It is my second visit to Justine’s blog Eclectic Odds n Sods, to join the The Tea Time event because I promised to bring cake to celebrate my Blog’s one year anniversary.
Justine expected me to bake a cake, but I had no time and would rather bring something that would not disappoint her, as she is a Master Chef UK (I just appointed her).
This is a Raspberry-Champagne cake wrapped in white chocolate. This is my husband’s 2nd love, after me and daughter’s Fleur, of course.
I decided to bring his love-cake to the celebration, because when celebrating this blog’s anniversary, I must thank him the most for being my most patient, thorough and unpaid blog’s editor in chief. I exploit beyond measure his skills as an editor. He’s so dedicated to his role that when I post during the day without his final edition, he finds time during working hours to warn me of typos in posts just published. So…the first slice goes to him!
Enjoy the cake!
Now let’s raise the glasses of champagne…but…err…wait…sorry, we’re still waiting for Andy, Mara and Desley to bring the drinks!
Go there and join the Tea Time #6.
Don’t miss it.
Now WOWEEE I am in love, gosh, now that is posh nosh or what? Seriously, is there a cake that can beat this in sheer elegance and I look so expensive you can’t afford me look, that knocks one’s sock s off, thank you, I shall tuck in nicely to that perfect cake and make a big mess. Did you eat it all yet? lol xxx ps Happy Anniversary again and i am super thrilled at a double entry…i mean post…yikes…runzzz
It’s chic mic my dear! Posh nosh too, if you may! Lol
I haven’t yet eaten a slice because that will be done only after Desley, Mara and Andy bring the booze!!
Take action, please!
Xxx

Great choice. I love cranberries. Thanks.
I still need to copy the recipe to share it. Look forward to the celebration of my year.
Curious about the recipe. Have a lovely weekend.
That on
That on my To Do List
Wow! My regards to your husband, you’re very lucky to have such a huge support by him! And, of course, congratulations to your anniversary!
Belated thank you, my dear. I’m running behind with replies.
Husband sends very best wishes to you!
Qué suerte tener un ayudante tan especial y tan efectivo!
Decididamente me apunto al pastel, se ve precioso y sin duda estará a
un mucho más bueno, pero es cierto que con una copa de champan seguro que será mucho más delicioso.
Si se necesita, puedo aportar alguna botella…
Muchas gracias Mariangeles! Este ayudante es especial!
Estoy guardando las galletas para usted. Y por favor aporte la botella de champan !
❤
Cuenta con ella, ya sabes que aquí tenemos el cava de Cataluña que es tan bueno como el francés (eso dicen…)
Me gustó más la tarta maravillosa que las galletas, pero solo por tener una charla tranquila las dos, me conformo con las galletas y un cafelíto.
Un abrazo.
congrats on a full year and on keeping your editorial staff so motivated 😉
Thank you! My editorial staff went on strike… Lol
oh no, the publishing industry is a tough one. and good help is hard to find these days 😉
Staff has resumed work. Lol. However will work less hours per week. French style. We cannot count on them anymore, you’re right. I cannot even fire him as he’s my husband! 😉
you may not be able to fire him, but since he’s family you should be able to light a fire under him when needed!
I like this idea. Let’s call it voluntary and on demand slavery. Should be ok!
since fifty shades is all the rage, you could also go that route and tie him to the desk…just be sure to agree on a safeword first (ok this might be going too far 🙂
Congratulations on your anniversary. And lovely looking cake. 🙂
Thank you so much!!
Can’t wait for them to brng the booze that we can start celebrating! Your cake looks far too good to eat!
The booze never arrived. Lol.
and then they will post the empty bottles 😉 lol
You bet! Lol
Cheers to the sweetest things in life: loving family, passions to share, friendship and last but not least, a Delicious cake! Keep me some, I am on my way with many bubbles XXX
I knew it had to be a French lady to save party bringing bubbles! Thank you!
Cheers to friendship and family!
Xxx
The best things we ever need in life 🙂 (although, a few bubbles never harm!) ❤
Happy anniversary! Xxx
Thank you so much! Xxx
This cake looks amazing and what a touching tribute to your husband 🙂 and to your blog! Cheers!
(I’ll wait for the champagne but for now, I’ll take a strong cup of coffee, please:) )
Cheers my friend!! The champagne never arrived! So let’s settle for a coffee!
Oh ok we will have to save the champagne for another time… Perhaps my visit to Amsterdam ?
But the coffee will do just fine in the meantime!
I am sorry I missed this post. Yum, how good does that look?!?! And raspberry, chocolate, champagne – all of a girl’s favourite things. Fabulous!
Sorry I didn’t bring the drinks, perhaps the empty beer bottles in my latest post might help explain…. xxxx
You will have to taste when you visit next. Added to your list.
Well, I had heard about the destination of the bottles content, through the grapevine. Lol
Xxx
LOL…xx
