"She knew the street food downtown was Instagram heaven, and her pastelcore kawaii blog was in dire need of fresh content. So $20 later she found herself posing for what she knew would rock the core of the foodieverse: the largest taiyaki she'd ever seen, filled to the brim with ice cream. Though she knew she wasn't going to eat it all, her followers would be none the wiser."

Day 1 of Tastytober - my October art challenge - is Taiyaki! Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped cake, usually filled with something tasty like red bean, custard, sometimes cheese! It can also be used as a cone for ice cream. She turned out super cute, though I'm still a bit torn on the green skin - it's growing on me, though!
