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
Last Sunday, we ended the outside teatime season with a bang. I did some seasonal baking and an irresistible autumn decoration. One of our favorite cakes was the choc & caramel cheesecake with chocolate sauce on top! I also offered a warming autumn fruit crumbler with an almond cookie topping, yummieh!, and a delicious ginger cake with fudgy frosting - it really was the perfect september outside retreat! Luckily I had a visit from my dear friend Rosey Sugar from…
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.

A traditional English Victoria Sponge is one of my favorite cake recipes. Especially when it´s summer and I am able to add fresh berries. Today I am expecting a couple of friends over, so I made 2 versions. One for eat in and one to go. Yummy.

I ordered a kids swing from the internet, painted the seat turquoise and replaced the plastic cord with a beautiful (but not so safe) hemp rope. Since I can not swing with it anyway, I added some roses and a cheesecake. But the cheesecake won´t last long on it, I promise.
A friend is having a larger family get together today and asked me for ideas on how to offer little sweet things 'buffet style'. The main focus was: kids should love it. I started by educated guessing that kids like ice cream and colours. Since I am always fascinated by cute things that are a little vintage looking, I came up with this Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour. As you know, for me, the idea is not enough. When…
As a birthday present I got Bunny shaped Cookie cutters and I wanted to create something special with them. My only problem: Today being the last day of the Easter. So I had to hurry, bake the cookies and apply the fondant decoration. Time pressure and my impatience when it comes to making tiny things is usually not a good combination. But today, maybe because of the sun, it worked extraordinarily well. As a reward, because Easter is almost over,…
