Wow, what an incredible summer we had!! As most know, I spent the summer in California with our family before making our HUGE move to Germany! We went to the beach, Las Vegas, Knotts Berry Farm, waterparks and so much more! I also went on a girls only trip to Disneyland with my childhood best friend. We had a blast!!! And OMG, the dole whip. Y'all, I seriously ate my weight in that stuff. SO ADDICTING! And incase you didnt know, I am also a Disney vacation planner on the side, pretty much to help fuel my Disney addiction. (insert shamless self plug here.... Britani's Ears of Experience Travel page)
In August, literally the week before we flew to Germany, I flew back to Gerogia for one of my best friends wedding. I had the honor of creating her lovely rustic cake, pies and cupcakes. We decided to do a guiness stout cake with baileys buttercream and it was fantastic!
We have been in Germnay for about 6 weeks now and I can finally say that we are settled. There are just one or two boxes that are still unpacked but majority of our home is put together. I FINALLY got a 220v mixer, because the 110V from america wont work here. Its a smaller version than the one back home but it will do!
Here are a few things I have learned while being here:
Olives and fresh mozerella are an acceptable breakfast
The bakery down the road doesnt care about my hips and thats ok with me!
The food is made fresh to order. I mean, FRESH.
The grocery stores don't have a large freezer section because they only use fresh
Nutella crepes are to die for
They hardly use sugar and let the true flavors of ingredients shine. YAY for less sugar!
The fresh pretzels.....we are all addicted
Gelato....you have never experinced true European gelato until you have it shaped like a rose
There is some sort of "fest" every weekend for something. But thats ok because it always includes beer, wine and food!
The food is enough to make me never want to leave Europe!
Now that we are settled, I PROMISE to be better about writing some posts. The baking bug is hitting me hard this week so look out for some goodies!! For now.....check out the pics below and try not to eat your computer in the process.
