Cake two

Sicilian Mountain

Very good for breakfast or tea time.
If you had to paint a picture of Sicily after eating this cake I'm sure you'd draw orange tree gardens and sheep grazing in rather rocky fields. 
Ricotta cheese and marmelade are the hidden treasures of this cake

Song: Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Picture yourself in a Sicilian orange grove with tangerine trees and marmelade skies

Cake one

Rocky Flowers

This week’s cake is not a cake but cookies

Cookies which look like big flowers, with a yellow heart and red petals.. Baking and flowers are a perfect match for this time of the year. It’s springtime and you can feel it in the air.

Song: Mother Nature’s Son  
Forget everything and get lost in endless fields of flowers

Baking to the sound of music, a Beatles song for each cake

I was undecided what language to write my blog, whether Italian, my mother tongue or English, the language of my soul or simply the key to a boundary free community and still I am! 

But since Italian is the language of my reality and English is the one of my dreams, I’ll use English as baking is part of my happy fancy world.

No recipe today but just a song to start with. A song which has been my life’s leitmotiv and which I dedicate to my family and all the ones I’ve really loved. 
A touching song which takes you to your dream world, an inspiring theme tune for the day:

Here there and everywhere - The Beatles

One cake a week is not enough to show I care .... for baking

When baking and music meet 

'With a little help from my'... children

Song: With a little help from my friends
