Not cold enough?

This would be lovely in summer, but we want the ICE CREAM BOMBE as a Christmas dessert!

Result

Well, meet the pink barbie cake in a dress of marzipan & sweet sprinklers. I must say, it turned out pretty good given the fact that I can only make apple pie from a package or an extremely well Maitre Paul from the freezer.

And lets just pretend she's kneeling down, for the queen or something, otherwise she would have very short legs (none actually as I torn them of).

Leftovers

Baking is not my thing, but with two birthdays in a row I can't make the same easy recipe twice. These are the leftovers for the one in the oven at this very moment. Some spare legs anyone?

When you love Moroccan food..

Serious delicious

Okay, it is an excellent Christmas dinner choice, but I think it needs pre tasting, no, I know. Not a fan of Brussels sprouts, but I won't be difficult if you make it with the rest.

Lots of sweets at Sugarless

Our eldest son, well not actually mine I'm his wicked most evil step-mother since the age of eight, but still feels like mine as well, went to Barcelona for a couple of days. So his cats needed feeding and on Sunday we went with the whole family.

Turns out that downstairs there is this new wonderful sandwich, high tea and excellent coffee place called Sugarless. And, this is most important to me, all biological. Now in Amsterdam there are a few places with excellent biological sandwiches, but ones with really, 'aaaaiii, these are to good' cakes, sweets, muffins, all without refined sugars or any of these unhealthy flavors & fragrances, are quite rare.

Joyce & Jennifer, the two sisters who own the place, were kind enough to invite us in as a replacement for their absent upstairs neighbor, for their opening celebration. We did our best to duck into the sweets & champagne, kids loved it as well (not the champagne, don't worry).

So dear step-son, next time leave the dinner invitation and ask us for a cup of coffee or lunch downstairs instead. I'm not implying that you're a horrible cook, 'cause you're not, but you can't beat Sugarless.

Yummy, definately gonna eat this week

Hot Chocolate

As autumn is coming here in Amsterdam, we are graving for some hot drinks to keep us warm & cozy in the absence of a fireplace. This one looks just like what we need. Although we haven't got any kahlua in the house, we'll find it. Recipe from the lovely Nigella Lawson.

Yummy..

Reading the last edition of Flow Magazine, I fell for this extremely yummy dessert & cake calender, published by Snor filled with recipes of family, friends & acquaintances of the writers. Sorry to say it's in Dutch. If there's one on this page you really like, send us an email and we'll try to translate it for you.
