Ah, summer! It’s time for bright colours, juicy fruits, joyful moments and…playful jewels. When I am on an enticing trip, I like to move away from the well-known tourist paths and explore the hidden treasures of the city. This time, I came across a cute little bakery that opened its doors for me – welcoming me in and coaxing me to indulge in some mouth-watering delights. A tablecloth that borrowed its hues from delicious coffee, a tiered cake smothered in gooey chocolate and sprinkled with blueberries, desserts sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. I want to stay forever  in this moment!
