Artist Katie Daisy transforms a farmhouse into a whimsical woodland scene While some modern interior design trends lean toward the minimalist, one local artist is forging ahead with the complete opposite style in her new home.
Katie Daisy, this week s cover artist, is widely known for her beautiful, imaginative scenes of birds, flowers and nature in general. Daisy s illustrations can be found around Central Oregon (and far beyond) adorning cards, posters and even textiles and the Foxtail Bakeshop in Bend has an entire wall of Daisy s striking creations in mural form. With that, it should come as no surprise to anyone to know that when given the opportunity, Daisy turned her own home into a whimsical creation, filled with animals and botanical scenes.
For a family-sized holiday dessert, think outside the pie with a swiss roll perfect for a small holiday centerpiece. Composed of a simple sponge cake and a filling such as jam and whipped cream, it offers a light dessert after a heavy holiday dinner. The only tricky part: rolling the cake so it features the signature swirl. Foxtail Bakeshop A festively decorated buche de noel from Foxtail Bakeshop. No need for a special swiss or jelly roll pan. Just use a quarter baking sheet, or any mold with dimensions around 13 inches by 9 inches. Butter and line the pan with parchment paper and, according to Foxtail Bakeshop owner and pastry chef Nickol Hayden-Cady, pick a joconde sponge recipe for easy rolling.
