Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate link / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I wanted to share another recipe on the blog with you today. Since Mother´s Day is on Sunday and you don´t have enough time left to get a gift why not make a beautiful and tasty cake by yourself ?!
It is too hard and won´t taste good you think ? Don´t be too hard on yourself. With a little patience and dedication it will work.

These are two super quick and easy recipes for the dough and the frosting I am posting today. 


Ingredients for the dough:
– 5 eggs
– 100 gr. sugar
– 250 gr. butter
– 100 gr. confectioners sugar sifted
– pinch of salt
– lemon zest 
– 100 gr. flour
– 100 gr. corn starch
– 1 tblsp. baking soda

Ingredients frosting:

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

Decor:
– marzipan roses
– sugar flowers 

Direction for the batter:
– mix the sugar, eggs, butter, confectioners sugar and lemon zest until creamy 
– add the flour, baking soda, corn starch and salt
– let it mix the batter for about 3 minutes

– take two small baking pans and spread the butter evenly
– bake for 45 minutes on 165° degrees

Directions for the frosting:
– melt the chocolate until creamy
– put the butter out of the fridge so it gets soft
– when chocolate isn´t hot anymore but still creamy and butter is soft put all the ingredients for the frosting together and mix for about 3 minutes
– put the frosting into the freezer for about 5 minutes
– add frosting onto your cake, layer by layer 

and garnish how you like.

Happy baking guys. If there are any questions left feel free to ask.

Mother´s Day gift ideas – beauty sets….

Keine Kommentare

(these are the gift sets for both of our mom´s)

….

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links)
whether you are celebrating Mother´s Day on the 13th of May (here in Germany and the US) or you already celebrated in th UK on the 31st of March there is one significant fact – we are all searching for a nice and thoughtful gift to give to our mothers on their special day. 

I have to admit we had a rough start this year cause we had so different opinions in table decor and how my wedding dress should look like that it was hard to talk about anything else without having the debates we had earlier on my mind but I think we are in a good state now.

We didn´t share much of opinion on most of the things but we always loved beauty products so this is something we are still into. 
That is why I am still gifting little beauty gift sets to special ocassions to my mom. I know that I can´t go wrong with these.
 I have gotten the British Rose set from the Body Shop and she loved it a lot. I stocked up on handlotion and also ordered one for her.

I also got three other scent gift sets from Yves Rocher.


The Comme une Evidence set. The fragrance is very flowery and a little sweet but so so good. The set contains a full size perfume, a deodorant and a shower gel. It doesn´t have to be an expensive brand all the time to smell good and be something special.


Another set I ordered is the Au Martin au Jardin Rose Fraiche set and this is the best I have gotten in a long time. I honestly thought it would be a normal rose scent but guys its peonies!!!! I just could sit in it. Smells awesome. Gonna give this to my mom and also ordered the Eau de Toilette for myself.


The third set I got from Yves Rocher is the So Elixier Bois Sensuel set and I really like it but it is a little heavy for me. A orentiel smell with patchouli, orange and zedar wood. I like it but I could not smell it the whole day without getting a headache. We are probably going to give this to Florian´s mom since she is really into these adorable scents.


All of the sets are available online as in stores. You can easily get them in time for Mother´s day.


What do you like most on gift sets ? Do you enjoy buying them.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Summer combo – basket bag and espandrilles…

Hi guys, 

 (post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links)

I am sharing another super cute Spring look on my blog today. I have worn this last week – twice to be honest cause everything was so comfortable.

Earlier I really wasn´t a fan of light blue denim cause I always thought a darker wash would be much more flattering but by trying on different washings I found out this isn´t true at all. All you need is a good fit.

I got this light blue pair of denim from H&M. I really love H&M and you can tell by how many looks I am combining H&M fashion pieces but I can´t help it. It is just my brand.

The cute jacket also is H&M. It has an a-line shape and super cute bows on the pockets on each side. I added this color cause it matches perfectly with the white and pops of red. 
The top I am wearing is a flamenco stlye blouse from bonprix which I am really loving. I am all about statement sleeves these days as long as it doesn´t get to hot for wearing them.

The basket bag is from this years bag collection from Zara and I have never owned a shape like this. It is totally adorable and so so cute. I am really glad it was still online available by the time I saw it cause going to the store itself is pure chaos and you never get anything you want cause you just can´t find it. 

For some pop of color I added a pair of red espandrilles. In my opinion espandrilles pair perfectly with a basket bag and create such a summer flair. 

Do you have a summer combo you love?

Wardrobe staple – the white shirt….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
and what about talking basics today. There are so many fashon pieces which are called staples and I agree with the most of them and by far my most important staple piece is a white shirt. I had to notice this the hard way.

Throughout the years I really enjoyed wearing white (I did not wear a lot of white when I was younger cause it was all about colors for me) and so I love to pair mostly white shirts or tops with my summer skirt/pants. The problem is/or was I just hadn´t got a lot of them. When I would sum up the ones that where really wearable I might have two – the other ones where too short, too small or just not really white anymore. 

So what now ? Answer: I browsed the internet and found an incredible variety on white shirts/t-shirts/tanks/tops. This took hours although I had a look at the big retailer´s sites where all the brands are available. 

All I want to say with this post is that for building a versatile and fashionable wardrobe you might have to get the basics first and build up around them. And who wouldn´t need a white shirt throughout the year ?!
What are your thoughts on basics? I would love to hear.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
