Layered planet earth cake - Bolo em camadas - planeta Terra

Here we are again!

For my father's 69th birthday party we decided for a space theme party! 

And, of course we needed a special layered cake! 

First buy 3 bowls of different sizes.

Choose a recipe. I choose orange cake.😊

 

Red for the earth core.

Yellow for the mantle. Put the first red cake incide the yellow and both of them go into the oven.

Orange for the upper mantle and repeat the process and all three go into the oven!

And now the most important part - the crust! 

And our planet has a Nutella crust! Now put the oceans and all the countries in the north hemisphere!

OK it's more like Pangeia, but it's almost, ok not even close! 😔

Happy birthday!

Nautical cookies

Hello again!

Today we did lots of nautical theme cookies for my sons's college. 80 cookies order!

So for this order we decided to make new favors. So half was a gluten free mix with almond and the other half Mexican chocolate, that's saying chocolate with a small amount of cinnamon.

There was a big variety of cookies: submarines and boats, sea creatures, sun and flags...

Then I decided why not do a mermaid and a diver! Yes! They came out really rough...

Enjoy!

French Macaroons

So, what can I say, I decided to host a tea party and no party is complete without petit, pink french macaroons.

So after a few you tube movies and a big thank you to Beth from Entertaining with Beth here I am with the result.

I must add that it was not difficult. You must follow the instructions and not deviate. NOT DEVIATE. This part is important. 

I just strugled with the temperature of the oven. 160° and still too hot...

And you must use one of those templates to get them all the same, and that's it. go go go

I used the one from get creative juice, as you can see, :) just simple and perfect.

But I am a difficult person, so I asked myself, do I realy need a template... Here is the result with and without template...  

What do you think?

Of course I need a template, and here it is. Much, much better!

Now we wait for half an hour and then oven with them.

Not a very good picture, but believe me, they are great!

I decided to make a raspberry filling and a nutella filling.

Sorry no recipes, but you can findthem everywhere!

Just lovely!
