Why time for a cake

I think we all deserve a short getaway from our routine everyday, a few minutes away from work or/and domestic chores...

My blog is the answer: a good combination between love for cakes and the music of the Beatles.

Cake forty - two

Crispy Little Crowns

Does it ever happen to you you kind of forget o cake for long? There’s no actual reason why I make a cake or another one, it’s something irrational that makes you opt for one, you can call it inspiration if you like! In fact you cannot bake any cake any day: you must be in tune with the ingredients, shape and time you need to spend in the kitchen. One more thing I like is to try new recipes or simply add or change some ingredients like chocolate chips or fruit - I never alter the basic ones though. I find that shape is important too, it does make a difference, in fact, if you bake the cake in small baking cups. It all depends on the occasion of course, for breakfast I love smaller cakes, for example; I think you feel more inclined to eat a small one rather than a slice of a traditional round cake... I also like loaf cakes for breakfast, which is my favourite meal, I must say. It was a few days ago that I saw a packet of corn flakes in a supermarket and I had a flash: I hadn’t baked the corn flake cookies for too long, it was high time to make them again!  A good start of a day for a summer breakfast in my terrace.
