A Country Wedding Cake

Unfortunately, since starting a new job in February I don't find nearly enough time for baking anymore as I would like too. But when my brother and (then still prospective) sister-in-law asked me whether I wanted to make their wedding cake I was more than happy to get my baking utensils out!

Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting from the Hummingbird Bakery

At this time of year there are usually a few engagements around. Very excitingly, my brother and his awesome girlfriend just got recently engaged, but unfortunately Germany was too far for me to fly over to celebrate with a glass of champagne with them. However, my boyfriend's sister also just got engaged and we caught up with her and her fiancé at their parents house for some dinner and bubbles. I thought an engagement cake would be great to celebrate the occasion. 

Pasteis de Nata (Donna Hay)

Pastéis de Nata are little scrum-deliam-ptious goodies that I tried in a cafe in Melbourne for the first time. By the time I moved back to Hamburg in 2011 you could get them at a lot of cafés over there too.
