Macaron Earrings

Earrings: Made them myself, see how you can make your own here

Blouse: Book of Deer (old)

Hello all!

I'm sorry I have been absent from the blog lately. People who follow me on Instagram (@curlsncakes) will know that I haven't felt great recently. My depression and anxiety hit me quite hard these last few weeks, and I haven't been very motivated to do much of anything. I am glad to say that I am feeling much better, the sun is shining and there is a smile on my face as I'm writing this.

This will be a tiny post, where I just wanted to say I'm back, and to let you all know that I've collaborated with this really cool site called Cut Out + Keep. Together we're bringing you a DIY on how to make polymer clay macaron earrings. The ones I'm wearing in this post.

You can find the DIY and a little interview here.
If you do decide to make these earrings please let me know as I would love to see your creations!

I'll be back with an outfit post very soon.
Much love,

Long summer days and berry cakes

In Sweden we celebrate Midsommar (=Midsummer) at the time of the summer solstice. It's an important festivity in Sweden, only rivalled by Christmas really. I enjoy Midsommar very much, not so much because it finally means some warmer weather but because it is the longest day of the year (on the northern hemisphere). Where I live, the sun doesn't even set, giving us a full 24 hours of daylight - I love it!

Another thing that I enjoy about Midsommar are the berries. And for the celebration of Midsommar cake is a necessity, so what better than a cake filled with juicy delicious berries!

For Midsommar this year I made a No-Bake Berry Cheesecake, and I topped it with fresh berries. Oh how I love berries!

NO-BAKE BERRY CHEESECAKE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package of Oreos (154 grams)
• 50 grams butter, melted
• 300 grams cream cheese
• 250 grams ricotta cheese
• 4 dl heavy cream (whipping cream)
• 120 grams sugar
• 250 grams raspberries
• 250 grams bilberries (or blueberries)

DIRECTIONS

Crush the Oreos to crumbles and add the melted butter to it. Press the Oreo crumbles into a round pan (preferably a springform pan). Put into freezer while preparing the rest.

Cook the berries (can cook them together as they will be mixed) and purée it.

Whisk together the cream cheese, the ricotta cheese, the heavy cream and the sugar until it thickens. Add the berry purée and whisk until it is evenly distributed. Pour onto the Oreos in your pan and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably over night.

Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving.

Much love!

Woven fairy tales

I have previously shown this lovely blouse from Book of Deer on my instagram, but I feel like it needs its own blog post. This is not a sponsored post, but Book of Deer needs to be recognised for their unique clothing.

Book of Deer is a small independent brand created by the talented Eilidh Ho. And from the first time I laid my eyes on their beautiful clothes I fell in love. Their style matches well with my own, creating feminine garments with cute details and an air of whimsy. Their clothes are like fairy tales made in fabric.

Earrings: Made by me

I particularly love this Kitchen Blouse, because it makes me think of tea time (and what's not to love about that!) with its darling embroidered collar. It's such a warm colour and the embroidery adds so much character to it. I adore this blouse.
