The weather is not the best right now. Sun, rain, sun, rain… and more rain ;) Luckily I just had a little vacation in Spain with lots of sun and nice temperatures. So to be honest – I’m fine with the weather here right now. If I look back at Spain at the moment with over 40°C in the shade it’s even better here than there :P Not even one of this popsicles would help with that kind of heat, so let’s be happy with the temperatures we have and enjoy some ice cream ;)
I’ve got another batch of cupcakes for you today. I haven’t made any for quite some time, now this is the second recipe within two weeks (the last ones were chocolate hi-hat cupcakes). Today I got some delicious vanilla cupcakes with a raspberry filling and a Swiss meringue buttercream topping. So good!
In Winter it is always a problem getting fresh fruit and berries. Many stores just don’t sell them and the ones that do are f***ing expensive. Excuse my French ;)) So what can you do to skip the high prices and stuff that has been traveling all around the globe to get into your shopping basket?
This cake is… a mess. Literally. An Eton Mess (Cake)! I made prettier cakes to be honest, but it is still a delicious cake… So grab the last fresh berries from the farmers market and bring back a bit of summer felling – you won’t regret it!
If you make cakes or cupcakes, it is important to be precise in what you are doing – the decoration is an essential part of the success of those bakes. Yes – sometimes “inner values” are just not enough – it is all about the looks!
Just kidding :P
Todays dessert does not care about things like that – it’s a big mess. And you know what…?! That is the best! Make an even bigger mess when eating it and let out some anger or stress ;)
The time has come (again) – the next round of “Bake together – Die Backüberraschung” – the special event with Andrea from “Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte” and moi :) This month Andrea decided to go for the topic “summer pie”. I am really excited what she made – here you can find a pie with loads of berries – basically all I could find on the farmers market :P
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 ;)
