Being a bit over saturated by Halloween posts and sweets all over the internet, I’ve been hearing old Cardigans records, stumbling through swedish blogs, retouching pictures from my last trip to Stockholm and baking a delicious Swedish visiting cake. I found this super easy and quick recipe here and adapted it. Smaklig måltid

I love creating personal birthday cakes, especially when I receive a lot of information about the lucky birthday person. Cecilia loves cinema, photography, fashion, cats, traveling and cakes as much as I do and has the most colourful blog. I made her a happy green tea and raspberry cake with white chocolate cream. Hope you like the result
