Lemon Flowers

The past week has been extremely trying and eventful for all the wrong reasons, however I am trying to stay positive.

You know the old saying of life giving you lemons and making lemonade... instead I made cute 'tarte au citron' cakes that look like flowers.

Things can only get better from here (hopefully!).

  5. Thanks everyone. You ladies are so sweet - I think I need to get out and find some inspiration and just appreciate the little things, especially since I can't be home right now.

  6. Things can only get better, at least that's what I keep telling myself.
    Let's do lunch and we can moan about life to one another!

  7. They had to make you feel better, the cakes are so beautiful :)
    Maybe you should become a baker- open up a specialty shop selling fancy, delicious little concoctions. It'd be a hit!!

    I'm sorry to hear that things are such poo right now, they'll improve. You'll find something fabulous- I promise! There's always Italy :)
    Ooh, for your future, when things look more constant, we know someone who rents out his house on Elba for a week at a time, with a super rate! Interesting thought :)
    Hugs and Pretzels!!

    So good to see you - as always.

    Allison...
    I don't think my cakes are dry enough to be a hit in Germany, but I do love baking!

    I know you're right that things will improve - and Italy is most definitely on my radar, especially after all of your beautiful photos. I'm really dying to get back to Venice too. You're always so upbeat - Thanks!
