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…
I tried to gather the best ideas for a popup stall to bring to my friend Dani’s baby shower party. Maybe they inspire you too. For a boy, I decided to put it into an all blue/taupe/grey decorating scheme. As the name is not ‚fixed‘ yet, I could only use sewed „baby boy“ letters. One-pieces are cute way to decorate the stall. The problem was that I could not find any biker- or rocker style baby rompers on the german market. Thats why I tried to enrich some basic onesie’s with a bow and a tie, as well as braces und scarfs as add on. Since Dani is eating at least for two, the mom-to-be deserves a menu that is doubly delicious. I just love the tiny little yellow caterpillar which is downloading crushed oreos. I also filled decorated bottles with a mixture of cranberry and apple juice and a delightful splash of bubbly ginger ale. Dani also loves cinnamon rolls as well as cheesecake, so I just combined the two recipes into one. Voila! The first cinnamon roll cheesecake was to be tested on that day.
Today is the day. German Sweet Paul magazine spring issue is out and 5 entire pages are dedicated to my book. I don´t have to mention again that I love it. I am also very happy for my mum, as they picked her cheesecake recipe as one of the cakes that are featured. So, what's in it for you if you buy the mag ? As promised you can win one of three crafty handmade super cute Sweet Paul bookmarks…
Our mailman Marcel always knows that spring is coming when the first flowers start appearing on our front porch. However, I am not fully convinced that winter is gone yet, but a little makeover of the porch can’t hurt.
I am so looking forward to next week. The German Edition of Sweet Paul Magazine does 5 full pages on my "Backen with Love" book. I am so happy, the specimen copy of the magazine was in the mail today. Sweet Paul is one of my absolute favorites and I never thought that I could be in it some day. As a "Thank You", I have designed three cute crafty bookmarks that you can actually win in a competition that…
Yes, I know, VD is over (I am not even mentioning the name), but that should not stop you from having a sweet and hearty breakfast together with milk like those peanut butter cookies. Whilst I am at it, I also have some leftover table decorations pictures from the day I am no longer mentioning. Moving on to spring then, not such a bad idea anyway.
I was in Erkrath yesterday for a "Backen mit Love " book signing event. I basically moved in there for the afternoon with all my Valentine`s Day stuff. We turned the event into a scrapbooking workshop and it was a blast. Thanks to the lovely people from Buchhandlung Weber who invited me and have such lovely furniture. It was very easy to decorate everything nice. Thanks also, to everyone who came chatted, scrapbooked or bought the book. I still can´t…
