Leftovers from Easter

From a decoration point of view, Easter definitely went by too quickly. I still have some cute ‚unposted‘ pictures. So before the next decoration season comes along, here is everything form a very healthy Easter breakfast with fruit filled Granola shells and Easter buns to a little airwalker bunny enjoying to be in the background of a herb basket.

Birthday Cake Buffet

I love birthdays, especially my own. But it always comes and goes too fast. It´s already been almost 2 weeks. Luckily, I still have pictures of the little buffet to „post“ from it. So it feels more like it was a 2 week event.

Strawberry Cheesecake

For last Sunday’s cake buffet (Pictures coming up this week, I promise), I wanted to do another Cheesecake variation. I love Cheesecake, so I tried one with Strawberries. Looking at it, it feels way more summer’ish than March. My only problem was that at first guests did not really dare to cut it with all those beautiful fruits on top.

The recipe is a variation of the New York Cheesecake that you can find in my German book „Backen mit Love“ (click on the pic to enlarge). For it´s beautiful colour, I just added 3 tablespoon of mashed strawberries to the filling and replaced the blueberry topping with sour cream and fresh strawberries. My original recipe below. If you are not so into German, you can find lot´s of New York Cheesecake recipe variations on the internet.

Well, Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust. Do I need to say more ? I am trying new recipes and this will definitely make the short list. However, as it is Monday, you don´t really want to know what´s in there. The only good news about the bad weather is that low temperatures help with the layering of the caramel and the chocolate.

Since years, this is my favourite cake. Easy to to make, with a warm golden color and a pleasant spicy flavor – just the right thing to enjoy with a cuppa tea on a rainy sunday!
I used ginger syrup, which my sister in law gave me as a gift. Unfortunately the hubby hates ginger, I do not know why. Well, who wants a grumpy hubby at home?? So I reserved him a thick slice of banana bread. This should keep him happy.
