Looks yummy, right?

And let me tell you, this cinnamon bread really is yummy! Immensely!

I am actually so impressed by it that I would call it a gift from heaven.

Dear friends, please prepare this delicious, finger-licking, soft, yeasty, cinnamony bread over the weekend for your family. Or just for you. It’ll make you happy! So happy!

rhubarb and cherry crumb bars step by step picture recipe

It’s summer time.

Yippee!

With both rhubarb and cherries in season, I have recently decided to use both these lovely ingredients in a dessert.

Crumb bars seemed like a good idea.

And they truly were…a good idea.

A great idea, in fact.

In these bars sweet-meets-tart-meets-buttery to create a delicious, flavorful and refreshing summer treat.

For me, these bars pretty much represent what summer is all about.

Here’s what we need.

Photography: Bundt Cake (Before and After)

Posted on April 3, 2011 by zoomyummy | Leave a comment

photography, photo editing process, before and after comparison

I’ve always been a big fan of ‘before and after’ comparisons.

Don’t you just like them too?

They are so much fun to look at.

I like all sorts of them.

Whether the couple of pictures shows a face before and after makeup, a diet result or a cat before and after bathing, I love them all.

The pictures ‘before and after photoshop‘ being my most favorite, I guess.

Today, without further ado, I’ve decided to show the world my bundt cake’s before and after.

Though I am not sure whether the world is prepared for such an unveiling revelation.

Anyhow, here it is…

Tangerine Bundt Cake

tangerine bundt cake recipe with step by step pictures

I love bundt cakes.

It seems that I tend to celebrate the arrival of each season with them.

Somehow, it always works.

To welcome this year’s spring and Easter, I decided to go for a wonderful, fresh and invigorating citrus flavor.

And here it is.

In fact, the big clever books of baking would call this cake a chiffon cake.

Chiffon cakes are light and moist cakes that use vegetable oil instead of butter. That is the main reason why these cakes do not tend to harden or dry out as traditional butter cakes might.

That is positive, I think.

Frankly, this cake tastes just lovely.

Plus, there’s this delicious citrus glaze that increases the whole fresh experience immensely.

Here’s how you can make it too…

These are the ingredients that will come in handy.
