Happy Blueberry Picking Day to all of you! Yes… something like that really exists ;) So let’s celebrate this special day In honor of all people that work in the blueberry picking industry and, of course, to honor these little blue fellas! I made a delicious Charlotte with Strawberries and Blueberries (cause you should never party alone)! ;))
We are right in the middle of the rhubarb season! If you walk down the rows at the farmers market you basically get those red-green stalks thrown into your face :P Well… almost. So why not collect all of that rhubarb and make something delicious? A rhubarb cake for example? I might have a nice recipe for you in case you wanna do that :P
Is there something you like so much you can’t say “no” even though you know it is not the best for you? Since I am trying to eat less (to almost none) sugar I reduced eating sweet stuff a lot. No more sweet baked goods from the coffee shop, no more chocolate after dinner or gummy bears when too lazy to make a proper meal ;P Most of the time it’s absolutely no problem to skip the sweet stuff. Sometimes I might get a bit emotional when standing in front of a bakery with a lot of nice sweet bakes on display – but as soon as I turn around and everything is out of sight, I am fine again… except there is some good-looking cheesecake. That always gets me… like this Strawberry Cheesecake for example ;)
It is time to celebrate! Our little monthly blog event “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” just got three years old! Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I are celebrating this little milestone with birthday/celebration cakes on our blogs – and you can celebrate with us! Well… not physically, but virtually ;)
Easter is over – which means we can eat and drink again whatever we want. Finally! No more holding back ;) That’s why I got a nice 2-in-1 cake for you today. It’s a dessert and a boozy drink at the same time (kind of): Gin Tonic Cake!
This cake might look not very fancy, but it is definitely worth making! It is so damn delicious! The flavors from the orange and almonds are so good together! This cake is gone in no time every time I make it ;) I wished that all loaf cakes were that good and delicious…
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 ;)
