Alles zu meiner „Backerei“, Rezepte, Fotos, „Yummy Things“
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.
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.
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…
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…
I tried to gather the best ideas for a popup stall to bring to my friend Dani’s baby shower party. Maybe they inspire you too. For a boy, I decided to put it into an all blue/taupe/grey decorating scheme. As the name is not ‚fixed‘ yet, I could only use sewed „baby boy“ letters. One-pieces are cute way to decorate the stall. The problem was that I could not find any biker- or rocker style baby rompers on the german market. Thats why I tried to enrich some basic onesie’s with a bow and a tie, as well as braces und scarfs as add on. Since Dani is eating at least for two, the mom-to-be deserves a menu that is doubly delicious. I just love the tiny little yellow caterpillar which is downloading crushed oreos. I also filled decorated bottles with a mixture of cranberry and apple juice and a delightful splash of bubbly ginger ale. Dani also loves cinnamon rolls as well as cheesecake, so I just combined the two recipes into one. Voila! The first cinnamon roll cheesecake was to be tested on that day.
Yes, I know, VD is over (I am not even mentioning the name), but that should not stop you from having a sweet and hearty breakfast together with milk like those peanut butter cookies. Whilst I am at it, I also have some leftover table decorations pictures from the day I am no longer mentioning. Moving on to spring then, not such a bad idea anyway.
