Cupcakes by Fantasy Cake Company – Our Go to for Birthdays

Posted on May 7, 2026May 1, 2026 by Jupiter

Now, I must say that when our children were younger, I use to always make their birthday cakes! As they got older, however, and wanted more realistic cakes in designs I could no longer do, we decided to go with a local baker for our cakes and cupcakes. Since then, I have used Fantasy Cake Company for a number of different events from my own birthday (because who wants to make their own cake) to little picnics and events.

Dann and I had a little overnight in Cambridge, to pretend to be tourists in a new place, essentially. When walking around one of the streets in the sunshine, we stumbled upon the Cambridge Gin Laboratory, which had a bunch of events listed on their door.

Breakfast at Café Hawelka

Posted on May 4, 2026April 23, 2026 by Jupiter

In our explorations of the different cafes in Austria, we went to Cafe Hawelka one morning! Cafe Hawelka feels very homely, like it hasn’t changed in years, transporting you back in time. It is one of the last great traditional Central European coffee houses, ran by the family that founded it 80 years ago. Over the years, a large number of famous writers and artists have frequented this cafe, so it’s got tons of history in it too.
