Little Miss Cupcake (eleven year old Miss O) continues to bake nearly every day. So many tempting delights. I am a self-appointed taste tester of all batters/doughs -someone has to do it ;)
She mostly makes double batches of everything as they disappear so very quickly around our family of ten. Thankfully I am usually content to leave the cooked products alone. I did drink the cup of white tea (thanks Catherine) above but I didn't eat the red velvet cupcake.
Our winter continues to be wonderfully mild. Miss V's calendulas are flowering beautifully, reminding me of miniature sunflowers.

Such yummy food! Those scones! How lucky you are to have such an accommodating and accomplished 'baker'! Enjoy- even if it is only the delicious aromas!
ReplyDeleteWell...those scones were the best I've ever tasted and I ate one and a half, with golden syrup and cream...too good to resist!
ReplyDeleteLove that little creature peeping out on the last photo with his bright blue eye.
ReplyDeleteThe urge to create is in the genes, I believe!
ReplyDeleteYour photo's are scrumptious!

I don't think I would be able to resist such treats.
ReplyDeletePiękna zima, kiedy kwitną o tej porze roku śliczne kwiaty. Córka Was rozpieszcza pysznymi ciastkami. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter when the bloom at this time of year, beautiful flowers. Daughter pampers you with delicious cakes. Yours.
Dear O
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what recipe you recommend for red velvet cupcake?
It all likes very good. Especially the cake with the decorated cup is a watering one. If there is some damp coming out it is ready for an magazine ad. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOh my ~ the baked goods look so delicious and the flowers are lovely and happy looking.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with Miss Cupcake's love of baking. She is blessed having you as her encourager as well as mother.
Your photos are wonderful.
Love and hugs to you ~ FlowerLady
Yummy photos!! I would love some of those scones right now with lashings of jam and cream...oh and a cup of tea. 'Tis a lot chillier down here!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had a happy helper in the kitchen! She's quite the baker. xo
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, the cupcake looks so good... lucky you!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, lucky you being able to taste all those wonderful treats! They look so yummy.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers photographs are just beautiful.
Happy Sunday to you!
Yummy cooking. The scones look perfect for morning tea. Lovely flower photos again.
ReplyDeleteHi! The cake looks very delicious. Your macro flower photos are breathtaking beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAh, delicious indeed!! What a great young cook you do have!! And your macro flowers are so beautiful!! Great start for my day!!
ReplyDeleteThat cupcake looks delicious! How nice to have a little baker in the house! You must have strong willpower to resist those little goodies!
ReplyDeleteOhh, das sieht lecker aus und deine Makros wieder ganz wundervoll.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße von Mathilda ♥
I would be leaning over her waiting to be the taste tester...WOW, that looks awesome and perfect. She needs her own cafe' to where she can share her delights and then YOU can put your framed work on display for sale. OMG! those photos took my breath away. WOW!
ReplyDeleteThe colours and sharpness of the two first pictures is out of this world. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
What an accomplished Patissiere ... I could just reach into the photo and take a big bite of that gorgeous red-velvet cup-cake. 10/10 to Miss O.
ReplyDeleteWonderful family member who bakes:)
ReplyDeletePictures of the flowers are astononishing.
What a lovely mild winter you get there, flowers and everything. Winter here feels like the tundra to me especially when temperatures stay well below freezing all winter. Luckily we are having our wonderful summer right now! You are very blessed not just weather wise but with wonderful children too! Your blog always has such delicious looking treats! I can't believe you can stay away from them...I couldn't!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous post - I like the look of the cupcake holders, as well as the cake itself of course. Those last two flower photos of yours are typical of your beautiful style - which in turn makes them a delight to look at. Renee.
ReplyDeleteAwww..you remind me of my mom Karen. She was my tester taster when I first started to bake. She was there to encourage me all the way. Brings back sweet memories :)
ReplyDeleteThat cake sure looks delicious! And the flower is gorgeous. What flower is that?
Yummy..cupcakes.) The close up of the Calendula is absolutely gorgeous. I have them in different colors in my garden every summer. They are a must!
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteI am curious to what you call the white fluffy round bread item? And do you eat them with something such as jam or honey?
Hi Cathy - they are scones and they are eaten with jam/honey/syrup and whipped cream. They can also be eaten with butter. There are many varieties of scones including savoury ones like pumpkin which are eaten with just butter. Scones are made with self raising flour and have no yeast -I guess they are traditionally English, and are very common/traditional here in Australia also.
ReplyDeleteLoving that critter in the last photo! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us in the Nurture Photography Challenge! I can't wait to see what you come up with on Friday when we move on to our new theme: Green/Adventure.
Karen, in case I haven't told you lately, your photography is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to have a young accomplished baker in the house.. We tend to have a lot of sweet tooths around here.. but so far, our older boys are not altogether masters of the kitchen. :) My husband does quite well, though! He makes many cookies and cakes.
I adore the photo of the flower not yet opened.
How sweet to have a baker in the house. :) I love that your kids have found creative activities they like to do. The flowers are so pretty, and that's my favorite kind of winter--mild!
ReplyDeleteI could live with your winters! (o:
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful clicks and those scones and cupcake looks so tasty!
How nice to have a little baker at home.. Looks yummy. And I LOVE the photo of your flowers. So pretty..
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Mmmm - nice photos Karen. I specially liked the scones and the cup and cup-cake photos. Yum... - Dave
ReplyDeleteKaren, Thank you for your response.
ReplyDeleteScones, I am very familiar with at my house. What you have displayed is what I would call a biscuit, but it seems someone from your lovely country did not know what I meant by a biscuit. A scone is a sort of biscuit, with the addition of a tad of sugar in the dough. Usually our scones are not quite as fluffy...the differences are subtle, but there's a definite difference. Biscuits, we eat with butter, honey and jams(or jellies). They are are also wonderful with gravy. Scones are served with jams, jellies and cream, as an afternoon treat is the norm.
deine Fotos sind sehr schön. Ganz besonders gut gefallen mir das 1. und das letzte
