Hello sweet friends!
What's with me, baking away like there's no tomorrow?!!! The thing is that I decided to try this yummy looking cake I saw at Martha's great blog, 'Lines of Linderhof' and I had all the ingredients and so I got to work... and let me tell you, it came out wonderful! I had apples and bilberries..not blueberries as the recipe calls for; but it turned out delish too!
If you want the recipe is at http://www.lflinderhof.com/search?updated-max=2013-07-17T22:16:00-05:00&max-results=7
I will save a big piece for my mother when she comes and meanwhile, Alejandro and me are having a piece in the den, while we watch Pope Francis in Brazil. We will have coffee, which he prefers and I do love coffee too,...we are having 'coffee-cake' aren't we? Oh...but you can have tea if you wish!

| These dishes are Alejandro's favorites from the designs I did back at our own Ceramic Factory. I used to called this pattern, 'Carnations' and the design is inspired in the Ecuadorian indigenous women embroidered blouses. |
 |
| This "Apple-Blackberry Cake" came out yummy from blogger friend, Linderhof's' 'Lines of Linderhof great blog. |
 |
| Hand embroidered mat made in Quito, a gift from my dear Mil and the tea napkins are from my Mil's embroidered collection as well. |

| Please disregard the chords under the TV table; as I am in the search of an 'antique piece' where I can hide inside the TV here in the den and to make it fit in the space...meanwhile it's not so pretty! The counter you see in front of the television is a counter-bar, because our den is right next to the living room, so when we have many guests they can sit in both places and mingle. |

| Here is the cake sitting on top of a cake stand with pedestal I DIYed myself. Looking for something else I found this beautiful Italian blue crystal platter, which I never use and have for a thousand years. Than it came to my mind that I have a small blue bowl I could glue it on and make a cake stand to go with blue china, like here. |
