LOVELY, LOVELY BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES…

How  good  is  to  make  a birthday in the home  garden with a beautiful day of summer. This gorgeous birthday ,was a 6 year old girl. This  birthday was very beautiful, colorful and sweet. I loved the decoration (Cristiana baloes) of the cupcakes in balloons.  All around brings us back to childhood. The tables were decorated with lots of imagination, lots of variety of sweets and cupcakes. I loved everything!!!  Constance Zahn.

3 tablespoons good quality  cocoa powder ,plus  extra  for dusting .

 

METHOD:

In a large bowl ,whisk the double cream until it becomes soft and very firm. Transfer to the fridge to chill.   Caramelize the sugar(180g)   dry without water!! In saucepan on medium heat. Only the sugar!! Stir with a spoon until resulting caramel attains medium to dark tan color, without burning!  Add  immediately, the butter and 4 tablespoons of  chilled double cream  and mix well. Pour the caramel to slightly over chocolate, stirring gently until all the chocolate has melted. Let the cream cool down 45°C.  room temperature. Will be mixing the rest of the double cream slowly, so hat the cream does not lose volume!   pour the mixture into a serving individual  bowl cover with cling film and transfer to the  fridge for an hour or two until set. Just before you’re ready to serve, give the mousse a lovely dusting of cocoa.  This mousse is delicious! Chocolate with caramel make a beautiful wedding!

” FEAR LOVE IS TO FEAR LIFE AND THOSE WHO FEAR LIFE ARE ALREADY HALF DEAD…”

Love can suddenly emerge at any stage of  life.  Love not mark time or day, comes when least expected.   ” Life is a piece of theater that does not allow testing. So sing, cry, dance and live intensely, before the curtain the closes and the piece ends with no applause..” Charles Chaplin. Why is that   I like people who like and want to be happy !  I met  two” girls” aged 85 who decided to learn about surf-extreme sports,  after retirement! So we will live each day as if it where the last of our lives and always with big laughs! These gorgeous photos are of the photographer  Everton Rosa.

SWEET TO THE SOUL

0,,47963735,00

This recipe is one that leaves a pleasant smell to the kitchen and at hour of testing I can close my eyes to savor each ingredient. This buns are stuffed  with guava jam but I also use other types of jams  and  dulce de leche. I make my homemade jams, but you can use the ones you like most. For those who live in a country that has ease of having guavas, I can give a guava jam recipe. Here in London I have a supplier who brings me fresh guavas. For parties of kids I cut the dough with shapes with flowers, cars, etc…

BUNS  STUFFED WITH  GUAVA  JAMS.

Serves: 40 buns

INGREDIENTS

1 kg  all purpose  flour

1 pkg active dry yeast

1oo g sugar

4 eggs

550 ml  milk

250 g   unsalted  butter

20 g salt

DIRECTIONS:

In  a large mixing  bowl combine the flour and the dry yeast. Also add the eggs,salt and sugar.Stir the ingredients well, I like to mix with hands. Gradually add milk stirring  constantly. When the dough is smooth  and homogeneous, incorporating  butter. Turn out on a floured surface. Stir until the dough  stand smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest 1 hour. After the dough has rested ,divide the dough into small balls. Let rest until doubled in volume for 10 minutes. Finally, open a little balls and put a tablespoon of your favorite jam. Brush the buns with beaten egg. Bake the buns in preheated  220C , until golden.

Good appetite!

TEMARI CAKE

Temari cake is a real sweet art!! In Japan temari balls are made by the mothers and grandmothers ,for the children play,were made with leftovers from old kimonos. Over the years their embroideries were considered a kind of art. Today who receives a temari ball as a gift,means luck and a long happy life. The artist  Maki Searle  ( MAKI’S  CAKE) , was inspired by the temari balls ,turning them into beautiful mini cakes .Can be used in wedding parties ,as gifts for the guests to take home.I really like the flavor of each mini cakes ,they are  wonderful!  The atelier of Maki’s  cake is in  SURREY .As you can see by the photos I was presented with several to taste!!!!!
