What is summer for you?.. For me, it is happiness and hope! It comes in a form of silly daisies and juicy, sweet figs.. <br /> <br />I was not planning to bake this cake and honestly had no occasion. But fresh figs are the most delicious fruit in the world!.. and sadly only appear for a few months, so you should always take advantage of them, when you can. Both green and slightly pinkish inside or purple and dark red (as on my photos) - all varieties are simple amazing and absolutely gourmet. <br /> <br />Daisies are like a plague in Russia. They grow in every garden and every field or park. As a child I used to spend my summer in the country side. I would see them so often, that at some point stopped appreciating their beauty. But here in Paris, you need to pay for a bunch of flowers, even if they are simple daisies... These particular daisies come from my very good friend, who is allergic to flowers, but of course like every girl loves them so much that still buys them from time to time. Last weekend we had lunch at her place and after having suffered from allergy for a few days, she gave them to me. Thank you, friend for making my house a bit more "summery"!
