Carrot Cake Cheesecake with Vanilla Frosting

Let the yumm begin. One of my favorite doings is to turn already existing and proven recipes into something new. Well, sometimes it works and turns out to be great, but sometimes you just have to forget that you had the idea in the first place. But this time the result was brilliant, exciting, good looking and yummie! What was I up to ? I wondered if a combination from two of my favorite cake recipes would be working out?…

Season’s first outside cake buffet

Last weekend my hubby had invited some friends over. Luckily the weather was nice so that I was able to perform an official grand opening of the „outside cake buffet season“. I love this „season“, as I can finally test and use the new furniture that I bought during the cold winter months. First outside buffet of the year usually also puts my hubby’s endless questioning to an end. „Where are you planning to place all these new vintage armchairs ?“. I also tried two drink dispensers with tabs that I filled with ice, fruits, juice and water. They worked amazing and they will definitely be used all summer long.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Doughnuts

I always wanted to do a Doughnut tower. But how high can I get? Four, five or maybe even six depending on size.

The salty bretzels are not helping with stability but are a very interesting addition in taste to the sweet caramel. That's all that matters. Yum.

Cinnamon Rolls with warm Caramel Nut Sauce

Since I have recently become a true caramel lover, I tried a warm caramel nut sauce. So, I simply melted brown sugar, butter, heavy cream (all from the top of the calorie leaderboard) together with almonds. The taste was incredible. Compared to traditional cinnamon rolls the sauce is way thinner and is more 'absorbed' by the…

Peanutbutter Apple Cake with Caramel Drizzle

Sometimes on a Sunday, especially when the weather is bad, I just have to bake something. So this time I was experimenting with apples, peanutbutter and a dark caramel. As a basis for the cake, I used a standard Victoria Sponge recipe out of my book and added 10.000 cal of peanutbutter and a couple of apple slices. To also try something new with caramel, I made it dark. However, I had to be careful there as dark caramel is…

Leftovers from Easter

From a decoration point of view, Easter definitely went by too quickly. I still have some cute ‚unposted‘ pictures. So before the next decoration season comes along, here is everything form a very healthy Easter breakfast with fruit filled Granola shells and Easter buns to a little airwalker bunny enjoying to be in the background of a herb basket.

Birthday Cake Buffet

I love birthdays, especially my own. But it always comes and goes too fast. It´s already been almost 2 weeks. Luckily, I still have pictures of the little buffet to „post“ from it. So it feels more like it was a 2 week event.
