It's always tough coming back from a vacation. You have to do dishes. You have to take out the trash. You have to go to work. You have to clean up your messes. Plus, there's the post-vacation blues to deal with.
Italia
As some of you may know, I spent the last four weeks in England and Italy with my boyfriend. We spent about two weeks in England visiting his family and the next two weeks traveling through Tuscany.
Honey Lavender Macarons
These were not originally what I planned to make. For weeks, I was dreaming up a combination of blueberry, honey, and lavender. I decided on macarons last week, but even then, there were still possibilities. Blueberry macarons with honey lavender filling? Honey macarons? I eventually decided on lavender macarons with honey blueberry buttercream.
They did not turn out well at all.
Maple Eclairs with Maple Sugar Glaze
I love my cat. I love him to pieces. I talk to him, probably more than I should. If he sneezes, I say bless you. I tell him to move his furry butt when he starts sniffing the desserts I'm trying to photograph. It's just my little kitty Ajax and I in my apartment and he's more like a (really adorable and super needy) roommate than just a pet.
But today, I did not love my cat.
Lemon Cake with Honey Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
This is my very first cake. I'm sure those of you who are cake masters can tell this is my very first cake based on the uneven layers and shoddy frosting job, but I am proud of it nonetheless. You'd think with my very first cake, I'd go for something a bit more basic. Nope.
