Food art competition

Hello Darlings! :) 

I created some fun stuffs from food! 

There is a food art competition on one of the Hungarian written recipe site to create something artistic from 

A: fruits

B: vegetables

C: desserts

So, I did all the 3 tasks, and I'm here to show to You them, as well! :) 

Check them all out! 

xoxo: Hajni

Banana Cupcake Monsters

Yay! I did all my exams!!!  :D

(I'm still waiting for the result of the last one, but I'm not worried about  that.)

So, I thought it was time for me to bake something FUNNY, and these 

Banana Cupcake Monsters were born. :) 

I even made a video for You, which can be found below. :)

 Oh it's so great feeling vacation time. Happy Summer to All of You! :)

Gastro-programs for June! :)

Hey Guys! We are nearly at the beginning of SUMMER, 

(although the weather has another opinion),

 even some of us has reached his/her Vacation time! :) 

/not me, I still have 1 exam left../ 

But if You're coming here this month, or if You are just interested in our country, I'm sharing some

really enjoyable gastro-programs,

 to You! :) 

So, be prepared, there will be beers, strawberries, strudels... See below ;)

Sacher Cake with apricots

Hello Summer! :) 

I wake up on the first morning of summer with a great smile on my face every year. I just love this season, and even if the weather is not so sunny, it always starts with a great happening, as my Mother's Name Day is on the 1th of June. 

This year she wanted me to bake her a Sacher cake, so this yummy cake needed to happen. :D 

This time I searched the original recipe from Vienna, and followed that, with a little change as I decorated it with apricots.

The cake is seriously yummy, with a lot of chocolate inside, it's worth to try! :D

Pina Colada Cake

It was a soft, juicy, sweet cake, yum yum! :D

We had a Girly Evening at my friend's place, who had just received her bar mixer qualification diploma. So, we celebrated with beautiful cocktails, that she was mixing for us! :) Therefor, it wasn't a question for me, what to bake for that occasion, because my favourite cocktail is Pina Colada. :)

Even at our collage, we could try to mix this drink during a catering course. It was real fun! :D

Chocolate Cupcakes

 I think I am not the only one who just LOVES chocolate, so I created something delish, for us! :D

Well if You are on a diet, and you're still reading it, I can't help. You will break your rules. :D 

This cupcake is definitely worth it, (or the plus 20 minutes of sport ;)) 

Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate and Peanut butter frosting :)

Little Potato Pie

Hello! :) This time I brought You a real Hungarian speciality, a salty, little potato pie, "Krumplis Laska" or "Lepényke".

That is a typical dish in 'Palóc' folk region where my mother and her relatives are endemic. :) It's in the North of Hungary, and in the South of Slovakia. 

My mother was happy, when she got her first piece of it, because the last time she had this, her grandmother made it a long time ago... 

Although the preparation is a bit longer than expected (I guess I started with too large amount of ingredients) , however the taste worth the time to make it. :) 

Chocolate & Coffee Balls

Sziasztok! :) (Hello in Hungarian :D ) How are You?

I'm in the finish of the semester, there is only 1 week left, and I will have 4 exams. It's hard, but bearable. 

I usually find some ways to make this period more endurable, for example I only listen to gleeful music, do some aerobics, and make some easy quick tasty desserts like this, when my energy is on a lower level. 

So, if You are also in a stressful period, don't give up, do some pleasant activities! ;) See the recipe below: 

Strawberry Cake

Happy Mother's Day for all the loving and caring mothers! :)

I baked this cake for my Mom and for My Grandma, they both liked it! :D (And the boys as well, a cake is always a good gift, because everybody got a piece :D )

And this cake is a LIGHT cake, it's so weird :D because it happened accidentally. You know, I usually bake without counting calories, or that stuff, because I do sports instead, and I can eat everything. :) But now, we just ran out of sugar... (shame :D ) and I used my shelved grape sugar instead. So why not bake a light cake? I switched the sunflower oil to olive oil, too. Health concious readers, here's your cake! :D

So here is the recipe: 

Cappuccino Smoothie

  Oh Yay! Just 10 workdays till the end of the semester. (if we don't count the exams, but, whatever) Only 10 days in school, and here comes my Internship in a marvelous 5-star-HOTEL! :D After that, diploma, and the Sweet Goodbye, and the big START of my real life in the real world! :D 

I have my dissertation subject, too ( it's a secret for now, but I can say, that it's related to You as well, dear Readers! ♥ )

I've got another cause for celebrating.... We have reached 1000+ likes on FB! :) Thank You so much for Your support. :) I can see the statistics, too, and according to them You love the most my Strawberry Cream, so I created another Summery Dessert -->Cappuccino Smoothie. :D

I know You love it drinking, so why don't you do it, in an even more dessert-like fashion? :)
