Mix and match........

It's always nice to wake up early in the morning to enjoy the day....especially when there are some flowers blooming in the garden waiting to say hi to us, right?
The idea of desserts today came from the garden....something sweet and something floral....lavender swiss roll.

It may sound like a strange flavor for swiss roll. I also wasn't sure it would be a nice combination. I never tried making any desserts using dried lavender buds before. Adding too much lavender powder, I would end up eating something that smells like candle or body lotion!

I chose to mix some dried lavender powder in the cake batter and matched with peach and whipping cream for the filling. I love the color combination of it. The final cake has a hint of lavender smell which is pretty nice. It really goes along well with peach.

Having a slice of this cake with a cup of tea or coffee is heaven. My guests love it as much as I do. Come and enjoy it with us!
