Farewell to Summer ?

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. Besides the cheese-filled burgers and homemade sesame buns, I made the all-time favorite carrot cake.…

Victoria Sponge

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.

Cheesecake on a Porch Swing

Finally I got a porch swing, well, a small one, and you can´t even sit on it but it´s cute and that´s what counts. 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.

Easter Bunny Cookies

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,…

Best B’day Ever

Long planned and well prepared was today my birthday party. I have seen this funny pop-up cake stall on the internet and was eager to build one of my own. Wood and colours I got from the DIY store in the Netherlands and I am proud to be able to show it today. Fully loaded with cakes and stuff. I finished the cakes yesterday and the guests had to decide between caramel brownies, cherry-raspberry-coconut slices or leopard print cake or…
