To be honest, this was close to be a complete fail until Ellie and Ivana showed up. I found some fresh lavender on a walk yesterday and rushed home to bake something. Minor issue: we barely have any baking supplies. I improvised a random recipe for shortbread cookies, but they ended up being too puffy - more like little cakes. So then I was sad and about to trash them, but the girls were like just frost them with something. Boom. Genius. And deliciousness was born.
