I went to a lovely event with Recollection Vintage the other evening, and it was full of gorgeous eye-candy and inspiration. Beautiful flowers and vintage furniture. What is it with our connection with flowers? Is it all the petals that we like? The graceful folds? Is it the scent? The softness? I don't know - but I am such a sucker for fresh flowers.
After all that prettiness, I was craving sweets - so I decided to make donuts for the first time. Lemon ones with a light vanilla glaze. I had baked 36 of them with the intention of them lasting the week, but within two hours they were all gone. I had eaten six, with Brian polishing off the other 30, hehehehe.
If you'd like the recipe - check out the City of Dionne facebook page.

Your donuts are gorgeous Dionne!
You made those donuts? They look AMAZING! I love little mini donuts. Especially the ones that are made in the Fall at apple orchards. What a sweet post =)

How fun! Vintage + sweets + fresh flowers?! Sounds like pure bliss :) I think it's the connection with nature that draws us to flowers...and that fact that nature could produce something so beautiful, with so many colors and scents...it's a pretty amazing thing! :) I can't believe Brain finished 30 donuts in an hour! :) That's what you call a supportive man (clearly he liked them! ;)
Flowers and donuts . . . a perfect combo, Dionne.
Fondly,
Glenda
Such a sweet and lovely post, Dionne :love:.
With so little you created huge fantasies.
I really want the recipe; but not if José will be polishing 30 ;)
Thank you Sweetie!

Looks like an amazing event, love the vintage/cute vibe:-)
the donuts looks super yummy!
i love flowers for all the above mentioned reasons and also because they are each a little miracle in them selves.
What an idyllic post-donuts and flowers. Those donuts you made are so cute that I can't wait to give them a try. Though on your FB page recipe, it said to combine dry ingredients in a bowl then add dry ingredients. I'm guessing the wet ingredients were to come before the dry?
Wow!! You made those donuts!! They look so delicious!! I like the pictures too, they look beautiful!!
The flowers, the donuts AND the photographs all look gorgeous. I am going to try out your recipe, perfect as spring is easing into summer here in Australia.
So delicious!=)
Hi Dionne,
May I ask what software/tools you use for your drawings? I would love to be able to try! Thanks
Wonderful!
