Now that Christmas, New Years Eve and probably also all your days without work are now over, I guess we all have the same thought: What now? I really miss the Christmas Cookies, the wonderful smell of cinnamon that also reminds me of Christmas and the anticipation of all the wonderful things I am going to eat... Well, I guess that (and my love for sweet things) was the inspiration for my latest baking adventure. Maybe also one of my Christmas presents, a wonderful rose-shaped baking form, helped a little bit. :)

I decided to make a simple Cake in this form since the appearance of the form is already so pretty, one does not want to distract the eater with an exotic taste. But then I thought - why not pimp it up with something healty, like apples? The other thought was: Maybe I should at least try to get some vitamins, even if they are baked in dough, they still count, right?

So I went to the supermarket and grabbed some apples. I took off their clothes.

Hello, naked Apples. You look so (Golden) Delicious.

Happy New Year! May all your (culinary) dreams come true in 2014!
