I love the renovation of this church in Santpedor, Spain. The combination of the old crumbling church (built between 1721 and 1729) and contemporary elements is stunning. A perfect blend of preservation and renovation. Architect David Closes really shows his brilliance in this design.

Last month I got inspired and a little ambitious and made Maple Gingerbread Layer Cake with Salted Maple-Caramel Sauce. It’s the most complex cake I have ever made. Previous to this endeavour I had never made my own caramel sauce or candied pecans or made a whipping cream based frosting. It was fun!

It was as yummy as it looks!
