My grandma (I called her Baba) made these in her coal oven. How she regulated the temperature is beyond me! She always made extra rolls for the neighbors to bake in their own ovens. My mom and aunts would deliver the formed rolls at lunchtime. —Charlotte Hendershot, Hudson, Pennsylvania

You’re going to want to throw a tea party after glancing at our uniquely delicious Chamomile Lavender Tea Cake! Infused with our Chamomile Mellow Teabags (aka the secret ingredient), this gluten free cake has subtle tones of lavender and chamomile. Beautiful and quaint, this is definitely a cake to impress guests! To create that beautiful Chamomile flavour, you simply brew 6 teabags in milk, in a small saucepan on medium heat. If you prefer a weaker or stronger flavour you can use less or more teabags . The strength of the flavour will also depend on how long you brew the teabags for. We found 3 minutes to be a just the right amount of time to produce the delicate flavour. In order to make this cake really pop, pour the mixture evenly between 2 cake pans and bake in the oven. Once the cakes have cooled spread your delicious glaze on top of one of the cakes. Making the glaze is really simple and you'll only need three ingredients: sugar, water and vanilla! It's not our healthiest recipe, but you can easily replace the icing sugar with stevia icing sugar which works equally as well. Mix the ingredients well together so a syrup forms. The mixture shouldn’t be too thick so you can easily spread it for the middle layer (use less water for more thickness). Once you’ve spread your icing on one of the cakes, sandwich the second cake on top, now stand back and watch the mouthwatering drippage appear! With the leftover icing/glaze, pour it on top and decorate! We kept it simple and used dried lavender, both whole and buds. The addition of the lavender not only adds a beautiful taste but also a sprinkle of lilac colour! Serve right away and enjoy!

19 year old college student, Riley Delton, somewhat ridiculously meets her end when she slips on a banana peel. She thought that that was the end for her, but immediately afterwards she wakes up in some strange forest in the middle of nowhere. It seems that 'The Gods that be' have decided to reincarnate her into a world filled with magic and kingdoms and handsome princes, so that with her knowledge of modern life and society she will be able to speed up this worlds slow development. Of course they won't send her in defenseless; they decide to give her many magical gifts and powers so that she will be able to live happily in this world and hopefully make her way up he ranks and influence it in a good direction. Good luck Riley. ~~~~~ Follow Riley as she becomes rooted in the kingdom of Girannon, reborn as a powerful Mage. PASSAGE FROM BOOK~~ "Suddenly I froze. Why on earth was I in the middle of some Forest? I should be in a hospital or at least still lying on the pavement where I slipped on that banana peel. Why was I here? Where was here?" (For anyone that reads manga or watches anime this is your typical isekai story) *This is my own story, not a translation* Inspired by 'I've been reincarnated into another world with my iphone' and many other isekai manga
