Afternoon tea party at home

 


I was thinking that after a long time, I might continue posting my baking adventures here. :) 
Since I started my graphic design business, working at home, 
I might have more time to keep up with it. 

We have visited London recently, and we wanted to recreate the atmosphere of their traditional "Afternoon Tea" for our families.

I made sandwitches, I baked English scones, and little desserts. And of course we served tasty rich flavours of teas, and a bubbly champagne and we listened to nice music.

Even though you need time to prepare everything, it is much more affordable having afternoon tea at home. 
I brought the scone recipe I followed, and the pink sandwich cookie recipe.

Baking our wedding cake ♥


Hello Friends! 
The most beautiful day in my life (so far) was in June, we got married with the love of my life.
I was so excited, I wanted to do nearly everything by myself, the decor, the organizing, and yes... The cake! Now I wouldn't suggest it to any brides to bake their own wedding cake, as the days before the big day are already stressful enough, but it was so nice that I could tell to our guests, that I BAKED IT
The cake itself was a 4 layered cake, each layer with different tastes. And I baked a separate gluten-free cake, about 50 muffins for the dessert table and 160 heart shaped gingerbread as Thank you gifts.
Yes, I know, I am weird to do all this, but I loved baking them. The most stressful part of this was the way to the venue, as we had to deliver all this with our car, with the rest of the decoration and wedding dress. Fortunately, we could divide all these in two cars. 
So, In this post I will show you more details how I baked this huge cake, and the rest of the sweets. (And some insight into our wedding)

Cocoa CheeseCake


Hi Dears! :)
I brought You these beauties, a little cake with lots of goodies inside.
I'm sorry for not posting for a while, omg, two weeks without cakes...

But as I mentioned, besides my job, I finally started my Confectioner studies
It will be 1 year studying in school and I will have an internship as well in a Confectionery. So I figured that I will post here regularly about the real kitchen studies. :) 
So as a kind of compensation, from now on You will have at least one post per week from me on the learning project. :D I am super excited about it. 
The first day was yesterday, although it was just theoretical, and those I have already learned in the University, so for me it will be easy to pass.
The real practices will be on every Wednesdays. :)  
And next year around this time I will take the biggest exam to become a professional Confectioner. :) 

OK, let's get back to this sweet. We celebrated our 5th anniversary with my Honey. We met in a high school camp and soon we were starting dating. 
Now, we are engaged and a couple of month ago we started looking for our own flat. We are still on the project. :) 
I baked this cake for him, and I wanted it to be special, so I used quite a lot of kinds of ingredients, but the good part is, that I managed to do it really fast.

Chocolate chip muffins baked in orange


Hi Dears! :)
One day I had a funny idea, to bake in orange peels, like they were muffin liners...
So, I tried it! :D Now don't tell me they are not cute! :)
Although, I realized they needed more time, than baking them in average paper muffin liners, so, I would recommend to bake them in regular muffin tray, then serve them like these. 
The result is really eye-catching, and your guests will be amazed. :)

Orange Muffin

Hi Dears! :)
Happy May to You!
Do You have any special customs for this month? 
We have a holiday on the 1st of May, the Day of the Work.
 /Some traditions we did not delete from the communist times/ 
There used to be a happy festival on the main streets/avenues, where all the big companies represented themselves with their workers, and their families. Music, songs, May Day, cheering for the presidents, plus sausages & beer were the main characteristics of this day, until the 80'-90-es. 
Nowadays we have a day off from work, have a May-day picnic, and we are with our families. Some gentlemen prepare a May tree for their loved ones. 
(You know a high tree with colorful ribbons) We used to make that in primary school. :) 

 

So me as well, I visited my lovely family, therefor, I baked muffins.
These orange muffins, and some chocolate chip muffins for those who prefer non-fruity cakes. :D

Carrot Cake muffins & Coffee muffins


Hey Guys! :)

So, as I promised before, I brought the next dessert idea to make for Easter.
Actually, right now I have two muffin-ideas, which You can easily make at the same time. :)
I think everybody likes sweet coffee flavored pastry with chocolate chips inside, so You can't make a mistake with these coffee-muffins. (There are chocolate little eggs on top). 

And which were even more popular, those were my Carrot cake muffins! I thought it would be the other way around, but I'm happy about it. 
Carrot is a great ingredient, and gives a beautiful  natural orange color! :)
 I wanted to make a picture of my Easter muffins with a bunny, but since I didn't find any, I used my super-cute hamster instead. 
I love her, I got it for graduation! ♥ (I'm really a child inside)

Sacher Cupcake

Hello Again! :)

I've chosen to be the representative of Hungary in an international recipe eBook. Yay! :D
(I don't know how popular  a recipe eBook can be nowadays? Personally, I haven't got any... And to be honest I don't have an eBook reader, neither. I prefer reading real books. But still... This makes me so proud. :D ) 

And as I have found my lost recipes, I can share them with You now. :) Like this Sacher Cupcakes.
I made them for my colleagues' birthday, which was one day before mine, so we had a group celebration at the hotel. And the inspiration came also from them, as my colleague has a secret Sacher recipe...
I don't know if I can tell the secret, but... Here is it:
 Step 1: Grab the brownie from the canteen.
Step 2: Cut it up horizontally.
Step 3: Fill it with jam. 
That's it... :D 
So, honestly, mine is a little bit more complicated,  as we didn't have brownies at home, just simply ready. 
But it's easy, and fun. And as I have a Sacher Cake on the blog with the original recipe (You can check) I decided to make them in cupcakes. :) Cheers!

Tiramisu & Cocoa Muffins



Filled Cocoa muffins, sweet soft bites, what do we need more? 

It was so fun, making these, while we were playing a board game with my family and with my boyfriend. They were playing with enthusiasm , concentrating with full heart to the game, while I was just blending things in a bowl, to make a dessert for them, and I just turned to the game in my turns only. Guess, who won? :) Of course me. :D (but for cheering them up, this dessert made them forget their loss)

Coconut muffins


These little sweet muffins are so delicious! And easy  to make. :) As easy, that I baked it right after waking up, half asleep. I just wanted to bake something for my sweetheart for our one-day-long trip to the mountains. The trip was awesome, Budapest is really pretty when it's snowy, and the muffins were tasty, too. Great combination! :)
