi doll like the one on Cirno's head. Or, at least, pay some money.

Oh god, a cake? I thought what she was holding was something else entirely from looking at the thumbnail. Something inedible. Hmmm, so you do birthday commissions? >.>

Zucreelo In reply to Witch-of-Endor [2011-12-14 20:22:51 +0000 UTC]

Knowing Cirno, it may as well could've been inedible, depending on how it turned out. >,>" Hoping not though ...

I don't generally do commissions or random requests. I will art-trade, and gift closer friends. I'm notoriously bad at dealing with stuff for others in a timely manner, and if I can't engage with a piece or who it's for emotionally enough to do it justice, I don't want to make people have to wait. =<

Touhous are made of stronger stuff.

Oh I see...

Oh by the way, I shared this again >.>

... ah, don't make that face. I'm allergic to cuteness. ='D *gives tissues*

Maybe I could surprise you sometime next year? I'd better know the kind of things you like by then, and I have too many things to keep me busy already.

And thank you for being good to me, leaving thoughtful comments and sharing my works and all. ~

Witch-of-Endor In reply to Zucreelo [2011-12-16 01:52:06 +0000 UTC]

Well, you already know I love Touhou... and stuff.

Not a problem, it's in my nature to say nice things to good people and leave my cruddy comments to great art. Cause it's fun.

Hmmm that sounds good... since my birthday is next year (Somewhere in early 2012) >.>

I hope the world doesn't end.

The Koishi on her ehead looks like she just noticed something scary that Cirno didnt see.

Zucreelo In reply to FortesGospel1984 [2011-12-14 19:58:44 +0000 UTC]

Maybe she tapped into Mima's subconscious, and saw all the things the ghost was daydreaming about doing with her Reimu later that day ... ? 8D

You'd think a Mima-shaped cake would be the savoury Asian fried type and taste like prawns heh ...

Cheers man!

Her eyes are so cute !
Very nice job with the cake's texture, he makes me hungry ^^
Cirno is always represented in a kawaii universe and a lot of colors but your version is eccentric and original... I love it !

Zucreelo In reply to Sandwichwithham [2011-12-14 19:50:10 +0000 UTC]

I should draw more Touhous with food then, would that make both of them all the more sweeter? >,> Half-joking there, heh. ~

My version of her will always be a little darker than the norm.(Same version as [link] ) As with most more-serious depictions I attempt. Glad you like her, thank you dearly. =]
