Tres leches is one of my very favorite desserts – I still remember the very first time I had at the Cadillac Bar in Dallas. I could have eaten plate upon plate overflowing with that milk-soaked cakey goodness. This coconut version offers up a spin on the original by using coconut milk as one of the three different milks in the leche mixture. Yum.

I’m completely and utterly fascinated with the work of photographer Erica Shires. Her ability to catch a moment is breathtaking.

The weather has been spot-on beautiful for the past few days, so of course it’s supposed to rain both Saturday and Sunday since I won’t be cooped up in an office. Go figure!
Have a fantastic weekend and lovely Easter Sunday filled with headless chocolate rabbits and stale marshmallow Peeps!

Meet CB2s modern version of the Luxembourg gardens chair – the Buena Park Bench. Park yourself closer to the ground, slouched in laziness with the sun shining on your face. Rust-proof with really pretty ivory cushions in moisture and mildew-resistant spun polyester. Buena park chair also available to match.
The Signature Now & Then Cake Stand is kind of a little guy – only 9″ across. The red hue and shiny glaze finish sold me anyways. Makes me want to bake snowball cupcakes and stack them up on it!

Hot Cross Buns mean Easter at the grocery store. I’m ashamed to admit that A.) I’ve never attempted to make them and B.) I chose this particular version of the recipe because the title of the post was “Fruity, Spicy, Sticky.”

An understatedly simple personalized piece is something no girl’s jewelry collection should be without. This piece would be the perfect addition to mine! The disc is 1/2″ in diameter and available in five different font choices: Roman, Circle Monogram, 5 Line Fancy, Helvetica and Wedding. Now yellow gold isn’t really my thing, but it’s also available in white gold from what I can gather.

This is something that I remind myself of daily, in so many different arenas of life. Leave it to Lisa Congdon to put it down on paper so beautifully!
