millefleurs

Ok, so has this silently become a food blog here? I don't really know. But I must say, I really love how this cake turned out. I used this recipe in a cake form, made some buttercream frosting and spread it all over the cake and finally covered it in a thin layer of white fondant. Then I cut out the pink blossoms from pink fondant to decorate the cake (and hide the not-so-pretty bottom part of the cake).

By the way: sorry for the bad pictures. I was in a rush... all those blossoms took longer than I expected...

sweet moments

I really love chai tea latte. Last year I made homemade chai syrup for the first time, and last week it was time to make some again. Here's my recipe. I read over at nicest things and here that you could also add some pepper. Maybe I'll try that next time.

Once you have your syrup, just take a cup of steamed milk and add about 2-3 teaspoons of syrup.

pumpkin bread

Every year in the fall I can't wait to get home to the north of Germany, where they sell pumpkin bread. This year I couldn't bring home enough of it, so I decided to make my own.

This was the first bread I ever made and, apart from burning it a little, I was pretty pleased.

In case you wanna give pumpkin bread a try, I put down the recipe for you. (Let me know if you like it!)

The recipe is for 2 big or 1 giant loaf of bread, so if you want a smaller portion, divide the ingredients by half.

This bread is a sweet bread that tastes best fresh out of the oven, still a little warm, with just some butter. Later I love it for breakfast with either chocolate sprinkles or cheese.
