Big Birthday Supreme

For my own birthday I made this cake, with sugar fondant frosting that I colored, and roses of the same material, which I used a whole evening coloring and transforming into beautiful shapes.


First I baked sugar-bread, which is basically just egg, sugar and wheat flour.
Make as many as you want, part them in two or three and put whipped cream, jam and vanilla curd between every layer.
Cover everything with cream and place the sugar fondant over.
Make it as nice as you want;)
It was raining on the way to the part, so thats why the cake doesn't look as nice as it should on the picture.
Happy Birthday!!!

Home Made Napoleon Cake With Puff Pastry Sheets

Nobody makes home made Napoleon cake any more, and thats why I decided to go for it!! I had never tasted it before, in my 23 year old long life, and decided, it was time...  So I started searching for recipes, and I think I found a good one at the end. 

Its not hard at all to make Napoleon cake, its actually quite simple... let me tell you how...

You need 4 puff pastry sheets (if thats what it is called) and they cant be frozen, so make sure they are not.
Put them on top of each other and roll them out so they make the same size as the plate in the oven. Make small holes with a fork, so the dough will keep the same shape and size. Let it be in the oven on 200 C for about 20 minutes. Divide it in two when done.

Cream:
6 egg yolks
60 g sugar
6 dl cream
3 ss maizena flour
6 plates of gelatin
3 dl whipped cream
3 ts vanilla sugar
Rum flavor

Put the gelatin plates in the water, and mix egg yolks, cream, sugar and maizena in a casserole on low heating until it thickens.  Add the gelatin and stir it even.
Let it cool down and make it perfect by adding vanilla sugar and rum flavor. Mix this together with whipped cream. Let it stay in the fridge for about three hours, it will then be easier to build the cake.
Put one of the puff pastry sheets on a plate you want to serve it on and add the cream. Use a lot of icing sugar on the top of the other puff pastry sheet and lift it on top!!
Voila!!!

Herb Stuffed Mackerel



Mackerel is a delightful fish, but sadly - not used as much as it deserves... 
Here I will show you a nice and healthy recipe you can impress friends, family and lovers with...

Clean some mackerel by cutting with a knife from the ass until the head... Drag the stuff inside the mackerel out and clean it with water...Do this to as many fish you want to... some people eat one, some eat two, and very few people eat three, but if they do, don't blame them, blame your self for cocking a great meal, and me, for giving you this fantastic recipe..

Take some salt and pepper and rub it inside the fish.
Stuff it with some fresh herbs, for example rosemary, sage, thyme, chives and mint.. try to choose some of them, everything together can be a little to much.

Cook it in the oven until done, at 180 degrees. Its done when it's done, I can't remember for how long it should be there...

Squeeze some lemon on top 5 minutes before taking it out, pour a little water and spice it up with more pepper and salt..

Serve together with a simple green salad, some oven-roasted potatoes, fresh lemon and some expensive white wine!!!

Nice..

Since We Are Already Speaking The Banana Lanuguage


As I've already said... Since we are already talking the banana language, why not care for the people that can not eat gluten, drink milk or eat sugar??? It's important to let everybody be a part of the tremendous cake - so we can all live in perfect harmony.

Let me just start, by bragging of a fantastic book called Kernesund mad, whick is a danish book i bought a little while ago.
In there, it is a recipe, which I now have tried, and proudly can say, handed out, to those in needs - the ANSA meeting over at Julies...
Although we also had buns and cocoa, this went down as a slippy eel..only sweetened with the juice of one orange. HEAVEN!!!!!!

I'll post the delicious recipe, so neither of us is stuck with balloon tummies, slimy throats or runny noses.... Which people tend to get if their body can't handle sugar, milk or gluten...

Glutenfree Banana cake!!!!!
50 grams of sesame seeds
150 grams wholemeal rice flour
150 grams buckwheat flour
100 grams roughly chopped hazelnuts
1 dl rice flakes
1 dl rice milk
2 tsp cinnamon 
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp carnation
1 tsp cardamom 
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Juice from 1 orange and the orange part of the peel 
2 dl raisins
2 tsp baking powder without wheat
100 g coconut oil
4 rotten bananas
2 eggs

Nice.. do you have all of this? If you have.. check if it's also organic, would make both me and you more happy, and the person eating it of course...

Mix all the bananas, coconut oil,  ricemilk, and eggs and add the orangejuice little by little... Mix all of the dry...
Put in the oven for 30 minutes, on 180 C, or for 15 minutes, if making Cup Cakes...

Yummy yummy
