My Boyfrind complained some days ago, that I bake always bread, but never a torte. Well, I fear that it’s true because I do not like tortes so much. But I own a tiny little springform with a diameter of 18 cm since Chrismas (Thanks Erika and Alwins :-D), a perfekt Size for a small torte for two.

Today I have no bread to present but a botanical rarity that flowers in the botanic garden Bonn!
