And finally a memory of Christmas & New Year's Eve baking...
Next iterations of the sponge cake I did many times - always a treat. Now a routine job.
Assorted poppy seed and apple cakes from the winter. Creamy sour Greek yoghurt instead of whipped cream is the way to go.
Basque cheese cake - near perfect after ca 6 iterations now. This was my own birthday treat.
#cakeposting is the today's hashtag indeed. Here's a tender quark cheesecake in a yeast dough crust from about 3 months ago, iteration nr. 2.
Continuing with #cakeposting backlog from last few weeks, here's a cooled cream tart - very spring and summer treat.
I didn't do any #cakeposting recently. Not that cakes didn't happen, I was just busy with other stuff. So here we go with yesterday's birthday tart for my younger one. @hob

Version #2 is already near perfect, it will only get better from here. in the future.
Spring is here, friends are coming, life is ok.
Christmas mood: midnight baking, kids helping, everybody having fun, sneaky snacking, pot licking, jokes, quarrels. Good stuff. Let Christmas begin! #baking #cakeposting @hob
Sponge cake filled with berries. Summer delicacy. Life is good today. @hob #cakeposting
The same poppy seed cake recipe as couple of months ago, except this time in the form of a tulband/bábovka. Successful integration test for a little birthday party in 2 weeks. @hob #cakeposting

I don't like posting this sort of stuff, somebody died there. But technically speaking, this is a clear shot of a crazy Russian tank explosion throwing its turret to a record altitude.

Another poppy seed cake. Sort of a classic this one. Yet, one of my favourites.
