Mood Swings + Cake Vibes

Wether the moons around Saturn eclipsed and Venus had entered my orbit or I woke up on the wrong side of the bed… Today was an off day for me. I’m not entirely sure why, I didn’t have anything pressing to make me feel out of kilter? The sun was out and I just felt unmotivated and sluggish…

During lockdown I was living with one of my best friends, and he knew something was up. So… he baked me a cake! A ‘baked with love’ type of cake… like I adore him but bless, the aesthetic was more on the dirty delicious side of things! - Needless to say, this made everything better.. (like within an instant aha, I even got to devour the leftover buttercream!)

Flavour? Blueberry and lemon - a stunning combination and heck, I thought to snap the day by taking the time to a photo op with said cake and baker! ‘Bake Off’ style.

I wanted to blog about this because, it cemented a lovely little notion to me. ‘I get by, with a little help from my friends’ (Thank you Beatles) - The support, care and love to do something completely out of the way to make me smile and feel better… Just a little bit of nice goes a long way.

So, to commemorate the day… with the photos taken, I mocked it up into a recipe book!
