Guess what – I got another idea for a Mother’s Day gift you could make to surprise your mom on Sunday. Something floral but no flowers (they look much better in the garden anyway). Today I got some delicious sugar cookies with floral royal icing decorations. The perfect Mother’s Day DIY project that will put a smile on your mothers face for sure ;)
It’s time for something non-sweet. After all the cakes and sweet treats around Mother’s Day, I had to switch things up a bit. Not happening very often around here, I have to admit ;) Since it’s “Cinco de Mayo” I thought something “Mexican-inspired” could be nice today – so how about some super delicious Cruchwraps Supreme!? Anyone?
Mother’s Day is happening next Sunday – time to think about whether to get some flowers or to invest some time to make mom something delicious. As you can probably imagine, I ALWAYS go for the second option…. who would have thought ;) So, if you want to rattle the mixing bowls as well and bake your mom a delicious cake, here’s a little cake I think she (and you) will love: a Japanese Strawberry Shortcake Cake with Baileys Strawberries & Cream. So many good things coming together in one little (giant) cake ;)
Mother’s Day is coming up soon – I hope you all out there have the opportunity to see your mothers this year. Times are tough right now. In case you are able to see your family and mom on Mother’s Day, I recommend baking something for your mom instead of buying flowers. This is a baking blog here – of course – I will always recommend baking something like cakes or cupcakes ;P Flowers are much nicer to look at in the garden anyway instead of being cut off on a table… So who can I offer the first slice of this Raspberry Ombre Cheesecake Charlotte? ;)
There is not much to celebrate right now, but why not make something colorful to lighten up the mood a bit? I think we could all need some joy in our lives these days ;) So… how about some sweet and colorful cookies? I got some large and sugary cookies with crispy m&m’s for you today. Have you tried this version of m&m’s? There are no peanuts hidden inside, instead, you got that crunchy chocolaty filling which, unfortunately, tastes really delicious ;P
Last week I showed you some of my favorite rhubarb recipes in my “Best of Rhubarb Recipes” article. Just in case you want more, I got a delicious and really simple new rhubarb recipe for your: Rhubarb Shortbread Streusel Bars. Delicious rhubarb filling meets crunchy streusel – one of the best combinations out there. You should really give it a try!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
