Cupcake Istanbul Weekend * Cupcake Istanbul Haftasonu

During Christmas weekend, my hubby and I were in Istanbul.
Our Americans friends were in town so we had a great time in Istanbul.
This post is kind of overdue but here are snapshots from our weekend.
Istanbul welcomed us with rain ;)

The weather was not so great. It was rain mixed with snow.
But we did not chnage any plans.
We had lunch at the Kitchenette in Taksim.
There, I met with one of my followers Gulcancoo, the lovely sister of Lulucumm ;)
Next time, Lulucumm will also join us. Right ?
