A day full of accomplishments

[wiseheart]

Firstly, behold my yummy Kirsch-Schmand Kuchen - a cherry cake, the dough of which is made with Schmand, a special kind of creme freche I've seen here for the first time last Tuesday:



In the background you can see Grandma's antique kitchen scales which I still actively use.

Then I've finished my little shoulder pads-turned-into purses:



They are nothing special but I need something cheap for the fair, too. ;)

And, in case I hadn't posted it yet, here is Mum during her latest coffee outing:



Actually, I think I have posted it already, but it's a nice pic and we're - hopefully - going again tomorrow.

In other news, we survived the chiropodist lady, slept a little afterwards, ate leftover soup with the cake as second and I had a nice, long chat with Eenie on the phone. All in all, a successful day.

That cake looks amazing - I want some!

And a very easy one to make, too. I can give you the recipe; even if you don't get Schmand, I'm fairly sure any kind of thick cream will do.

Sad to say my baking days are over — I don't even own an oven — although it's surprising how well some baking goes in the microwave. Also, I haven't the patience to do fiddly things like that lovely cake

Those purses are cute.

Not a big cherry fan myself but I know some cherry lovers who would dive into that cake.

Thanks. I'm sure the cherries could be replaced by other kinds of fruit, so if you want the recipe, I can provide it. It's super easy to make.

I would like to eat a slice of that cake right through the screen. It looks delicious!

I wish I could offer you a slice. :)

I love those scales and the cake looks beautiful. So does your mum.

Cake looks appetising! I so love cherries, though you seldom get really good ones here!

I got some amazing ones at Lidl today, but this cake was made with sour cherry compote.

The cake looks really tasty :) And the wee purses are very clever — and I can see them being good sellers, too.

Great picture of your Mum!
