When my best friend C and two other of my good friends were visiting a few weeks ago, C asked (demanded π me to make apple cake. Of course I complied π Very simple vanilla cakelets filled with chopped apple and decorated with sliced apple. Very simple but very good π
For those of you who are curious how big I look 8 months pregnant (I look bigger in real life btw, my dad took a flattering picture π

Hope you’re feeling wonderful! You’re looking beautiful. Sure makes me remember 8 months.

You look tiny in that picture π
I am sure that those pretty looking apple cakes were delicious with the sour cream and all; brown sugar is also something that makes for that extra “oomph” in baked stuff, something sour like sour cream/buttermilk, brown sugar and some alcohol maybe are my favourites in baking π
You look great, Some women, like you, carry pregnancy well.
And the cakes llok perfect for an afternoon gathering.
I love to see a big preagneant belly! Thanks for sharing! You look adorable and so do your cakelets!

Your apple cakes are very cute. I love seeing the many versions of apple cakes, it’s one of my favorite treats. This is a very cute idea, I really like the apples on top.
These look so delicious and sound so easy, Linda. Though I’ve never seen vanilla paste. I’ll have to look for it now.
