Food Friday – carrot cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting for Easter….

Ein Kommentar

….

Hi guys and happy Friday,
the Easter weekend is finally here and I couldn´t be more excited. Having the whole family over tomorrow. Visiting the other part of the family on Sunday. Maybe we get some rest on Monday. 
Hope the weather is getting a little better (currently rain and 8°) to hide some eggs outside.
Since everyone in our family is loving my carott cake (the only exception are my parents) I made kind of an Easter tradition out of it. Not sure if I already wrote about it but it was the first cake I have made Florian when we started dating and he loved it ever since so this is our very own Easter tradition.

So put on your aprons, get your ingredients and let´s bake. 

Ingredients batter:
 – 4 eggs 
– 200 grams of grounded almonds
– 250 ml rape oil
– 1 tablespoon cinnamon 
– 2 tablespoons baking powder
– 250 grams flour
– 250 grams sugar
– 375 grams carrots grated


– mix eggs, sugar, oil and cinnamon together
– mix in the carrots and the almonds
– mix in the flour and the baking powder
– put the batter into a buttered round pan
– bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees

Ingredients frosting:
– 250 grams white chocolate melted and cooled
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
– 320 grams butter soft
– confectioners sugar sifted 
– 450 grams cream cheese in room temperature


– mix everthing together and let it cool again for about ten minutes until you put it onto your COLD cake
– spread evenly


Decor:
– 12 marzipan carotts

You could also decorate with colorful candy eggs but I choose these little marzipan carrots to top the cake with. 

Are you going to make something on your own for Easter ?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

the Easter fun continues today. After sharing the perfect dress for brunch here and our table scape in the 2018 color of the year here I am back for a cute DIY for joyful guests.

After setting up the tables I was thinking about what about a little something for everyone who is guest at our annual brunch ? Why not right.What is my first source for finding some inspo – right Pinterest. 

Guys you have to get on there if you are searching some ideas for Easter whether it is about decoration, Easter baskets or brunch ideas.

I didn´t found the exact idea on Pinterest, in fact it was a recipe for an Easter treat which looked identical so I came to my idea.

I got these little baskets at Nanu Nana. They where 95 cents each. Filled them up with grass or hay and put green Jelly Beans on top of it to rebuild the grass in tasty treats. 

The next step was to add chocolate in form of Easter bunnies. There wouldn´t be Easter without chocolate. I love Lindt chocolate. It is a bit on the pricey side but I think it is absolutely worth every penny.

And voila. They are super cute and also tasty and to much so you couldn´t eat them after brunch or just keep them during the Easter time.
Do you like them? Did you make any treats for your brunch guests or just made baskets for the little ones?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
Be sure to check back for my favorite cake recipe tomorrow.

White peplum button down – pops of red and tulips….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
Sping is finally here (although there is some rain and from time to time cold winds and maybe a gray sky but you gotta take what you can get depending on the wheather) and I am all about crisp whites, pops of colors, flowers, bright lips and so much more….

And although I really love pink it is impossible to get away to far from red. Guess you are always coming back to the things you really adore.

The peplum button down is the cutest I have seen in a while and it is even cuter wearing it. The back is longer than the front which I appreciate a lot. The color is a crisp white which is going to match with so many pieces in my wardrobe. The designer is called Jacqueline de Yong and it is known for trendy and affordable pieces. Discovered this back a few months as I was ordering a pink pullover. You can view it here.

I combined it with a pair of high-waisted denim. To add some color to the look I put on my neckerchief I got from Bijou Brigitte (polka dots are still going strong over here) and a pair of block heels in the same color. This really was the cutest and most springish combintion I have worn in a while. To round up the whole look I took this woven raffia bag I got from Mango last year with me. The flowers where added as a statement to make the whole look even more springier.
Are you in full Spring mode now ? And does the weather allow it where you life ?
 Be sure to check back tomorrow for more fun Easter ideas. Don´t know what to give to your brunch guests yet ? I have a cute DIY idea.
Thanks for stopping back. Take care. See you.

The perfect green dress for Easter….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since we are in the week before Easter there is lots of stuff to do. Make grocery lists, think about a menu, set up a table scape, get some cute little gifts and also find a dress or an outfit for the holiday.

I am sharing this pretty green dress I got from H&M about two weeks ago on my blog today cause it screams Spring. It is one of hte prettiest dresses I own and has such a gorgeous print. 
The flower on the green background are the prettiest.The lenght is perfect. The neckline is so playful and I also love the puffy sleeves. This would be so great for church, for brunch or also for dinner.

I paired the dress with a pair of navy suede bow heels and a small bowling bag. Also since there are beautiful pink flowers in the print I put on one of my favorite lip stains. MAC – stay matte with me, a bright pink shade (my absolute favorite lip color at the moment).

Are you guys still planning or are you already in prepping mode? I already set up the table scape. Just have to extend it a little I think and I also already have the Easter baskets ready. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
