"Do not seek success, find happiness"
Now is the coveted summer, and with it a very demanded recipe... two months ago that it was not published a tart. Soon we will enjoy the holidays (some do already...) and with them in the Sun and the beach. One of the pleasures that I enjoy more and more. But never tired. And it is that I am addicted Sun and suitcases, and the beach... What can we do!.
I've lucky enough to visit many beaches, some of them national and many others in distant countries, in stunning corners surrounded by wild nature. Here you have two of my favorites, of the best beaches in the world so you can see the wonders that hides our planet.
At this time we began to look in the mirror and wonder what this will be in bikini This summer. The answer is almost never positive, and we torture ourselves wanting to lose a few days those pounds that almost nobody seems to him we are unnecessary but that we we strive to want to lose. This is my whim, my rest between so much lettuce. A bit of pleasure in the form of a lovely cake which is delicious. Call it cake watercolor because the first time that I I did, my mother saw her said "but if it looks like a watercolor! ", and so remained, with the name of cake watercolors, as the colors of the sea and the beaches we visited.: blue, water violet and Navy." I hope you enjoy it as much and you enjoy it as much as mine do it whenever I do it. Let's go for it!.

This cake was originally posted at Sweetapolita, in the same color palette, even. It is such a shame that she is not even mentioned as “inspiration”

Dear Leila, I am sorry for this. The original post was created with the mention to Sweetapolita. A couple of years ago, the blog was migrated to a new theme, and posts were divided into traveling and cooking (at the beginning all posts had a travel introduction as well as a recipe). Unfortunately, some info was lost in this process, some times ingredients disappeared, and some other some making steps were lost. Every time I find a gap I amend it but I had not been aware of this one before. In fact, I did share this post with Sweetapolita when it was released, and she loved it! I have already amended the post as it was originally written. Many thanks for your writing making me aware of this, and thanks for being around :)
