Love is in the air!

Summer: the season, in which beat the heart faster!

Surprise your loved one with a sweet colorful cake. Not only on the outside but also from inside can catch a cake your attention. With a cream pie of your choice you can vary your cake flavor. To break the monotony of the cake you can easily incorporate a little color. For example, it is easy to color the homemade pie floors. I have chosen red tones to incorporate a little romance for the summer evenings.

Colored Cake





Pastel colors make the interior of the cake look lovely. Because it is very hot in summer the cake must be made ​​quickly. It is advisable that the cream pie is always kept refrigerated and keep the cake in the fridge. A small heart-shaped cake is a fitting surprise for each partner. Covered with white fondant, you can easily decorate the little thingsof  the cake with red or pink color.

Sweet Cupcakes

We all love Cupcakes! Why? Because these are small sweets that vary in taste, color and decoration. 
I had a special girly day with my friends... In a beautiful sunny day we decided to grill and of course
could not miss the sweets. We ultimately decided on cupcakes in each flavor: chocolaty, nutty, vanilla, fruity nothing was missed! 




Thus we have a beautiful girl and fairytale theme created for our grill-day, which is easy to use for birthday parties for girls and for boys also comparatively (only cars instead princesses are preferably chosen;)). Let your imagination run wild!
