As you may remember, just before Christmas, my youngest daughter turned 8. She wanted an Indian themed birthday party, so she and her sister could wear the beautiful Indian outfits their grandma got for them from India.
Doraemon Cake
My youngest daughter turned 7 on the 1st of December. She fell in love with Doraemon when we visited Japan a couple of years ago and this year she requested a Japanese themed birthday party and a Doraemon cake! As I too love Japan and grew up watching Japanese anime (Doraemon included!), I was very…
Rapunzel Cake
My youngest daughter Georgia just turned 6. I usually organise a party at our place, but this year she asked for something different. She wanted to celebrate her birthday at the bowling and invite some of her friends. And so we did. All I had to do was to make the birthday cake. Like all…
Playful Kitten Cake
My youngest daughter loves animals and she has a true passion for cats. So, this year, she chose to have a Kitty Cat party to celebrate her 5th birthday. I had seen some Playful Kitten Cakes around the web before and I immediately decided to try my hands at one, as they perfectly fitted the…
Frozen Cake
Like all little girls her age, Victoria has a fascination with princess stories and the latest Disney movie is no exception. She fell in love with Frozen (and so did her little sister)… movie, songs, costumes… everything. She knows parts of it by heart, I am not kidding! So for her 7th birthday party, she…
Olaf Yogurt Cake
Here goes the first of the 2 Frozen themed cakes I made for Victoria’s 7th birthday. She took this one to school to celebrate with her friends. The base is a simple eggless yogurt cake: quick and delicious! I love how it turned out. It looked impressive (people were asking where we had bought it…
MINI CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I always make cupcakes for my kids birthday parties as I love how festive they look and kids always devour them! As my youngest daughter’s birthday party was all about Miffy (and bunnies), I thought of making carrot cupcakes in the hope of keeping things on the “healthy side” (well… at least they did have…
MIFFY CAKE
My little Georgia loves Miffy. She has had a Miffy doll since she ws very little and has never separated from it. She sleeps with it and takes it everywhere she goes… it even came with us to Tahiti! So when I asked her what cake she wanted for her 4th birthday party she had…
MOLTEN WHITE CHOCOLATE PUDDING
My husband doesn’t like chocolate. Or so he claims. No, wait. That’s not correct, he doesn’t like milk and dark chocolate… but he ADORES white chocolate. So, when I saw these little molten puddings, I knew I had found a recipe that would really please him. My kids and I have no problems with any…
TINKERBELL CAKE
My eldest daughter Victoria loves Tinkerbell… she has all 4 movies and watches them endlessly together with her little sister. They sit together on the couch, under a blanket and watch these movies with great pleasure. When the time to choose her birthday cake came, she requested a “Tinky Cake”. I immediately decided to make…
VICTORIA’S 6TH BIRTHDAY
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 6!!! I cannot believe how fast time flies. Before I had kids, a year seemed to last forever… now it’s finished before I even get used to saying “Victoria is 5”!!! She is turning into a precious little girl and she can look so “grown up” at times……
PEPPA PIG CHOCOLATE & VANILLA CUPCAKES
These are the cupcakes I made for my daughter’s birthday party. My kids have a very sweet tooth (they took this after their daddy! ;-P), so cupcakes are a must for their birthday parties. I love making them as I have great fun, especially deciding on the decorations and colours. I was not very adventurous…
PEPPA PIG CAKE
My little Georgia is in the Peppa Pig phase… she adores it and would watch it all day long on TV if I let her… So choosing a theme for her 3rd birthday party was quite easy! I immediately decided to make a fondant cake with an image of Peppa Pig on the top. I…
SWEET SUSHI
I have been wanting to make sweet sushi for a while now! I always thought that it looked great. My daughter’s birthday party was the perfect occasion as it was a “sea themed” party. I have to say that this was probably the most successful dish of the buffet as it did look quite real and impressive,…
SEA MARSHMALLOW POPS
Organising a little girl’s birthday party can be lots of fun… but it also requires a bit of research. Especially when the little one has a clear idea of what she wants (and she’s only 5!). The theme HAD to be The Little Mermaid. So I started looking around the web for ideas (thank you…
THE LITTLE MERMAID FONDANT CAKE
As I am sure you have noticed, my eldest daughter loves The Little Mermaid so she requested an “Ariel cake” for her 5th birthday party. I must admit, I was a bit worried about it as making a human form out of fondant is not as easy as making an animal… in fact, it could…
VICTORIA’S 5TH BIRTHDAY
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 5 and I have been quite busy organising her birthday parties. She celebrated in school with her friends on the 16th itself and I made her a Little Mermaid Yogurt Cake to take along and some Flounder Shortbread Cookie Pops to give as party favors. When she came…
THE LITTLE MERMAID YOGURT CAKE
Today is my eldest daughter’s 5th birthday. I cannot believe it’s already been 5 years since I first held her in my arms… she was so small! And now she’s growing to be a beautiful and sweet girl. I will be very busy in the next few days as we will be celebrating her birthday…
ROSE CHEESECAKE
Lately I have really felt like eating cheesecake. I had some cream cheese in the fridge, but I didn’t feel like making a fruit cheesecake. While looking in the pantry I saw a bottle of rose syrup that we bought from the Indian grocery store. We all love this syrup and we drink it diluted…
