Kalispera & Au Revoir 2012


These Greek cakes are from our favorite little sweet shop in Nafplion, Greece: 



Dolce. 



Do these make you think of New Year's Resolutions? 




As we ring out the old year,



I thought we could bring in the new
with sweets of every shape, texture and color. 


Some, like these, are drowning in honey. 


Somehow even the Santa looks Greek to me. 


Clearly the Greeks don't mess around. 


And as we go into a new chapter of new beginnings.


I'd like to wish you every sweetness 



in the coming new year! 

May your cakes be filled with luscious creaminess,
your lives powdered with luck and grace
and your days merry and bright. 

See you in the next bliss-filled year!

  1. Kirsten, all the best to you this new year. I wish I could travel like you and eat everything in those photos. My new years resolution - not eating sugar! It is just a thought because I have a full set of sweet teeth and know this one won't last. Okay, I just pulled the center of an oreo out and threw it away.

  5. Oh, these Greek desserts look so yummy. I just found a Mediterranean bakery down town that has baklavah. I hope the new year is being kind to you.
