Spring blossoms!

I know this is supposed to be a baking blog, but I just can't stop posting these pretty blossom pictures. So from now on this is a baking/flower/gardening blog! But nature, plants and flowers are a big inspiration for me, so why not post some inspirational photos every now and again! I want to start practicing more fondant work anyway, and sculpting flowers will be a big side of it, so it is good to get to know how different flowers look like.


I took all these pictures in England during the spring time. The below ones are from King's Wood in Kent. The whole forest gets covered with bluebells, it really is a fantastic site to see.


My intention was to bake today, but the weather was so amazing I had to stay all day out in the garden!
Now I also have my own strawberry plants growing, and lots of herbs. Pictures will come later!


Next week I will have lots of baking to do. I'm really happy people have started to ask me to make birthday cakes for them and their families, since I have only started to bake 'non hobby' few months ago. I have had lots of very positive comments! But I haven't always had the chance to take pictures, so no blog material have been produced for weeks! 


And for the last, picture of a summery wreath, or 'krans' they call it here in Holland. I made it today from some greenery I picked today, and I took some lavender from our garden. It's easy to make if you get a 'florists ring' that you make wet, and just stick the stems in, so the plants get water.


So I hope you enjoyed these pictures instead!
I will be back with cakes!
