2020 - what a year! No need to recap all the sordid details, we’re all on the same page with that. What 2020 did bear witness to was so many creatives getting even more creative in an attempt to salvage their businesses, lift lockdown spirits, bring humour and kindness to a bad situation and even curb boredom. Here we’re showcasing 2020 via edible image creations made by some of our very talented customers.
