This year marks the 2nd Christmas that M and I will be spending alone without our immediate families. Two years ago we had an unplanned holiday in London due to weather travel delays. On Christmas day, we watched Santa travel the world on the Norad website and celebrated the holiday with a vegan meal at a special restaurant in London.

Since this is our first Christmas we plan to spend home alone, I want the holiday to feel extra special. I picked up the December issue of Martha Stewart Living and was inspired by some of her DIY ideas. But, what caught my eye the most, was a special Lemon-Mascarpone Crepe Cake just perfect for the holidays.
Doesn't it look delightful? Layered between 20 plus crepes is a delicious lemon curd filling. It's topped with a thick mascarpone frosting. The exact recipe above has yet to make it to the internet, but I found a similar recipe on her
website. You can also watch her make a Lemon Meyer Crepe Cake on her
show. I should warn you, this cake is truly a labor of love. I think it will take an entire day to prepare, but I am up for the challenge.
With a partial meal planned, now I need to find the decorations. First on the list is a tree, which I have no clue where to find in Hong Kong. I will keep you posted on our Christmas adventure.
