Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread.

Princess Castle Birthday Cake (No.2)

This is the cake I mentioned in my previous post "How to transform Ice Cream Cones into Sugar Painted Cones".  It was a big suprise for Marissa and Korina, and I was very pleased to see them enjoy their cake!!  Below you will be able to see a few photos of the making process.

 The lake was created with caramelized sugar which was overcooked and smashed.

    Great step by step photos here! I am sure the recipients will be talking about this awesome cake days after it is all gone. I think that there should be a Princess day for all girls every year and on that day, don't forget the cake! Well done!
