Le Prime Rose E Un Dolce...The First Roses And A Cake...

The Roses have begun their Spring Bloom...  Casually placed in Natural Baskets, along with a few Branches,  and Eggs,  dyed in deep,  rustic hues, they made for simple, Nature Inspired  Easter Table Centerpieces. The Cake was a Dark German Chocolate,  dressed in Handmade, Dark Chocolate Butterflies , Twigs, and a few little Eggs, all  painted with Gold Luster Dust.

Buona Pasqua... Happy Easter...

Torta al Cioccolato al Tartufo... Chocolate Truffle Tarts...

Dinner with friends calls for a special dessert.  Chocolate Truffle Tarts are pretty special... A Chocolate Almond Cookie Crust,  with a Deep Dark Chocolate Truffle Filling... A perfect way to end a meal...

Pane... Bread...

There is something very satisfying about Baking Bread. I've been doing it almost daily.  Today it was Ciabatta and Rustic Artisan Loaf...  We shouldn't eat a loaf a day though... So,  i'll give some  away...

Primavera!!! Springtime!!!

 It's officially Spring...  Enjoying longer days in the garden and the sweet smell of Freesia...

Uova Per Pasqua... Eggs For Easter...

    A Styrofoam Egg, Straight Pins, Beads,  and a little time.  Simple and kind of cute... My kind of project...
                             

Un Piatto Per Dolci.... A Plate For Sweets...

 I made another  Candy Cake plate ,  this time using Green Starlight Mints.  I simply put the candies close together  in a circle, almost touching  on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper,  then placed it in a preheated 350 oven for 9 minutes.  It's just like the red one I made at Christmastime,  but the Green Starlight Mints are pretty for Springtime Sweets... The color reminds me of that fresh , new green of Springtime...
