Sourdough bread made at home (natural yeast)

  Read to be baked! Making bread with natural yeast, also known as sourdough, is a rewarding and traditional process. Natural yeast is a mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria from the environment.

Chef's Hat Birthday Cake

This birthday cake was made for a woman called Despo. I never met her, but from what I heart she is an excellent cook.  This cake was her daughter's idea and from what I was told later on, Despo loved it.
It was a chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate cream and covered with white fondant.

 I love creating new designs, and this cake was a challenge for me...
 Happy Birthday Despo!!
