My friend Dani and I made a little movie of us baking the carrot cake from my book. It´s real easy, I only recommend to secure the Icing from kids. Otherwise It might not make it onto the cake. Here´s a link to the German post on www.backenmitlove.de
Yes, I know, It´s still kind of warm, but we have to face the fact that it be colder soon. So I removed the summer decoration (bye bye) from our front porch and started to put up things that welcome a long and golden fall. However, one thing is already settled for later. Santa did make a reservation for the armed chair.
For 9 Months my hubby and I were working on this book project (we started Jan 1st 2013, no it was not a new year´s resolution). It has always been sort of something, where we did not know if it was really real. Since yesterday, the book appears on German Amazon for pre-order (release date Nov 18th in time for XMas).

After 1 week holiday around England's coast staying at Lyme Regis, the Duesseldorf airport welcomes us with heavy rain! This is really what makes you feel bad. And since I had my most beloved Cream Tea every day, I felt that I can't do any baking today. Too many calories to count for...that's why it was clear that I need to start a craft project. With the help of my friendly hot glue gun and an old sweater out of…
The end of the school holidays have snuck on me yet again. I cannot help myself but thinking, that this is maybe also the end of the summer?! No more barefeet walking in flipflops, no more dresses wearing without tights below? To hold back the transition into fall a little bit, I planned a backyard barbecue with some summer decorations, for an unforgettable summer party.
