Nothing is quite as comforting as warm apples spiced with cinnamon and sugar; such never goes out of style or season. So enjoy life’s small pleasures and savor a slice of this Apple Cinnamon Bundt drizzled in white chocolate.
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” – Robert Brault
These words speak to me. Perhaps it is because I have seen how quickly life can change. How something we have grown accustomed to – something we have taken for granted, can be gone the next day without a trace remaining.
Those experiences have taught to me to savor and delight in life’s small pleasures.
Take for instance this cake.
There is something satisfying about having cake in the early morning hours, when the world outside is quiet and still; served alongside a fresh cup of coffee and shared with someone you love, over girl talk.
I believe each morning that begins this way is destined to be a good day. If only we could allow ourselves such indulgences more often.
Our theme for this month’s #BundtBakers is cinnamon.
Some either like it or hate it, I find, but I personally love both the taste and warm scent of cinnamon.
I was very pleased when our hostess, Lauren of Sew You Think You Can Cook, revealed February’s theme.
If you have never been to Lauren’s site please take a moment to stop by. We’ve been following her for quite some time and I always enjoy catching up with her on BB’s reveal day. She never disappoints!
Thank you Lauren, for being such a gracious host…we thoroughly enjoyed baking with you this month!

Such beautiful photos of a stunning cake. Sometimes we all need to take a moment to get away and just enjoy a piece of cake, it is the little things that count and the things that memories are made of. This would be my perfect idea of an ideal moment – a cup of coffee, a slice of apple cinnamon bundt cake, and a good friend to chat with.
