2 beautiful days. One more year ticked off & so we have an 11 year old in the family. Time flies…

Hope you had a lovely weekend too! Enjoy the new week! x

The sun was shining high when he came into our world, so beautiful, so calm & strong… he brought the love… He’s my little teacher, my friend, joy. He’s my first-born. He’s with us! And I’m so grateful.

I was listening to Dead can dance album ‘Toward the Within’ for half a day while dancing around the kitchen….My favourite. Now even this music will have memories of his & my big day…

Gingerbread man on sticks recipe. Great little something to share your special day with friends. We brought these for classmates and they made people smile. Wrapped in paper bags they would be perfect for party bags.

Cake recipe. A successful modification: agave instead of sugar (used about 70ml, mixed with buttermilk). The filling is just ricotta cheese with lemon juice and agave. I wanted to try to colour the dough, using natural colourants : raspberries for pink, carrot juice + turmeric for yellow and spirulina for green. Next time I would swap beetroot juice for pink and would use saffron for a deeper yellow. And would bake the cake in a wider tin…

Celebrations continue.
