Bake | Fudgy Brownies (basic recipe)

We are getting ready for autumn. For the real one! A few rainy days and my sore throat (oh yes!) don't fool us. We can't really tell that "Autumn is here"! I can't wait to wear my knit cardigan and my glitter oxfords,  to wear my high-knee socks and drink hot chocolate with my boyfriend at our favorite parisian café. Later, when the first dark falls, you want nothing but cuddles at the couch while watching your favorite series.

In the morning, you' ll find a journal full of lists ready to be filled with your weekly program, recommended books and movies.Next to it, there is a mug filled with flavored coffee and some brownies dusted with cocoa powder and some icing sugar.

How beautiful autumn mornings smell like! 

Bake | Triple Naked Layer Carrot Cake

September smells like rain and carrot cake. There's nothing better for a rainy day than gathering at home with your family or friends and bake a glorious carrot cake to serve with your tea. Sweet afternoons around the record player, chitchat and delicious slices of carrot cake waiting at pastel plates to be eaten. The only think missing? Some rain and orange leaves, please! 

Hello September ❣ - The Bakery Project

Ιt's September. A couple of days ago we pulled out of the attic the box with our autumn decoration. Brown and orange garlands, leaves, branches, lanterns and pumpkin spice candles. A quite and warm afternoon we all gathered at the bakery and started decorating the place. Dancing in the rhythm of Ella Fitzerald's great hits (luckily my boss loves jazz music and that's why you will find a record player standing next to the shelves with the cake stands) while hanging garlands on the shelves, cupboards and shop windows. 

Drin!

The carrot cakes are ready. Baked and smelling like autumn. Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The secret of autumnal bliss. I love this smell. It makes everything orange and warm. The cream cheese frosting is ready in the fridge in a big pastel pink bowl. Using my spatula I spread this white and fluffy cloud on the cakes. I can't resist dipping my finger in the frosting for a taste. I always do that when nobody watches. This is the fun part of my job. Ohh, that creamy feeling taste and the flavor of orange zest. 

"Christina!!", my boss shouted.

"Oops!", I said and smiled like a bunny - carrot thief.
