A quick stop at Sonya’s Garden.

More experimenting.

Nearly forgot about this.

The lovely carafunk, who patiently let me adhere flowers on double-sided tape unto her skin. Inspired by a Tim Walker shoot in Vogue Italia. More here.

Small floral tea cups and berries with cream

Crisp old book pages and brewed coffee steam

Almonds and hazelnuts as fine and sweet

As snowflake sugar falling on your feet

Smooth chocolate fudge and mint surprises

Cheesecakes glazed with blueberry goodness

These are a few of my favorite things

Why don’t you make our Macarons your Valentine fling? <3

Experimenting.

We also took a lot of photos, which I’ll probably post gradually. Meanwhile, here’s one of the lovely birthday girl, with lil’ ol’ me DOF-ing.

Today, carafunk and I celebrated her 24th on the 24th!
We drove up to our family rest house where we made lunch ourselves— chicken and basil pasta with berry wine, and salad with dried sugared flowers, milk cheese, apples, grapes and croutons. Later on in the afternoon we picnicked outside, with a couple good books and strawberries, my pretty Austrian tea and her homemade macarons and strawberry cake.

Ate at Casa Roces again today— I tried something new (Lenguado Meuniére á la Beurre Noisette), and this time carafunk and I managed some camwhoring in their lovely upstairs toilet and private rooms.

Molten Lava Chocolate Cake

A treat of fudgey chocolate cake covered in a velvety curtain of milk and bittersweet chocolate, and a warm caramel surprise in between.

Pink Chocolate Cupcakes

Moist, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cakes topped with a dollop of strawberry buttercream - summer’s sweetness. There’s always an excuse to have 365 days of summer, warm and sweet!

La Vie En Rose sweets is owned by my cousin/bestfriendintheuniverse, carafunk, and I can tell you without bias that these cupcakes are exactly what the description says and more— I had to restrain from gobbling all of them right away while I was shooting. So head on over there!

And again: strawberry cupcakes with white chocolate-buttercream and rose essence.

Yesterday was spent baking at carafunk’s kitchen. Or rather, she sampled a recipe for an upcoming bake sale while I served as taste-tester and critic, occasionally handling the electronic mixer and dancing around while she worked.
And here is the successful outcome: dainty, moist strawberry cupcakes with white chocolate-buttercream and rose essence.
