Berry Crepe Cake! Doesn’t that sound berrylicious? It sure is, ahh I haven’t had fresh berries in forever, well not since the summer.
Hubby went shopping in the States and saw these organic strawberries and raspberries, so he got me some…so sweet:)
I was so excited and couldn’t decide on how to enjoy them, I didn’t want to just eat them…I wanted to make something fabulous!
This turned out great! My son said…’better than I thought it would taste!’ Reason he said that is because after biting into a cranberry he found how tart they are…indeed they are, that is why you need to sweeten it, that is the reason I called it a smoothie and not juice.
I had a Fan Fav Party on my FB fan page, and this was the fan fav from jazzygourmetblog. As soon as my son saw this, he asked if I could make it, and so today I finally did it!
It turned out delicious, the whole family loved it! It is a dessert that takes time to make, so start off early so that it will be ready for dessert;)
Playing with my food again….I have been wanting to try the Rubik’s cube salad for a while now but I was intimidated as I am not good with chopping and cutting! I tried my best to make the cubes the same size and put it all together, I think I did ok for the first time. It is no where close to the perfect ones I have seen on the net…but for me its good!
Its summer time! So much fruit to choose from to enjoy and cool off with on a hot summers day! I love to make juice for my kids, and they sure love when I come up with new drinks! I was inspired with what I had in the kitchen, I had half a watermelon in the fridge, some left over cherries and my mom had got me some limes, I thought it would make for a good drink and I was right!
The other drink is made of oranges and strawberries, my strawberries weren’t as pretty as they were the day before so they were perfect for juice making! I had some oranges in the fridge that no one was touching so I decided to make 2 kinds of juices!
You can make this with a pastry shell, crumb shell or puff pastry….what ever your preference! I make it with sponge cake as my kids like it that way, you can make 2 cakes and fill the middle with custard and top with fruit and whipped cream if you desire!
There are no rules when decorating! Just use what you have and put the cake together the way you like!
I made this cake for a small wedding yesterday! My inspiration was the berries! Instead of making the same old flowers and roses, I decided on fresh summer berries….after all it is summer time! I only wish I had my hands on some red currants… unfortunately they don’t come in Ontario till mid July! That is where the cherries came in to play!
One of my favourite treats when I was a kid was my Aunt Angela’s marshmallow or ambrosia salad! I just loved it, still do till today! I came across a similar salad ambrosia-or-five-cup-salad by deelicioussweets which I tried out today as well and loved it!
Can’t decide which I like better, one has a nostalgic taste to it and the other a new fresh twist! After comparing the two I combined them in one big bowl! Ya I am one happy girl;)
For those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I found a new love and passion with juicing! I want my children drinking healthy juices, with out all the preservatives, sugar & colour! Juicing is best when first made so that your body absorbs all the nutrients it provides.
I have been experimenting with different recipes that I share on my fan page in an album named ‘juicy juice’.
My kids love fruit punch, and for years I have been giving them fruit punch that gave them a sugar high, rather than a natural healthy one that gives energy from natural juice.
Getting the kids to like homemade juice on the other hand was a challenge, they are so use the store bought….. they were sold when I made them this! Whoo hooo I was so happy that after all that effort they loved it!
