Frühlingsfenster

Ich weiß ja nicht wie bei Dir das Wetter diese Woche war, aber hier ein kurzes Rosa Haus Update: Montag morgen waren es 20 cm Neuschnee, also haben wir endlich! Schneefotos machen können, Mittwochs bei Kälte (aber sonnig) alle Weihnachtsschleifen am Haus abgebaut, Freitag bei 10 Grad die Osterdeko aufgebaut. Somit ist jetzt endlich alles auf Frühling getrimmt! Und jetzt kann ich Dir auch endlich das frisch bemalte Fenster zeigen, auch hier konnte ich ohne entsprechendes Wetter draußen kein Foto machen. Mit noch ein paar Wabenbällen und Paperfans obenrum, gefällt’s mir super gut, und ich will bei den anderen Fenstern auch noch weitermachen…schönen sonnigen Sonntag!

Strawberry Cheesecake

For last Sunday’s cake buffet (Pictures coming up this week, I promise), I wanted to do another Cheesecake variation. I love Cheesecake, so I tried one with Strawberries. Looking at it, it feels way more summer’ish than March. My only problem was that at first guests did not really dare to cut it with all those beautiful fruits on top.

The recipe is a variation of the New York Cheesecake that you can find in my German book „Backen mit Love“ (click on the pic to enlarge). For it´s beautiful colour, I just added 3 tablespoon of mashed strawberries to the filling and replaced the blueberry topping with sour cream and fresh strawberries. My original recipe below. If you are not so into German, you can find lot´s of New York Cheesecake recipe variations on the internet.

Birthday Drink

For my birthday, I wanted to create a special drink. Non alcoholic, I mean. So I tried this rhubarb juice with peaches and melon slices in it. Let´s skip the spring and directly start with the summer.

Spring is here

Now, it´s official, spring is here. For me it´s a good enough reason to redecorate the entire entrance area. And did you notice ? The blue door has found a home, however I am sure it will only be temporary. There is also a little bit of easter already foreshadowing.

The Blue Door Project

It all started with a friend of mine saying that he had a vintage blue door that I might like. Of course, bring it on. So, a couple of hours later the door was delivered. But what to do with it ? Is it going to be a table or stay a door ? I don´t know yet. I was only sure that it needed some additional „vintage“. So Ina helped me trying to cover it with roses for it´s new yet to be determined purpose. I promise, I´ll let you know the minute I know what it is. Due to the perfect weather, it was so much fun finally working outside again, so we took some more pictures of the ‚homeless‘ cat observing our activity (aka sleeping) and our house in the spring evening sun.
