If you ask me, how was my weekend, i’d have to say … simply fantastic. Celebrated a friends birthday at this breath taking beach resort called White Sands. Overlooking the Atlantic, this beach with its pristine white sands is located in the town of Gomoa Fetteh, about 1 n 1/2 hrs from Accra. There is a Lagoon Terrace, which is flanked on one side by a white beach, and on the other, by a salt water lagoon and bird sanctuary. I cannot describe how picturesque this place is and my photographs do not do justice. Its very rarely that you get a wonderful place like this in Ghana. I’m not going to talk much, but just share some pictures i took. And ofcourse i made the birthday girl a cake !!! This time it was a Raspberry Charlotte, which by the way, she loved 
What marvelous pictures! That place looks wonderful and ever so peaceful!
A beautiful Charlotte! Yummy!
Cheers,
Rosa
the pictures are a delight!
i had forgotten about the *charlotte* cake one of my favorites with the lady fingers ~ thanks brings back memories.
lovlee pictures + website btw…
Rosa, thanks, the place was so serene.
Taste Memory, yea the lady fingers do make the cake one of my favourites too
Wow… beautiful pics, love especially the boy’s potrait and the cake ofcourse
awesome Charlotte cake and beautiful photos!! You’re friend looks so happy; I love sharing food with friends and family
Antionio, oh yes me too, i love sharing and cooking for friends.
Zita, the little boy was a Rastafarian fisherman’s kid, called himself ‘DA BABY RASTA’, he was toooo adorable, wouldn’t stop dancing and then caught hold of my leg and then wouldn’t let go of my leg ..hehe
What a gorgeous place! And a gorgeous dessert for the birthday girl!
Everything is so beautiful-
Your fabulous pictures gave me a glimpse into a world far removed from mine. Thanks!
It looks beautiful. Its nice to see the beauty of Africa. So many times we just see the neagtive. Stunning.
Magazine quality pictures!!!
Kate – but your pictures do do justice – what a lovely collection and I thank you for sharing these wonderful shots and allowing us to take a peak in a completely different world!
Could that charlotte BE any more perfect? Unbelievable! Great shot too.
If you say your pictures don’t do the place justice, then it really must be paradise on Earth!
Deborah, thanks so much.
Melaine, i know
evolving tastes … why is this so far removed from your world ? Where do you stay ?
glamah16, Africa is really so beautiful, and i’ve not even seen 1% of it yet.
Mishmash, haha really ?
Meeta, if you would have seen the place for real, then you would’ve understood what i’m saying
But its nice to share as i know there arent many Ghanaian bloggers out there sharing the beauty of the land.
Manggy , haha , how sweet of you, i have to admit, i couldnt stop looking at it either after i made it :p
If you ever do come to Ghana, i’ll take you to this place, then you decide !I’m planning to take memembership of this club, as i just cant get enough of this palce.
One lucky girl…really got to eat her cake made by applemint
Looks like a beautiful place and you guys had fun! Of course the cake is lovely as usual always making me wonder how you made it & transported it :-p
Mohini , smart girl , i thought of the transport factor too, so what i did was send it to her house at 12 midnight( she lives 2 mins frm home), so she could cut it with her family, cuz on sunday, at the beach party she had over 30 guests …. the cake just would’nt have been enough !
OH DEAR! your weekend make me jealous. those pictures speak in million world how gorgeous that place must be.
great shot!
These photo’s are stunning. Your cake is stunning. I love this blog.

And the cake looks delicious–as do all of the foods you post photos of. I wish I had half the food-photography skills you do!
Absulotely fantastic pictures & what a beautiful place. Each picture tells a 1000 stories & the ambience is wonderful. *SIGH*, just seems to be so much to do, & so little time. I've always been charmed by places like this…LOVE the Charlotte…lucky birthday girl!!O BTW, did I say how envious I am? xoxox

Thank you so much for you kind n encouraging words.
Passionate Abt Baking, i know how u feel abt so much to do and so little time. I so enjoyed the day out, cuz i needed it so bad !The atmosphere was out of the world, the sea was just perfect to waddle around and the scenery was exquisite.
Stardust, and i still feel i cant take good beach pictures, it all about the light and the hue and the skies and reflection in the water. It was a very cool cloudy day, so hence the pictures have a cooler tone. N yeah she was … a cake n a big present too
Rachel , haha he was doing cartwheels in the sand n fell in his face and got sand all over him … n then bcuz i was laughing he came n put sand all over me
Elra …you could’nt have said it better !
Rita hahaha … the only hot thing on that beach was me !!!
Homecooked , oh yeah she loved the cake … she wants me to make her another one and now i cant remember the measurements as i just made them with rough estimate ! Sign … now i need to figure it out again !
Thank you so much for stopping by! I am ever so grateful you did, because I am IN LOVE WITH YOUR SITE!!! OMGosh…everything is just so beautiful! I’m running to the kitchen to mix up something with cinnamon and honey right now, too!
