My cousin was confirmated last weekend, and I got to do the cake! (Yay! I also got to take pictures). The event was on saturday, so I spend the entire friday in the kitchen making the cakes. I made them as open and closed books, and I ended up being very satisfied with the results, especially the closed book.
It was fun preparing the decorations, I used edible rice paper images, ordered here, and fondant, marcipan, edible foodwriters and edible metallic paint.
The less fun part was after the confirmation, I caught a cold, and am currently not feeling amazing… (more like crap, actually)
I’ve been seeing ”deep dish” cookies all over the many blogs I stalk and Pinterest for some time now. They are usually baked Continue Reading…
Okay, this cake is really good. It uses a minimum of ingredients to create a moist, dark, delicious Continue Reading…
Yes, I know, I missed my own blog birthday… But sometimes things happen outside blogland (outrageous, I know), and you miss important, blog-related stuff.
However, I have not forgot about my blog-birthday-giveaway! Continue Reading…
Hello :) how are you? I would like to invite you all to a birthday party! A virtual birthday party, for Miss Overballe :) 26th of April will be the 2nd birthday of my blog, and should be celebrated appropriately with cake (for me) and presents (for you)! Continue Reading…
I have been MIA, I know. But the whole bathroom debacle has put my baking to a minimum, and I have mostly repeted recipes when I’ve actually baked something. Easter is primarily spent trying to finish the bathroom, so I thought I would post a cake I made a couple of weeks ago.
It is not my prettiest cake, but I kind of like it anyway. Slathered in meringue, with sprinkles galore and wafer flowers. Love. Spring colours and happy sprinkles :) The picture is taken with my external flash and my boyfriend balancing the bottom of my cake caddy (which is white) to bounce the light and make a nice picture :) (happy when playing with my camera! and with sprinkles…)
Happy Easter everyone!
I realised early today that it was Pi Day (the blessing of foodblogging, early remembrance on any type of holiday). However, actually making a pie (you know Pi, Pie) didn’t occur to me before I coincidentally happened to finish work early and found myself in charge of dinner for four. The whole “responsible for dinner part ” made it easy to determine that the dessert pie should be simple and easy. My Oreo crust is ridiculously easy to make Continue Reading…
Okay, the long and the short of it is, you need to make these. And then you need to make them again, and make extra for me. Like, right now. Oh my, they were so delicious, you just have to try them. They are amazingly easy Continue Reading…
My boyfriend doesn’t like cookies. He will eat them at times, but he doesn’t enjoy them, Either they are too dry, or too soft or there is something else wrong with them. These, however, seem to be the exception. I’ve made them thrice, he has tasted them twice, and both times eaten them voluntarily and even said he liked them. (That’s high praise for a cookie, my friends!) Continue Reading…
I am always on the lookout for cut out cookie recipes. These cookies must retain their shape when baked and they HAVE to taste good. I have a brilliant recipe for vanilla cut out cookies (These are known as sugar cookies as well) and a good recipe for chocolate cut out cookies. But obviously, this isn’t enough. On a whim, I decided to add raw liquorice Continue Reading…
