absolutely nothing.How does it feel like to sit right beside the window at the average cafe I pass by every single day. Just sit, have my regular cafe latte with the most ordinary banana bread, watch the busiest people hurrying to grab a hold of their day[...] |
Dark Fruit Cake, a little more impact.This fruitcake left the sweetest memories, I served them for the first time during Christmas. Mum request this for her birthday, she wanted nothing but the fruitcake I made last Christmas . Cakes I bake, can never be overly sweet which is not[...] |
Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Cake spells another birthday!Looking out from the window, seeing how people gave their best to their daughters and sons. How envious I was. The made believe they would do anything for. Hiding their true self to show their best examples. Building up walls, blocking the[...] |
