Do you remember my friend Dorota and her lovely cakes?
Amazing and delicious.
What a talent she has, hasn’t she?

MyCake, Her Cake, and Your Cake
A while ago I wrote a post in which I was telling you about my friend, Dorota, who is a wonderful fairy and turns everything around her into beauty. A week ago I had a chance to photograph her at work. She’s been always a very creative soul, capable of making magic. The cakes presented here are her art and below you can see her preparing another one for a very hungry customer.
I read somewhere a while ago that “True art is control over passion.” I think you can see it all in her work. Dorota has always been a great inspiration to me and I will be forever grateful to her for showing me that I do not need a permission slip to create. But imagination and perseverance.
If you are interested in Dorota’s cakes, contact her through Facebook at MyCake. Dorota is based in Poland in the region of Wielkopolska. Her handmade cakes have travelled long distances before so just get in touch with her if the idea of combining art and food appeals to you as much as to her.
Not sure if I can give this one up…
The nothing new challenge which I embraced this year is asking for a sacrifice… a healthy one though… I will need to stretch…. and I am being literal here… because I need to start exercising more as otherwise I may end up not having anything to wear when the weather gets warmer and when I travel to the beautiful and warm island of Cyprus at the end of this month to visit my friend’s family. This is not going to be easy as I am one of those people who is more inclined to choose a book over a stretch. So quite a change is required from me in this department. And… there is this other weakness… cakes… I just really like baking them… and eating them too, of course. :) Do I really need to give them up? Is it not possible to lose weight and have a slice or two (or three ;)) of cake on Sunday? Sunday cakes – oh, this is something so ingrained in my Polish culture. This is what my family gathers for around 4 o’clock in the afternoon every Sunday – the 3C’s: cake, coffee, conversation. Giving up cakes is like giving up childhood for me… unimaginable. Is it the same for you? Is it easy for you to resist sugar?
This week I’ll be posting a recipe for a very easy poppy seed cake. Watch the space if you are a fan of baking. Sorry if you’ve just decided to give up sugar for Lent, you see, it’s time for you to learn that temptations are everywhere even in blogosphere ;)
Below is a photo of my first attempt at making cheesecake. It was nice but even for such a cake lover as me a bit too rich.
