💚Find Your Little Friday💚
Ask and you shall receive. After an overwhelming response of inquiries about getting her recipe for her matcha butter cake, my lovely friend Adrien has shared the goods. Follow along below to recreate your own Little Friday moment at home. This is a perfect addition to an afternoon tea with friends, the end to a yummy meal or just when you want to make something creatively delicious. Also, the shade of this cake is a perfect addition to any St. Patty’s gathering for this month ahead. A lucky companion to bring along. 🍀
