I worked in an ice cream shop for 5 years while I was studying and there were multiple occasions where staff members would accidentally leave the freezer door open overnight. We would open the shop in the morning to puddles of brightly coloured ice cream on the floor. All sticky and sickly sweet. We would also sell doughnuts and decorate them with mass amounts of coloured icing and sprinkles. The leftover toppings would fall onto a tray underneath. I would daydream about them dripping down over my head and into my mouth and so I painted this.
