Monday Favorites!

I've been a bit MIA recently (oops!). No big story behind it, just trying to keep up with life. Next week is my 5 year anniversary with P so I'll probably bake something special. I'll try to post it if I get some decent photos in =D. Hope you're having a fabulous month!

    I am a huge fan of "Call me Cupcake" photos and Sharyn Cairns beautiful styling! And I just discover the blog Citrus & Candy (like 5 minutes ago via Pinterest…) I think I am gonna spend a lot of time reading/ drooling over this blog! And thanks to you for sharing such beautiful inspirations! :)

    Xialou: I went to taste.com.au (frequent here).

    I searched for the Honeycomb Milk Semifreddo with Raspberries recipe and couldn't find it.

    Would you happen to have it?

    Beautiful pictures as always.

      Charlie, I guess they used "parfait" instead of semifreddo. Here it is! http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24231/milk+honey+parfait+with+raspberries

      Oh no! I know you're kidding, but that's really not why I post these at all. Half these are from magazines/pro food photographers, also. There's just for inspiration. Though to be honest sometimes I just gape at them and think I'll never reach that level as well. But that's not something we can ever say if we don't try and learn and grow. Glad to hear from you -- hope you're well!
