Jessie Oleson is a writer, illustrator, baker, and also someone who’s dealt with eating disorders.  We love her blog Cakespy.com, but especially the section of her site “Unicorn Love” which delves directly into this latter issue.

FYI Jessie donates a portion of all profits from her online store to eating disorder awareness and treatment.
