butterflies and pink!

Wow, a Saturday where I finally was able to sleep in! And best of all I slept through the night without coughing a lung up. You see I have been fighting a lousy cold this week, plus it was a full moon which never helps my sleep habits. But, thankfully I finally got a good nights sleep and am ready to do lots of things today. The sun left and rain is on its way again-so I guess I will concentrate on in door activities!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Be sure to take a moment and visit some others for a touch of pink

Chocolate Hazelnut Scones-the Hazelnuts!

Scones Anyone? This week I had a craving for scones-so I got out my Barcomi Book and tried one her recipes.

Chocolate Hazelnut Scones were the ones! Unfortunately I did not have any Hazelnuts in the house, so I just omitted them from the recipe--still tasted good!

Since I am still fighting a lousy cold, I am not up to translating the recipe for you today-please feel free to email should you like the recipe-or you can find it in the book--"Cynthia Barcomi´s Backbuch"-a must for any collection

 

Have a wonderful weekend and if you get a chance  please stop by the other foodies among us!

A North Carolina Tablescape for Fall

Greetings Everyone! I have been super busy with cake orders lately, so a friend of mine sent me some pictures of her fall tablescape. I met Stephanie a few years ago when she lived in Berlin with her husband Kevin. They are now living in North Carolina. I just love her fall dishes. 

Be sure to stop by Between Naps on the Porch for more great tablescapes

Monday´s Work

Happy Monday everyone!!! Today I fixed up 24 cupcakes for a little girl´s birthday party at school. Magnolia´s Vanilla Cupcakes and Devils Food Cupcakes!!! You gotta love that 1M Tip from Wilton-it makes decorating oh so easy!

cupcakes and pink

Oh just back from my favorite store----TJ MAXX! Today I found a notebook with a beautiful cover--CUPCAKES! So, although my entry this week is not perfectly pink, it is an example of one of my favorite things--CupCakes.

This has been yet again one crazy week--lots of cakes, school meetings and just general madness...so I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with only my sons orchestra concert on the schedule!

It must be Tuesday

Good Morning Everyone!

I am afraid the Wii Fit will be lonely this morning-I have other things to do! This morning the American Womans Club is going to have  a  Meet and Greet at the home of Lisa Maurus. I am making a fruit platter and hopefully cinnabons. There was a slight glitch in the cinnabon making process---you see I usually program my bread machine the night before to do all the work for me--well I programmed it for noodle dough instead of just the dough cycle---SO, off to the "pooper" that went and i started from scratch. Here´s praying all will work out. If it does-pictures on Foodie Friday!

This afternoon I have some cake work to do(yea-it looks like I might be getting legal! Well, so far as that I can cook/bake in my clients home-that would be awesome. That would mean that I can finally advertise!

After what will hopefully be a nice day, I get to end it with a visit to the dentist. It seems she has found a tooth that needs a root canal-plus I still have that implant that needs a crown. From now until the end of November I am going to the dentist a total of 8 times! REALLY?

Viktoria Park Berlin-Kreuzberg

You will find the Viktoriapark in the heart of Kreuzberg a district of Berlin! In between all the shoppes and cafes you find this wonderful park with a waterfall. I have lived in Berlin now since 2001 and finally this past July I had the opportunity to go and enjoy this area of town. We enjoyed it soo much, that we have been back 3 times since!

Stop by the little red house for more wonderful entries for this Monday!
