Beautiful cake!
I’m grasping for any sign of spring. It’s what keeps me going through the winter months.

Me too. This winter has been one of the greyest here in Cornwall. Just longing for Spring and light and even some sunshine. 🙂

Isn’t it wonderful that blog photos can be enlarged?! I can clearly see those colors you mentioned on the fly when I enlarge the photo.

I just ate a graham cracker. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
It was missing something. Maybe a fly?
