Naomi, the baker who created this beauty, says: "fluffy, golden, and sweet-but-not-too-sweet, this vegan cardamom bread is a great breakfast or snack (and would make some amazing french toast)."

We'll be there for breakfast and oh: we take our coffee black.

Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box

I totally dig this little salt safe made of strong and beautiful, not to mention environmentally friendly bamboo. The double chamber design lets you store your 2 favorite kinds of salt, so your fleur de sel de Guérande and your pink Himilayan rock salt will always be at your fingertips. ;)

Strawberry Crostata

from Technicolor Kitchen

The original recipe called for rhubarb and raspberries. Since rhubarb is very difficult to find here in Brazil, I used strawberries instead - and it worked really well!

Chocolate Turtle Cupcakes

from Bakers Royale

Naomi of Bakers Royale composes sweet decadence: "Open wide for a symphonic session of sweetness. It's Cupcakes Gone Wild - a chocolate cupcake with a pocket of caramel sauce tucked inside, and on top of that is caramel buttercream with some sprinkled brown sugar pecans and to finish everything off, drizzled caramel and chocolate sauce." Wow, bravo!

Pear Chocolate Brownie Tarts

from My Recession Kitchen

Look at these perfect little chewy brownies with sliced pears on top and tell me they aren't irresistible, I dare you. (There used to be a commercial in Europe where chocolate was slowly and lusciously poured on top of a beautiful pear and ever since then, I've deemed it the perfect pair: needless to say I'm all over these tarts.)
