Spitzbuben biscuits

There is nothing like baking some yummy treats on a Winter Saturday afternoon.

Autumnal harvest III

Pastry, blackberry jam and some icing sugar

Our first mini brioches

Success! These are our very first home baked brioches, and they are seriously yummy!

Far Breton with icing sugar and recipe postcard

...far breton with or without icing sugar? Uhm, decisions, decisions... We bought this recipe postcard while on holiday in gorgeous Brittany, lovely and yummy memories!

Far Breton

this is truly a delicious and simple cake to prepare, the original recipe is from Brittany.

Let's start with homemade meringues...

Nine cookies baked on a Saturday afternoon....

I wonder how long they will last...

Round and round it goes...

This project started off as a footstool cover, now, it looks like it will become a very nice and very big cushion!
I am off to the garden where I will carry on crocheting, today the sky is too turquoise to stay indoors!
Many thanks for stopping by, I hope you all are having a beautiful day!

Far Breton

Mum and I decided to bake a traditional cake from Brittany, the Far Breton. I think it is one of the easiest and fastest cakes to prepare and it is utterly delicious! I found the recipe at www.epicurious.com

Sugar and colours...

Freshly baked!

My take on cupcakes...

...that I will bring tomorrow to the Craft Rally event in Sheffield; we were asked to bake a cake for the tea break, alas I am a disaster on legs, especially when it comes to cooking and baking, and I had to start all over again! My plan B was to bake some cupcakes, they look pretty yummy and I have managed not to burn them, LOL!

I guess I need a new baking tray, this one looks pretty yuk!

While I was de-cluttering...

...I found this adorable cat, I will certainly keep it!

Colourful bling at the shopping mall

In the garden-the candy wrap series

While outside the snow was falling...

Mumsy and I baked this cake: we started adding raspberries to decorate the cake and then we decided it was more fun to eat the raspberries and have a cake with a "partly decorated" look!

Another experimental shot of necklaces at Accessorize, I love the ethereal and almost "dream-like" sense I get from looking at them.
