Carrot cake 2

Hi Dears,

I brought today another carrot cake recipe, I recently baked it for one of my colleague's farewell party. It's a little bit different from my first one. 

(If you wish to compare, click here.) 

You have might realized that I stopped posting recipes here this year, the reason is that I am quite busy to try out and make experiments with new recipes. I do bake regularly, but I tend to bake my favorite recipes over and over with only slight changes. 

The reason of my busyness, is that I have started another school, this time I study graphic design, where I can develop my artistic skills. :)

Also, I have found a new hobby, while I am taking care of a lovely dwarf hamster. I started making  short videos of him, with gentle music in the background. The aim is to create something cute, funny, calming and safe for children to watch.

Now let's get back to the cake...

Testing post - Knife challenge

Hi Dears, 

I got a super exciting request to test and review honestly a hand-made professional knife.

 I got the chance to use this knife for some weeks to be able to provide my opinion on it. 

I accepted, as I was curious, and it didn't need too much effort on my side, as I cook every weekend, anyway. I tried as many things to cut as I could in the past three weeks.

(It is not a sponsored post, I highlight it again, these will be my honest lines. :) ) 

Wedding season started

Hi Dears, 

Summer just started, that means we can go on our holidays soon, but also that means that the WEDDING Season started, too. :)

There is a time in everybody's life when wedding means a lot to us, especially when we are having our own.

As I started to plan our own wedding, I realised that I know too little about weddings. I had an idea in my had, how I imagined my perfect wedding, me and my fiancé happily say yes to each other somewhere in the nature. 

But organising it to be perfect is a much more difficult job.

So, I decided to study wedding planning. :) Soon I will have my degree on it, who knows, besides mine, I will be able to plan other's special big day, too. :D

Ours will be next year if everything goes well, but this year one of my best friends had her wedding. 

It was her idea, to make bon-bons for the guests as a thank you gift. Of course I helped her make them :)

+ The same week one of my high school teacher, who I really liked, asked me to bake a wedding cake for her daughter. I was so afraid of it, as it was my first time to bake such an important cake :) Would I succeed? Will they like it? But she trusted me, and the cake was only 20 pieces so I accepted the challenge, and baked it.

They asked a carrot cake with white icing on top, no marzipan or fondant, and to decorate the top with the icing itself, modestly, and to have a note Mazel tov.

I enjoyed baking and decorating it, as they allowed me to go on my taste, I didn't have to follow any other guidelines. 

Carrot Cake for Easter

Hi Dears, 

As Easter is coming I brought you a tasty Carrot cake with marzipan decorations (carrots and a little bunny)

Follow the recipe below, and bake it for your family! :D 

Carrot Cake muffins & Coffee muffins

Hey Guys! :)

So, as I promised before, I brought the next dessert idea to make for Easter.

Actually, right now I have two muffin-ideas, which You can easily make at the same time. :)

I think everybody likes sweet coffee flavored pastry with chocolate chips inside, so You can't make a mistake with these coffee-muffins. (There are chocolate little eggs on top). 

And which were even more popular, those were my Carrot cake muffins! I thought it would be the other way around, but I'm happy about it. 

Carrot is a great ingredient, and gives a beautiful  natural orange color! :)

 I wanted to make a picture of my Easter muffins with a bunny, but since I didn't find any, I used my super-cute hamster instead. 

I love her, I got it for graduation! ♥ (I'm really a child inside)
