Photo Diary: Eating Berlin






















As you may have noticed, food is a major theme when I'm on vacation. I not only love eating and trying out new things, but I also love taking pictures of yummy looking food. These are all pictures from my second day in Berlin, and even though I didn't notice at the time, it turns out a lot of my day was spent drooling over delicious looking cakes and stuffing myself with macarons and bubble tea. At the end of the day when we got back to our hotel, I had two huge pieces of cake with me that I devoured in a matter of minutes. One was a slice of amazing carrot cake from a tiny cake store we found by accident on our way to dinner. The other was a slice of sticky caramel apple cake from Starbucks, and my goodness it was good! I'm starting to understand why I always put on so much weight when I'm on vacation haha.

007 - My Guilty Pleasure

Okay, so today I decided to get creative with cookies. It totally didn't work so they came out as regular chocolate chip cookies - but oh so yummy! My submission today is a photo of my guilty pleasure.

Drooling over Happy Lady Eats

I'm a food fanatic and I just love the way food looks, smells, feels like and of course tastes like. I've come across a lot of yummy food sites and blogs over the years but none have been as delicate and delicious as the Happy Lady Eats blog. Here you find a collection of gorgeous food related images and fun foodtastic stories, and you can't help but get cravings after you've seen this. It shows food at it's most aesthetic and beautiful and it always makes me want to grab my camera and start taking pictures of my dessert.

Pastries in Prague

Last April and this Christmas my boyfriend and I went to Prague and were really taken in by the gorgeous architecture, lovely weather and ESPECIALLY their wonderful local pastry called trdlo or trdelnik. Apparently it means “crazy” bread. It’s sweet bread dipped in toasted almonds and sugar then heated on metal pipes. The blog Gastronomy Domine illustrates it very well. It was a really delicious snack and I just couldn’t stop eating them. I even bought one the last day there and had it for breakfast the day after we arrived home in Copenhagen. Trdlo could be found at the lovely Easter or Christmas markets that were scattered all over central Prague and the small stalls had huge styrofoam trdlo’s hanging from the roofs as signs. It was really lovely and it was perfect for the holiday season. I'll write more about Prague later but for now I'll leave you with pictures of this delicious pastry.
