Same lemon cupcake with lemon, vanilla-bean cream.
The lemon vanilla cream is whipped cream with vanilla bean lemon curd folded into it. Just DIVINE!
Raspberry compote transformed into a raspberry sauce.
I split the cupcake into three layers, filled it with the lemon cream and garnished with raspberry sauce.
YUM!
la noia che schiaccia, idea improvvisa, cuciniamo qualcosa, qualcosa dal risultato garantito, pesa, mescola, trita, accendi il forno, un caldo pazzesco, ma come caspita mi è venuta quest'idea, mi si arricciano i capelli, ormai non si torna indietro ... ecco il risultato, me lo mangio in giardino, seduta sull'erba, all'ombra di un albero.
My second try covering a cake with fondant.
It's not perfect but I guess I'll have to keep on trying(sigh)
Birthday cakes for tomorrow. She wanted my "retro" cupcakes but all in pinks. I wasn't sure how they'd turn out in pink but I was happy. Sooo much work though it doesn't seem it........
I could not help but bake something in my mum's kitchen. Using also her garden red currants. I never get enough of these in the US. Recipe soon on La Tartine Gourmande
Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year. But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born. Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011. For more ideas on how you can support Bliss contact katiaw@bliss.org.uk
Go ahead, bake my day!
I've been trying to do this for a while, and finally got a chance to set everything up to get the lighting the way I wanted to give it a more realistic window light look/feel.
Strobist: SB800 in front of camera simulating window light, SB600 on camera right as key light, large foam core on left as fill. Slightly PS'ed to bring out the shadowed areas. Stay tuned for lighting diagram... i'm working on it.
p.s. Thanks Joyce :-)
Last Tuesday my beautiful, wonderful, generous, kind, thoughtful, and talented best friend Nati took a day off work to come to my house and slave over 40 mini cakes with me! She's the absolute best :) She also brought a delicious salad, bread and home baked cookies with her. I'm such a spoilt girl. We worked from 10.30 am to 10.30pm with a few breaks in between to get these little suckers done. They are 5cm square fruit and chocolate mud cakes (10 fruit and 30 mud) and let me tell you, no amount of money is enough for these, they are as labour intensive as a large cake!
Still it was a great day, with Nati and my daughter D'arcy helping out too, she cut out all the hearts for us, including the ones on the wire.
These are a selection of some of the 60 B&W cats I made for a book launch on the weekend.
Had so much fun with these!!
