We had these gorgeous striped cushions made as well, you can just see the beautiful metallic stripe which give them such a glamorous look.

Baking Time! Raspberry & White Chocolate Friands....

I quickly made these delicious raspberry and white chocolate friands yesterday afternoon whilst trying to work through a to do list that just seems to be getting longer! Ignore the chunks of icing sugar, i couldn't quite find the sifter so i had to improvise!

My lovely friend Tamara who is quite the baker always makes these and why they weren't anywhere near as good, Luke and I aren't too fussy and enjoyed them anyway. I'm not too good with following the recipe and these had about double the amount of white chocolate than they were supposed to have!

The recipe is below if you would like to try it.

Recipe:

125g fresh or frozen raspberries
185g butter, melted
6 egg whites
100g packet almond meal
1/2 cup plain flour
1 1/2 cups icing sugar mixture
100g white chocolate, chopped

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Lightly grease 8 x 1/2 cup capacity loaf friand pans.

Crush 1/2 cup (75g) of the raspberries, place in large bowl with butter, egg whites, almond meal, flour, sugar and chocolate, and mix until combined.

Pour evenly among prepared pans. Scatter with remaining raspberries.

Bake 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand 5 minutes before turning onto wire rack to cool.

Dust with icing sugar.

Bunches of blooms ...

Our lovely, what were little geraniums suddenly became out of control and needed a big trim. Consequently after a whole lot of cutting back on Sunday, i was left with lots and lots of gorgeous little bunches of flowers, I found all the little glass vases I had and popped them around our home... Below is a couple of bunches on the end of a side table with other bits and bobs.

I also noticed that our first hydrangea flower has come out! I was very excited to see it as our back garden feels a bit green, not too long before the green should turn into a whole lot of gorgeousness. It also means that many of my other favourite flowers will be almost available at the flower markets - spring/summer is always my favourite time of year!
