I found a use for that cake plate I mentioned yesterday- displaying cloud cakes.

We had family around for dinner and I decided coconut macaroons and oranges would be a nice dessert. And there were enough leftover for morning tea on Sunday. Not bad at all.

I used this recipe from a while back, but didn't have sliced almonds for the top this time. I also added a bit more coconut to make the finished cookies a bit firmer.

Have you heard the latest National album, Trouble Will Find Me? I'm finding it a good accompaniment to my winter days.

    Love the way you display things when you take your photos. A blog to also enjoy is ‘enjoy the small things’
