Last days of February are really intolerable!
Non stop rain, the whole day is grey… I desperately need comfort food.

My comfort food ideas start with desert or something sweet for teatime.

We all have apples at home, overtime they get softer and no one wants to eat them any more. A perfect time to use them as left overs…

I hope you enjoy my cake as much as I do.

Sunny days will come…
