Christmas Cake
My X-mas project succeeded. Chistmas cake vol. 1 was good :)
3 sponge cake layers, blueberries and vanilla cream in between, cream cheese frosting on top, marshmallows and fondant hats…
16th December 2012//Mini Citrus Pavlovas
I love sweet paul magazine. You get so many lifestyle and food ideas… When I bought the winter issue, I had to make SOMETHING of the cute stuff in there.
So I chose the Paclova recipe. Of course, I gave it my own touch and created a mini version of it. Found it looked cuter somehow.
The taste was very interesting. Vanilla and citrus are not an every day combination. I can imagine it could be a nice dessert of a dinner full of modern creations the light kitchen offers. Or as a refreshing dessert in summer…
Halloween Cheesecake
Are you still looking for a halloween treat? I have got one for you. I mean, it is not especially a halloween dessert, but i think it suits the occasion with the right decoration… I hope you guys like cheesecake. If you do, you will love this. If not, you will possibly like it as well :D.
The cheese batter is a good classic recipe I found in Dr. Oetker`s book “Cheesecakes”. To make it suitable for halloween, i topped it with oreo crumbles and blueberries. This way it looked black, a good ground for those cute chocolates.
Top with any holiday sweets you like.
